@JellyTBeagle Except in cybersecurity. Luddites like whoa. I have worked with people who still have flip phones. It just took the rest of tech that long to catch up with the paranoid old farts.

    @Cetraria @JellyTBeagle ::raises hand:: I've never been an early adopter. It irritates the living shit out of me that I've become as dependent as I have. Every. Freakin'. Time I'm faced with an update, I just want to crush it with a rock....

    @Cetraria @JellyTBeagle I was considering going back to a flip phone. Until the UK decided that it will become law for everyone to own a smartphone. ๐Ÿ˜•

    @Cetraria @JellyTBeagle Flip phone crew represent. Mostly been a positive experience, including when I can say "oh, I can't install that" when someone tries to get me to use some bullshit app. ๐Ÿ˜† All flip phones now on the market are apparently based on Android, but the lack of app store access and the shitty browser interface means I don't *use* it like a smartphone, which is really what matters to me. I did end up writing a map webapp that works with my phone: https://lab.brainonfire.net/classicmap/
