Personnel
gollark: I agree.
gollark: Personally, I'm pretty dissatisfied with the state of the phone market, since user control is being taken away constantly because "sEcUriTy", the lack of standardization on ARM and monolithic design of Android makes actually getting updates after a while unlikely, and I don't like the "entire front is screen except there's randomly a bit missing for a camera" aesthetic which is a thing now, or the fact that battery life is somehow stagnant despite increasingly good battery tech.
gollark: Oh, the magisk app or whatever it is too, right.
gollark: F.lux, Termux, ... I think that's it?
gollark: Yes, and not that many and they're pretty trustworthy.
