you can run tor on it

my samsung phone gives me several options (charging,mtp,rndis,etc..)
its surprising that your tethering is off. it might seem that its considered a seperate technology.
edit: "RNDIS linux module is being deprecated and will be removed from the Linux Kernel in favor Network Control Model (NCM), but it is used by majority of devices nowadays (2023) and up to now the only way to configure working USB tethering for old Android devices.[1] For more recent devices (Android 14 era) try to use "Network Control Model (NCM) support" module first."

i have an irrational fear of the bacteria that live on sponge.
reading about recompiling debian kernel. it doesnt seem to be ohh soo much harder than gentoo. but it seems fairly uncommon and not as well supported. it is a shame..
the monoculture nature of prepackaged distros is also a problem.
i figured that the opposite is true:

thats kinda true. (even excluding gemini lynx user like myself) comps and phones have reached overkill for most users. therefore sff is totally fine for most users.
truth is.. only reason i dont have a bigger pc is that i want flexibility to move apt if my landlord raises rent. thats literally the only reason.
otherwise i would have dual socket, 8 sticks memory, full sized gpu, etc.
i dont mind not having all that. although, it could be used for something.. currently it would be used for nothing.
whether or not tiktok spreads misinformation..* i do not know.*
but its the only platform i know that feeds your political tendancies if you continually seek it out.
i am very certain that other platforms tend to funnel you toward trad lib (if anything at all!)
so, what some people claim about mainstream censorship.. is true. (in my experience)
