Replicant doesn't seem to be in the cards for me. I carry the most minimal
flip phone possible and leave it at home often enough that my adult kids
would throw a fit if they ever found out.
They don't like it and are constantly offering to buy me smartphones and
reminding me that I don't HAVE to carry an $X phone and that they think I am
way too young for the model I had to settle on, which is designed for senior
citizens.
It has a wonderful effect on cashiers and other random AFK people who want to
collect personal info to spam me. All I really have to do is pull it out,
look at it, shrug my shoulders and act confused, and then put it away again.
J.B. Nicholson-Owens' post is absolutely the best ever though. I would
totally follow his advice if I didn't have this family.
We put the "fun" back in "dysfunctional". ;)
