Yet another autistic computer nerd. I mainly code in Rust™ and right now I’m working on a better TOR. I’m in high school, and to be honest I wouldn’t mind a scolarship. I joined Mastodon after the Reddit exodus, let’s see how it goes (edit: going great!).

Rustacean, neurodiverse (high-functioning ASD & probably ADHD) trying to adapt to the world around them, agender because I couldn’t care less, and an absolute computer nerd beyond salvation.

@BearOfaTime @warm at 6", even smaller hands like mine are able to reach within .5cm of the top of the screen. At that size, the weight distribution of the phone is what makes a difference in terms of manageability. For example, the weight distribution of the Pixel 6a (6.1") makes it a breeze to use with my right hand, but a tad more difficult with my left one. Using it in reverse (had to once) is impossible one-handed.

@AdmiralShat @FragmentedChicken phones that support esims have actual sim chips inside, and esims basically flash the carrier data onto that chip.

@WarmSoda @Ranvier in the US, especially if you’re young, you’re indirectly forced. Luckily here that’s not the case.

@soulfirethewolf @ijeff its biggest lockdown is the security model, which even though it won’t disallow you from doing anything you couldn’t otherwise do (if you’re motivated enough), it draws the line of tradeoffs to make. I gave up rooting and a lot of stuff (like contactless payments) for it’s security and stability, and I’m fine with that, but you should ask yourself if that’s worth it for you. If you have to go out of your way to break the security model, even once, then it isn’t for you.

@netchami @ijeff ironically, graphene had to do its porting through unofficial source releases and then finish the porting by comparing against the official A14 source; whereas Samsung, as a partner of google, had exclusive access to the unreleased source.
