  • the whole concept of categorizing everyone by 2 decade increments at birth is stupid….
    the Boomer generation made sense as there was an event that cause a baby boom and such….
    there’s no single thing that ties gen x, millennials, zoomers or whatever together….
    ….
    i am somewhat fond of the “oregon trail” generation for everyone that remembers playing that game on computers in elementary school….
    and the whole information age coming online was a big unifying event for the kids growing up in it, distinct from previous and future humans….
    ….
    but like, “people born from 1980-2000” is absolute horseshit and just another way “the man” uses to divide and conquer us.













  • it feels like a weird departure from previous eu policies protecting privacy and right to repair… i was really happy when the forced apple to have an alternative store, and forcing phone companies to have a universal charger…
    as an american, i was jealous of a lot of these….
    forcing a company to lock a phone down more doesn’t make sense with that….

    i guess you can still buy a phone with an unlocked boot loader from america and switch over the sim….
    or buy one of them pure linux phones like pinePhone…. but that probably still sucks for non-coders….
    ….
    also, incidentally, iPhone and the Pixel have both proven to be difficult for the police to extract information from, probably largely due to full integration of software and hardware…
    i wonder if they finally worked out a good back door deal with apple….
