In case you’re curious, the Nokia flip phone I got my daughter is the Nokia 2780 Flip.

It no longer runs WhatsApp, actually. The new version of the OS (KaiOS which is a fork of the dead Firefox OS) broke compatibility and Meta apparently decided to not bother with supporting it.

Funny enough, Nokia started making cheap flip phones and some others in that form factor again. My daughter asked to replace her smartphone with one of the flip phones. It was only $70, so I got her one. It’s build quality is what you would expect, but it works and has GPS at least.

Google can get fucked. I feel like there will be a nontrivial market for de-googled or older and unlocked Android phones after this. If they manage to kill off custom roms with their previous AOSP rug pull I’ll go back to using a (subpar) Linux phone or maybe even one of those cheap flip phones.

Maybe I misunderstood the prompt, I wasn’t taking it that we’d have no nationality at all. Generally speaking, most pieces of land tend to be claimed by a nation with maybe Antarctica as an exception. Alright then I guess I’d need to add a “desperately try to acquire citizenship or get my current boss to pay me under the table” step :)

Nice. I also wanted a DAP that didn’t run Android and I ended with the fun and ultra gimmicky Mixxtape (you can use the device itself as a cassette tape). It was only $60-ish, so don’t expect top tier build quality or interface, but I am pretty happy with it.

It’s still the best Windows music app. It is one of the only things I miss from Windows.

I work from home, so I guess I can stop paying taxes? It’s not like I was thinking I’d get a real retirement anyway.

Awesome, glad you like it so far. Also take a look at the plugins from the main menu. it comes with a bunch and most are disabled by default. It is also, if you are so technically inclined, relatively easy to write new plugins in Python.

Not the person you responded to, but on Linux, i think quod libet is the best for me. On Windows, (still) foobar2000.
