   @bajax Yeah, but some things are a pain in the ass. This was a pain in the ass. $100 would have been a deal.

     like changing a battery in a smart phone.

     I did it once. Never again.

     It was already it's over by 2012. N900 was released in 2009; by 2012, it was nearly impossible to get root on your phone.

     It's the one that doesn't require a menu and works with everything. It's usually not noisy unless you put gunk in there but there is no chance of "No, let me try to get my phone to stop associating with the speaker so your phone can talk to it...why is it still not picking it up?", a thing I saw happen this year.
     
     I wanna type using buttons on a device where I have root and no spyware.

     @p @nicholas @bajax @IceCubeSoup there's no device where you have a root and no spyware. 'reflections on trusting trust' is a thousand years old by now, you can't proof security with tech, you have to infer it via economics.

     @lain @IceCubeSoup @bajax @nicholas Pretty sure there exist computers without spyware and that I own some of them; I don't know why this form factor is exempt. Anyway, I'm not trying to prove security, I'd just really like to be able to run reasonable software that Google/Apple didn't write.

     I would like to use my devices after 4 years.

     I've declared a crusade against audio dropouts and headphones that are paperweights after 3 years of heavy use. (Good job Sony for providing a jack that doesn't need battery power to work on the XM4s; Fuck you Sony for making your headphones optimized for shitty EDM.)

     @lain @IceCubeSoup @bajax @nicholas @p Also on the note of repairability, were are in a time where unrepairable flagship devices are more repairable than everything else thanks to the sheer amount of people buying them. You'll have a hard time finding a usable battery replacement for a chinesium phone, but there is a good chance you can find one for Pixel/Galaxy/iDevices. Which is just sad.

     @mitchconner @IceCubeSoup @bajax @nicholas "We'll deign to allow the peasants to unlock the bootloader on this Android device so they can run different kinds of Android, the main almost open-ish of source thing." :vomit:
     
     People complain if an aarch64 kernel patch to run a chip isn't upstreamed fast enough but then as soon as it has a 4G modem in it, expectations drop until they're fine with no buttons and a kernel that Google patched and shoved firmware blobs into and the only shell you get is essentially a terminal emulator with a UML kernel embedded and the manufacturer "allowing" you to flash it with a different image that you didn't compile.
     
     Straight to the GNUlag with every phone manufacturer in anno domini $current_year.

     @nuukaset @IceCubeSoup @bajax @lain @nicholas No, I'm not buying IBM PowerPC gear unless I get Blue Gene budget, but I don't think that's the only option. I built the kernel and the uboot binary and all the code running on the machine where I'm typing this and also on the server running it. Short of gcc getting its :ken: trust trusted :ken:, I think it's reasonable, but even a terrible shit-tier Windows all-in-one machine is less revolting than 99% of the phones you can buy.

     @nuukaset @IceCubeSoup @bajax @lain @nicholas I don't want to pretend the situation is acceptable but if I can build the bootloader and the kernel from source and then compile enough software to make the machine useful, that is the software side of the problem solved.

     headphone jacks why? if you're an audiophile, why would you listen on the device with the highest electronic noise ever?

     Not an audiophile, just want stuff to just work ^T^M. I tried wired usbc headphones, every little bump or jostle disconnects it, not only stopping playback, but also for some reason clearing the 'currently playing' memory, so even if I can wiggle it back in in my pocket, I can't resume playback without relaunching the app and manually pressing play. Impossible task while riding a motorcycle.
