    Hourly workers would never get this meme.

    And neither do I.

    I think this is one of those grammatically and semantically correct sentences that dont mean anything but in meme form

    When I bought a new phone for GrapheneOS, I wanted to see if the new Pixel model was worth it, as mine was EOL. Many reviewers made comments about it being weird not buying a new 600 € phone every single year.

    Then I checked some statistics from my local national bank. I calculated that the average resident in my country was in debt with 24,000 € and had about 3,000€ on hand.

    Genuine question: how is capitalism supposed to continue?

    'I just need to make the numbers look good until I can quit this company and level up. Apre moi, le deluge.' - capitalists without capital

    'I just need to keep things flowing toward me until I can quit this world and level up. Apre moi, le deluge.' - capitalists with capital

    Anyone with a scintilla of awareness knows it has limits, but you can't 'level up' in capitalist games by accepting them.

    They get everyone in horrendous debt until eventually we're all back to being just slaves for like the top 3 dudes. Sure we won't be able to buy nice things any more but slaves don't need nice things.

    Is it just me or is /c/memes almost completely non sequitur?

    I just pulled a 20yo laptop out of storage and put Linux Mint on it because I was bored. Wifi and USB ports are slow as molasses in winter, but works fine otherwise.

    Flashed with /e/OS for security updates?

    If you want to be technical about it, there could (and probably are given OnePlus's security history) still be unpatched firmware bugs that will never get patched because OnePlus and Qualcomm have stopped supporting their CPUs which are that old.

    Not saying anyone should turn their working phones into e-waste, only that you probably shouldn't treat it like it's perfectly secure either just because it's flashed with the newest Android. Be careful with any super sensitive logins like bank accounts and government sites.

    Of course not, /e/OS itself isn't optimally safe either (they aim for maximum compatibility, so most phones can't even relock the bootloader). But it's way, WAY better than a completely unpatched phone from years ago. Not to mention /e/OS gets rid of all the Google spyware in a user-friendly way, and the newer Android makes sure you don't run into compatibility issues.
