    There always will be a divide between those who use technology as a means to an end and those whose end is technology.

    If you think I’m taking a “side” with that statement you’re the latter.

    If you think that’s a dig at anyone it’s probably because you think people care what phone you have, or that I’m trying to sneakily insinuate that you’re not doing anything by installing another flavor of Linux so you can get your dock to line up perfectly the way you want it to.

    If you think people care what phone you have it’s probably because you know people who do.

    If you think you have to be around those people I’m here to tell you I don’t know anyone who cares about what phone I have.

      Honestly surprised at the amount of arguing over iPhones and Androids here, its 2024. It’s not that deep.

      Seriously, of all things tech news related nowadays, green and blue bubbles are a non-issue. If someone has an issue with it, it’s probably worth not making it your issue as well and just walking/swiping away to find someone else to talk to.

      I consistently talk to iPhone users using SMS. Besides from the occasional picture compressed into oblivion, nobody cares enough to even make jokes about the phones we are using. At the end of the day, it’s just a phone.

      Some people think their phone is a status symbol. I just love tech for what it does. Personal phone is on Android, work phone is an iPhone. They’re both good.
