Sent a cv to a company because facebook threw their ad at my face and i said why not. They emailed me that they would call me today. I dont have a phone. Its not fucking 2007. Call me on matrix or telegram or even skype ffs.

Most of the people check their phone at least once per hour. How can you don't have a phone, and if you don't have a phone, how can you post here 🤔

@sunfishcc right, i have a phone, just dont have a sim card in it

@BindView speak about no sim card, I really need a iPod touch, but apple seems give up on this product.😓

@sunfishcc omg, talk about a throw back lol. I had a gen 2, loved that thing, don't even know where it is now though :/ I remember wanting one so bad and being ecstatic when I opened it on Christmas :D

@ScribeOfGoD this reminds me,
😭 my 1st camera phone got stolen within a week,
my 1st and last iPod photo got stolen within a week.
In my memory, most of my stuff got stolen soon or later.
Maybe lack of memory?😩

@sunfishcc we're in the same boat man, my first ome got stolen within a week, but my parents loved me so they bought me another one, i was lucky

@ScribeOfGoD I don't understand how can someone steal from a person he will see everyday and pretend nothing happened 😨

Man... I hire devs all the time, I've never met someone without a phone number. Having the ability to talk on the phone is critical...

A SIM is kinda critical when looking for a job and having one. I've had a few times my server went down and I get a call at 2am to come to work and fix it. Employers like to have a 1-1 communication with you instead going through a 3rd party service

@Alpham0use isn't the mobile network also a 3rd party service? And even a very insecure one.

@RobertSmits @Linuxxx

@gitpull @RobertSmits I'd rather trust the local phone network than Skype or telegram!

@linuxxx @gitpull But there are secure free and open source alternatives.

@RobertSmits And I use those :) (not counting telegram as a secure option by the way)

@linuxxx Funny thing, I don't use them I found it is quite hard to get people to move to a new messsging platform. Truely whith the insane ammount of friends I have (like 5 or so). So here I am still using Facebook Messenger

@RobertSmits I said fuck it and moved to the most easy to use open solution and left the rest behind :)

@linuxxx And what solution may that be?

@RobertSmits That's Signal in my case :)

(apologies to the OP for getting this convo going on HIS rant :( let's stop now)

@linuxxx nah, go on, i like reading conversations like this, ill reply eventually
