I looked into my options really carefully when choosing my phone last year. Few things to note, when looking for an Android phone:

  • Make sure it's either a pixel or a Snapdragon powered phone. This just means that if the manufacturer does some stupid stuff, there is a higher probability of your phone having a custom rom.
  • Stay away from Samsung if you want to install custom roms, they are really against it.
  • Pick a manufacturer of good build quality and software updates being stable, some manufacturers just half as them and brick the phone/ damage display/motherboard because they pushed update with wrong voltage.
  • if you want a basic phone and don't really care about the most beautiful photos or do heavy mobile gaming, just pick a cheap phone, it will be more than enough.

The phone I picked was Moto G52, it cost me ~150USD and it is one of the best phone experiences I've had. It lasts me 2-3 days on a charge, mostly because I do close to nothing on it just answering calling/messages and some basic internet surfing. For my purpose, it is better than a top end iPhone/Android phone.

Motorola is quite slow with updates, but the community is great and created and are now maintaing custom roms, which means I get the latest software updates quite regularly. The camera is passable, but the speakers they are loud like really really loud, louder almost all smartphone.

Bonus points: it has a headphone jack.

I also got myself a surname.me domain for this reason. Now I feel like a boss.

p.s. I'm also a bit scared if the .me domain could be called of by the country,. since it's not a genericTLD, controlled by Montenegro.

So did you give in and start feeding them? Or did it evolve into a war, which you lost by moving somewhere else?

Rather than a screen a good place to mount phone by default which is easy to remove and place would be amazing.

You will be surprised to find that a lot of European nations actually don't give a shit about it. I sometimes proxy to a random European country to access a few websites which are unavailable in my country.

I can't say, OP is probably saying having NONE as pronouns is bad?

If that is it, I will probably take shyguygamer667 side cause it just might be that they are not willing to disclose their pronouns and that is perfectly fine.

I will tell you there is no need to be worried about coding. You don't have to be worried about not knowing how to code. The coding part of coding is the simplest and the easiest part, the much much more important part is the thinking part, basically what you want to achieve and how you should go about it.

A lot of so called professional "coders" don't know what it is that they are doing. A few days ago i looked at my sister's very impressive code. That was truly a hard day, the ways in which I controlled myself by not beating the shit out of her for being a piece of garbage who is incapable of thinking. She would not understand even when explained in simple words why her code was incredibly shit and what to do to fix it, finally she didn't fix it and left ruining more than just my day, she sent me into a trance worrying about the future of mankind as a whole, which I have still not been able to come out of.

Also as far as coding is concerned I would suggest you get started with python. It is easy and simple. Learn the basics in python, for majority of the things you will have achieved your desire.

I suggest that you use the book automate the boring stuff as a starting point, it will not only help you with your desire for coding, but may also come out to help you in your day-to-day things as well. You can easily find the pdf for free.
