Columning on /index.html happened on 2020-10-21 with site commit f36a3215a8bbd0ae9f6b83c9c2b58eabf826a2b7 and was removed on 2021-05-03 with site commit d98a2203895fc3817894b2d99ada84a777b22212.

The issue was that on any modern mobile devices I used (Safari on iOS late 13.x to 14.2 and some privacy-friendly fork of Firefox for Android later) the columns would look weird due to scaling, and on most browsers I really care about supporting (Lynx, Mothra on plan9front, and NCSA Mosaic) the HTML table wouldn't even be rendered. When I tested it it only looked good on graphics-focused desktop web browsers and honestly I would rather have the site be displayed consistently on all devices than have it look pretty. So it bothered me for a while until I got rid of it.

What phone is that?

+

+I use a Unihertz Titan, which is a phone that resembles a Blackberry but is much thicker and has a really high-capacity battery. +I do not recommend it. +Unihertz won't release their modified Linux kernel (which is a violation of the GPL2) and alternative ROMs suffer for it. +

+

+I also have a Pinephone, which I'd like to use as my daily carry but the currently-available software is so buggy I just can't. +So far I've tried PostmarketOS with sxmo and Phosh, and the Manjaro with Plasma Mobile with which the phone came. +All were unnacceptably buggy but have very exciting potential. +

+

+You may have also seen me out and about with an iPhone SE (2016), which I used for a year or so, and which I also don't recommend. +iOS is more of a toy than a tool and always seemed like it was discouraging me from creating anything with it. +

+

+The jailbreak scene is also obnoxiously awful, filled with equal parts anti-piracy pro-proprietary Apple fanboys and script-kiddie pro-proprietary Microsoft lamers. +They will work to prevent the copying and redistribution of modular iOS mods and charge money for even the most basic homebrew apps. +Seriously, the iOS jailbreak community is the worst development community I've ever seen. I think 4chan/pol/ is more civil. +That I've seen, the only value to iOS devices is their camera, and I'll probably end up going the Stanley Leiber route and just use my SE as a very shiny photograph tool. +

+

+Before my iPhone and an abysmal Blu C4 "smart" phone (since given away), I used a variety of feature-phones I disliked. +
