thank you for your input, sharkfucker420

Hmm, works for me in Aus, maybe since the ISP bs doesn't happen with TPG.

Probably still faster than my ThinkPad 11e at video streaming

I resonate with that point, since I do a digital art/tech class, which uses Macs. I find app crashes and the inaccessibility of certain menus quite infuriating, i even somewhat rage internally for a while until i either quit what i was doing or search it up.

When my 8 year old Fedora laptop freezes, crashes, or sound drivers crash like what happened yesterday, I stay very calm and think of a solution, such as updating and restarting.

even if I haven't built the OS myself or really customised it at all, i find it more calming that i have options to completely change the software compared to locked down OSes.

I definitely agree, though I'd also add the Australia/New Zealand region as well, since we are also reasonably heavy users of phones too. Also I'm from Victoria, Australia by the way, it's pretty fascinating how diverse the internet is :)

I guess it lands differently in other parts of the world and is more nuanced than I previously anticipated, since, where I live we are quite agnostic between devices to message with, some use phones, some use tablets, some use laptops, and it goes on. As for my friend group, none of us communicated using phones until mid 2022, two years into our friendships.

Since we all moved to our senior campus, we are just now emphasising smartphones as a daily method of communication, compared to our previous default, laptops and desktops, but we normally use the same apps/sites we used to, specifically discord and Instagram.

Again, I believe it depends on the area, maybe in other parts they use phones much more often compared to us, or some may never use phones at all.

I'll probably switch my school laptop to Fedora from windows 11/tiny11 because why not, all of the stuff I really need for it can be done on a browser anyway. Also it'd be funny to confuse everyone around me about what it runs, and act like I'm hacking by using cmatrix Infront of them like a silly goof.

As a 17 year old who has 3 phones (somewhat strange story behind it), giving a child a phone should be either when they need it, such as when they go out more often or other events where they need a specific use, but if not, I believe 18 to 20 is not a bad age to receive one, since young adults are more likely to need to travel to schooling such as UNI more often and generally need more info about travel routes and to be able to message parents/siblings/etc.

As for my 3 phones, one is a galaxy S4 my dad gave me as a hand-me-down, pretty much used to text my parents exclusively, then I received an oppo Reno z from a friend who didn't need it, which I currently use as a games and social media phone, then the third is one is a galaxy a20 my dad brought home and said I could take if I wanted, since there were a few of those unused at his workplace, so I now just use that as a flashlight.

I didn't expect that, I was thinking it would be a lot worse, actually kinda wholesome

If I ever buy one of these, I'd only ever use it to encase in resin and put on a shelf as a comedic ornament.

Any bet the control panel is the only thing holding my dad back from switching to Linux for home use, because he absolutely hates the windows 10 and 11 settings apps.

if past me ever heard a billionaire say this, he'd probably believe it was an onion article, because it sounds too out there and complete bullshit, but now less so since I've actually heard of the technology.

Not excusing his actions but, as an Australian, I find child support a predatory system, the fact it basically cyphons people's finances, hurts their potential for growth and rehab, and the fact that I've heard so many stories of the parent never using the funds on their kids, but on their own greed and self fulfilment, which is just horrific, although I don't believe I know enough about this topic to have a truly well thought out opinion.

And perhaps he was named Billy
