I grew up in a conservative stronghold and still live adjacent to several of them. Separating ideas from people is a maturing point and one that I hope you and your detractors aspire to.
The worst parts of Lemmy show up when one doesn't fall lockstep into whatever flavor of far-left naviete is being pushed down-thread.
I don't agree with everything you posted above but the name calling you were handed in response to an attempt at earnest conversation is an excellent window into the grade school maturity of those very elements.
It's almost as if my point was the laziness of a broad brush and the inability to have a conversation without falling back to antics deserving of the playground.
I've given up concerning myself with what others think and went with a coral (pink) phone this go-around. While this probably won't pertain to your bro, it nicely sidesteps the issue.

Are you running Cinnamon? I was impressed with the customization options out of the box and had to stop playing with it as I wanted to keep things fairly plain. Looking forward to later dropping it on a burner laptop for my own twiddling.
This weekend I finally joined the club of folks that install Mint on their parent's aging laptops. I'm a Nix/Arch user btw and am very impressed with the ease of use and flexibility that Mint brings to the table.
As a seven-plus year Linux vet I've known about OpenWRT for some time but only made the switch about 3 months or so myself to breathe some life into an aging Linksys.
I'm very impressed with the kit so far, it runs well (snappy even) and the amount of options provided are a bit overwhelming at first. Eventually I'll move on to prosumer hardware, but this is a nice middle ground in the interim.
Strava has continued to enshittify the app to the point that I'm getting ads after every activity. Anyway, I decided to delete it after yesterday's run and will keep an eye on this project. Thanks!
