But AOSP is open source? So that term wouldn't improve on the problem.
I think GNU phones or GNU-like phones is a nice way to put it.

Was curious, original quote:

The finest trick of the devil is to persuade you that he does not exist.

From Le Spleen de Paris (1862), by Charles Baudelaire. In the movie "The Usual Suspects", this became

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.

This is the first time I heard of Ethernet over HDMI and I can't tell if you're joking.

Many native societies (who often still exist today), the zapatistas, in the ZADs, the Paris commune, Rojava, and also potentially most of the time humanity existed. I could dig up more, but arguing with somebody who has opinions like that is tedious.

"Meanwhile, antihumanists have divested the very concept of Progress of all relevance and meaning in the farrago of human self-denigration that marks the moods of the present time. A skepticism that denies any meaning, rationality, coherence, and continuity in History, that corrodes the very existence of premises, let alone the necessity of exploring them, renders discourse itself virtually impossible"

Bookchin, you can find the context here

That's great to hear you're trying to be better than your skewed view of humanity! I hope I was wrong.
I don't know you, so hating you is kind of difficult and I don't want to anyways :). I do absolutely despise the opinions you've presented in this thread though. I understand them on an emotional level, but I really encourage you to try to grow past them. It only helps those who want to make the world a worse place, and I personally think that empathy and cooperation is the way out.
I understand that's more difficult than just throwing the towel.

On the off-chance the reason is the first, I recommend Kropotkin's "Mutual Aid" as an intro. It's free in the anarchist library and other places.

This worldview is getting increasingly more common with more people falling for eco-fascist talking points. In my experience it most often boils down to two reasons why this happens: lack of education or unwillingness.
As you mentioned you're in a privileged position, I am just gonna accuse you of the second. And that's a shame. I bet with all the time you have from being free from being forced to do wage labour you could actually do good in the world. Your generalisation is an insult to every good person in the world, and I find that to be narrow-minded and disgusting.

Oh yeah. Where are those civilizations? Exactly.

Would you mind explaining how you answer that question yourself? Just so I don't misunderstand you.

Is the average life expectancy really 76? That's lower than I expected

So what you're saying because "power over" is bad, humans are bad? There are plenty humans civilizations who did a better job at preventing power, maybe your misanthropy is a symptom of a narrow worldview?
