Dude the Linux iTunes incompatibility is INSANE. I still have windows as a dual boot on most of my machines (AND HAVE HAD THE SAME LOVELY EXPERIENCE OF WINDOWS FUCKING UP EVERYTHING AFTER ONE BAD BOOT, THANK YOU WINDOWS (extra thank you to my genius Linux friend who fixed my issue by having me boot from my ventoy live partition and type like three lines into terminal, I would have taken DAYS if not for them I love them)
ANYWAY, insane that we can’t plug an iPhone into Linux and back up just as easily as on windows or mac. There’s absolutely no excuse for that anymore.
I’m also VERY with you on fidget toy—got a flip phone after my first brick, then Densha Otoko convinced me to get a slider phone… spinning it hard enough would cause it to expand or contact, and the slide motion was SO satisfying. Then I got a Dream when they were released and that crazy semi-circle slide motion was delicious. I had a couple other phones before I switched over to an iPhone, all having slide mechanisms. I’m… really into slide mechanisms. If I gotta get a brick style phone again that’s all screen, I just want it to be stupid easy for basic stuff, which is why I’m on the iPhone’s dick unnecessarily much for whatever reason. My dream is a Linux phone with a slide out keyboard that can do all the things I use my phone for, including payment at local stores. I know that’s completely impossible right now, but a bish can hope I guess
But I gotta give it to ifone for just feelin right to me. It is would that you still can’t plug it into an ix-based system and explore files like…. A regular device? Like it’s supposed to? That’s kinda the most egregious to me. I think I said before that I didn’t have any issues, and that’s wrong. But I kinda minimize them cuz it doesn’t really come up much for me—I keep my phone as little computer of its own, and ship shit to Big Computer when it’s important or whatever.
Why am I writing this much? Am I defending faceless corporation? Or am I just writing stream-of-conscousness shit because I’m no longer sober? Probably the latter, ‘cuz I switched to a keyboard halfway through this shitpost comment and now spellcheck both works and doesn’t work. Anyway, I’mana go lay down. You’ve got some excellent points, I still love this fone, and there are big improvements that feel way simpler to implement than it’s taken what, a decade and a half to implement?
bottom text (I had to delete the capital b in the word “bottom” like eight times before I figured out I had to type multiple “b”s and delete the capital (capitol? No, that’s not right) letter B and keep the small one or it wouldn’t let me type fully-lower-case-stylized-“bottom text” without capitalizing the “B”)
Yeah no worries for the stream of consciousness, I do the same thing lol. I’m probably on the other extreme and complaining too much about things that don’t really matter. I tend to be a very yin / negative person though lol
