            you have a linux phone?

            been using ubuntu touch on a nexus 5 for a couple of months. recently switched to a nokia n900 + a boomer phone. im just waiting until the pinephone keyboard case comes out then i'll use that with i3 or dwm or w/e

              hell yeah I'm planning on switching within the next year or two once it matures slightly and more importantly I hopefully have money to spare on a new phone

                dude get yourself a nexus 5, since google stopped supporting them last year they are dirt cheap. i got mine for like 40€. you can flash it with postmarketOS or Ubuntu Touch. Hardware is actually on par with the pinephone, ubports is even slightly faster on the nexus

                  damn I've gotta check that out, I didn't know they got so cheap now!

                  edit: and it runs android kit kat out the box, that will be a wonderful blast to the past before I load up linux.

        I swear, when I get in the trackers I want it's over for my three free Spotify accounts that I switch between when my cracked apk wants to make me pay by acting dumb with "failed connection".

        Probably one of the few places I feel I can say you can ethically consume under capitalism. They have a store, but most employees work remote which allows them to cut office rent and expenses. I'm sure there are weird behind the scenes shit that sucks, but Bandcamp purchases have helped my friends a lot this pandemic, even if it is just a round of groceries.

      at the same time, support your favorite small artists who cant tour right now. Buy some vinyl so you get something to look at along with a download code. Laura Steveson just had a baby and released a re-issue of sit resist.

    Remembering the 00s when weirdo bands like yellow swans could sell thousands of cdrs and dj screw could build an empire selling mix tapes.
