My dad was trying to get a grooming appointment for his cat something that should take all of 5 minutes over the phone, checking a calendar and penciling it it, but no gotta do it through a web portal then an app, and make sure you put in your credit card number!

ofc my dad got more and more angry as even I was messing around with this crap going over fields over and over because I put in the wrong number, ugh. Bring back simple shit please.

You aren't permitted to not own an android or apple smartphone with an active number and internet access. You aren't visible as an individual to corporations or even many governments without one. I don't see this getting better any time soon either.

Pinephone FTW tux

from my experience tinkering with it years ago the OG pinephone has awful performance due to its very old SoC. No matter what distro or GUI i used it was unbearably stuttery and slow even just swiping through the home screens.

the pinephone pro theoretically should be a lot more modern and performant (its also more expensive), but i dont have one yet so i cant say too much on it
