On the lunch long time ago, I was complaining to my colleagues about surprisingly expensive pizza: "20 euros for the pizza! In some countries you would get a blowjob for that kind of money!"
Few minutes later, another colleague joined us and I immediately told him: "This is 20 euro pizza!".
He answered: "What?? Did you get a blow job with it?"
One female colleague noted: "I see you both visit similar kind of .. restaurants".
Well, not really, not in any practical sense. It's hard to customize it in a sense you can customize a linux distro or desktop environment, it's hard to script things on Android, it's hard to access filesystem etc. You have to do everything "android way", not "Linux way" - the skills you may have from one platform are not transferable to the other.
Oh, let me tell you about that. I have an Xiaomi phone purchased about 2 months ago, based on supposedly unlockable bootloader... and I haven't been able to successfully jump through all the hoops they put in the way of unlock in this whole time. Their support is completely useless, the community is full of people with same issues and no solutions and every unsuccessful attempt at unlock pushes the next one one day or two weeks (!) into the future. Fuck this shit. All I'm asking is 'sudo' on a "Linux" computer I bought.
Except I would HATE 1. having the full computer use the Android OS (or ios) 2. Not having full access (administrative / root) rights on my computer, for some vague security handwaving.
Well.. I bought a Xiaomi (global) phone on a basis of it being unlockable... And after two months of unsuccessful attempts and useless back and forth with their support, I can only say: fuck Xiaomi too.
