Arthur Besse@lemmy.mltoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•there is a remote controlled ai agent on every google device that can not be turned offEnglish1·2 days agoIf you want to keep your Fairphone and ditch android, Fairphone 4 and 5 both appear to be well supported by Ubuntu Touch. The downside is that Ubuntu Touch is currently still based on the 2020 LTS release of Ubuntu (which does still get updates, at least). Fairphone 4 is also somewhat supported by postmarketOS, but call support there is listed as “partial”.

Contrary to comments in many places like this reddit thread from 2018, I suspect the phrase wasn’t actually used in many textbooks or very commonly known prior to that tumblr post.
(If you search on Google Books you can find numerous textbooks using the phrase. Range-based search on Google Books appears to be broken so I’m not sure, but all the ones I checked were published well after 2013.)

in case it is unclear to anyone: the above is a joke.
in all seriousness, renaming someone else’s account and presenting it to CBP as one’s own would be dangerous and inadvisable. a more prudent course of action at this time is to avoid traveling to the united states.
