Thanks for explaining, I didn't know it was such a mess.

This also explains why I had so many problems with calling when I tried to use unlocked flip phones and dumb phones in years past. There were always issues with my voice not coming through, it being to quiet, or missing calls altogether. After that I ditched them for a Pixel, only to have the mic in it die at 6 months. I'm legitimately cursed with calling issues.

In America I wanted to use an old moto g5, since it had 4g LTE and was all I needed. Every version of android between 7-14 is available for it through custom ROMs, and some people are still releasing security updates. But it turned out ATT and others "Whitelisted" it from their networks for being too old. Apparently when the switchover happened ATT sent everyone with a whitelisted phone a cheapo garbage phone as consolation, and nudged them to buy a new phone. Super scummy behavior.

The Dollars are light and graciously accepted by the cashier, but do not gratify the hand in its heft and presence. The coins are heavy, and bestows immediate gratification to the weighing extremities; nonetheless the cashier will be enraged at the prospect of counting the cost.

Read that again.

Another day, more Mozilla FUD. I just saw the switched on Linux guy posted some too. They arent a perfect company, but lets not pretend they're exactly like google or a mini google. It feels almost coordinated to get you to feel like all companies are compromised, so you should just use the popular thing and forget about privacy and security.

Im lucky find one of those fake $100 brochures these days, lol. Nice.

I feel like this song doesn't get much recognition, but real fans know. They are the definition of cool.
