How did we get to a point where a phone is so important? I want the $59 flip phone. Shove you Cr'apps where the sun don't shine. 2k to be spammed in three ways, fuck it.
How could we not get to this point? Personal computing has been transforming the world for decades and the inevitable point of that was always having one in our pockets.
The pricing is stupid, but that we got here with phones is not. It's a personal computer with a radio in it.
That's how my linux phone was. Never did I think I would be doing overseas classes in Japan on a phone with mouse. [Ignore all the other issues in this situation]
