It’s the classic Rousseau vs. Hobbes philosophical debate (from the tiny amount of philosophy I studied)…

Are people innately kind and good but it’s society’s iniquities that cause people to do evil things? Or are people innately evil and selfish save for the societies’ rules and structure that allow people to be on their best behaviour? I believe the former but I can’t discount all the evidence of the other…

I support all peoples except those who speak in absolutes.

I’m not due to replace my Samsung Xcover with a headphone jack and removable battery for a while yet, I got it in March 2024…

But when I do in a few years, I’d like the Jolla phone as its app support probably has matured at that point.

Part of the issue is that the latest version of Samsung’s OneUI completely removes the option to unlock the bootloader. More technical info on the (xda forum).
