Not sure I got to 1 minute before I switched off: no idea what his general output is but not willing to waste 11 minutes of my life listening to some loud fellow talking about a subject he admits he knows nothing about (Librem 5)!
Absolutely agree with all the flow above: I am of a generation who thought the telex machine was awesome office automation. For sure much of our technological progress over any era has been to speed up communications. And yes, figure the millennial addiction to anti-social media is not a positive step, indeed watched the rise of email in my working life to the point where responses had to be in seconds rather than hours! (And the content of your mail was irrelevant, it was who you copied that really gave it "substance"!)
So yup, I now head my own "Grumpy Old Git" club - I look forward to using my PinePhone to interact with the world on my terms. I enjoy my life. And I pity the stressed millennials addicted to their IOS/Alphabet/Twitter/... feeds. I am in no doubt it is not reality (last week's UK election result was fun where the actual outcome bore no resemblance to the loud mouth opinion on Twitter). I am in no doubt it makes many of them very unhappy (I happen to see many medical records in my port-retirement consulting role!) But it is their world now, I wish them well with it! (And recognise that many years ago there was a previous Grumpy Old Git who said pretty much the same thing about my generation
