Linux Desktop has only got better in recent years. I made the switch to Ubuntu ~5 years back and have the opposite problem now - switching back to Windows/macOS can be a buggy pain.

Proprietary apps are still a pain for switching, but helped that most of the main ones (office) have capable web variants.

If you're alright with a one-off fee there's always Pushover. I'd been using it for notifications like this. There's also Discord, if need be just create a server for you and the bot.

They used to still be only a small percentage until the entire internet got completely decimated by ads in the past 5 years.

Do COPPA fines apply here?

British joining in on this too, after deciding to abandon the EU…

I’ve got one of these. Fantastic phone but the official OS was basically abandoned in terms of security updates. Need to check out custom ROMs.

I thought “that sounds cool” until I realised I’ve past that mark by 800 days 🤪

Reminds me of the South Park episode where all the boys join Shop class except Kenny who goes into Home Ecs, and they do shit like this with him.

Looks like the Wednesday Dude frog.

I'm actually using a Titan Pocket currently. Works well enough for me. The security updates are lagging behind that's getting me considering switching back, but I'm otherwise cautious how I use it.

It's a nice feeling device, and makes me wish they'd make more BlackBerry style phones with bigger displays and Android capability.

People see you whip the titan out and think "oh he's doing that rollback technology thing", then you use Android Pay and they really flip out lol.

Me and 8 gave me a good chuckle, great list.

Across the pond in the UK they're expanding ULEZ and this is a major sticking point. You need to upgrade to more fuel efficient cars, right when buying shopping is expensive enough. They want you to get new cars, and the majority cannot aford them.
