I wish I could buy a second hand pixel phone anywhere here. (Central EU) They might be popular in the US, maybe a couple of them are sold in western Europe, but in this region they are imppssible to find.

Facebook is nowhere dead. Everyone I meet wants to chat via Messenger, small firms here don’t bother creating a website anymore, they create a facebook page (’ cause everyone’s there) and local/company communities use facebook groups to talk. Not to mention event hosts, they create fb events. If you are interested in topics that are liked globally, the fediverse is getting better. But if you are looking for a local community, you’ll rarely find any. The lemmy page of my country is basically dead, the sub however is thriving.

India will have a real problem in a couple of decades… Or they will make their own models with unlimited lifetime honks.

At least apple uses the data to sell you their stuff to my knowledge. On the other hand, google bombards you with ads from tons of different firms and sells you out to these companies.

WTF is this? People finding their way from lemmingrad here?
