Hey everyone, I was entertaining the thought of going away from owning a smart phone.

I already have a modded ipod classic that I use as my main music player.

I also know how to use a paper map.

I also have the Microsoft authentication app for work (I could just use my phone on wifi mode for this)

The last issue I have is WhatsApp where I communicate with friends and family around the world.

Is there a way to use WhatsApp on a non-smart phone? Or should I just buy a pixel and install a secure rom?

By downvoting my comment you're saying you don't care what I have to say. So that's the end of this debate. Good night.

You tried implying that I can't keep a schedule, instead of addressing the earlier argument. Someone clearly downvoted that. It wasn't me.

"I have no responses to your arguments so I'm gonna use some ridiculous bullshit excuse to leave while pretending my rhetoric wasn't completely proved wrong"

Were you even conscious before mobile phones became a thing?

[–] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well if it wasn't you then I apologize.

Yes I was about 20 when mobiles took off. But my "rhetoric" wasn't proved wrong or right. It was just my perspective. You can have yours too and that's fine.

Fair do's, mate.
