Like girl we’re 27 and broke and your telling us not only of we want out of the hellscape of Apple vs Android bullshit we either gotta make out own phone or pay 2k€ for a fucking phone?! FOR A PHONE!!!

      Honestly, I think it’s partly that tech workers are out of touch with reality in terms of pay/income. I’ve heard senior software devs be absolutely floored / in utter disbelief when they’ve heard the average salary in my country – ppl literally laughed, thinking it a joke, because they couldn’t believe anyone could live on so little. They were making double the average right out of university. They have no frame of reference for people who struggle to pay bills, nor do they pay much thought to blowing a few thousand on a gadget.
