Spanish BQ manufacturer sold Ubuntu phones a while ago. I had one, and it felt great. Unfortunately the phone itself (the screen in particular) was pretty low quality, and the customer support not qualitative enough. Mine broke just by sitting in the couch with it in my pocket. That was a huge lost opportunity.

A little mental trickery you can use is to move to calculating how many hours have passed when you start thinking how many are left.

The brain is lazy, and creating extra effort will gradually make it avoid the original thought in the first place. It will also make you think about what you have managed to do, and the relax you have taken, instead of projecting into the things that are to come, that, since they are not already done, seem more tiresome.

This advice comes with 0 guarantee of success from a completely unreliable source. Take it with a grain of salt. In my case it works pretty well.

Is there a crowdfunding?

I use names of bones for my different serves. I have metacarpus, clavicle, femur and coccyx.

I think in this case is more a "not enough is the friend of comptent". But you do you 🤷🏻‍♂️

Whatever. I don't think this suggested action is of any use, but quite the opposite, and in other circumstances I would not say anything about it. But what we are going through, in my opinion, is important enough to call it out. Sorry if it sounded condescending, but for once, I think it has to be said.

Too late. If not buying unnecessary shit they don't need from a particular retailer that could be replaced by any other during a previously delimited week seems revolutionary to them... I'm sorry but... They are a huge part of the problem.

I have spent the 38 years I have accumulated without needing to buy a single thing from that particular company. WTF?

You can make a seven days long hunger strike and that is commendable.

But a previously delimited week not buying commodities you don't need from a particular company with literally thousands of alternatives, sounds just completely ridiculous.

You are not boycotting food production, or sewage, or drinking water... You are suggesting that a seven days strike in buying the Vaseline you will need from the retailer that creates that same need is kind of a revolutionary action.

¡From the people that is dismantling your state!

Your society (and I'm really sorry to tell you this crudely) is deeply sick, if you think this is somehow fierce.

I have ordered from them line 5 or 6 times, subscribed for a year because I wanted to watch a series by terry Pratchett, and never again interacted with it in the past 8 years or so. You are not boycotting food or water or oxygen.
