Honestly, at this point I kinda prefer to go on Reddit. I’m getting tired of all the tech/FOSS talk and there’s so much doom and gloom on here it just bums me out.

Heyyo, I’m from Hanoi!
Chiming in from a third world country. Just did a speedtest. On LTE right now i get 100 down 60 up, 500GB/month for 35$ a year =).
OMG, yes! I’ve been running into so many rude/toxic comments lately. For me it feels like this place is devolving into Reddit again.

11·11 months agoYeah, they’re former Redditors. They don’t read past the titles.
Anti-work can stay on Reddit. I’m sick of their bitching.
Cool but when is GNOME gonna do fractional scaling without half the apps I use going blurry?

Like you, IDGAF about status symbols. It’s just that a two year-old flagship/high-end phone will work better and longer than a new budget phone for the same price. Like you can get a 300-350$ Pixel 7 Pro right now refurbished from Amazon and you’ll have a better experience than the myriads of new phones on sale for the same price. This holds true for the cheaper Pixel 7 as well. That saves you a ton of time and money. Not to mention it’s better for the environment.
My experience has been the complete opposite. I’ve had a couple Xiaomi/Samsung phones in the 300$ range. They all worked like crap. The midrange chips were fast for about one year, and then kept heating and dropping frames in the simplest animations even in custom OSes. The cameras took really awful photos. The batteries degraded really quickly. The displays weren’t bright enough, the vibration motors felt bad after a while. Even some of the little things like the touch response, raise to wake, double tap to wake or auto brightness never worked well on any OS. My Pixel 6 Pro refurb for 330$ US felt COMPLETELY different. It was such a big upgrade, the screen was so much better than the shitty LCD/OLEDs on budget phones. It was brighter, faster, more responsive to touch. The build quality is honestly excellent. This phone feels great to touch and hold. The glass doesn’t scratch nearly as easily too. The cameras are amazing. And my god, all the little things like auto brightness, raise to wake, tap to wake just freaking works. And the vibration motor is honestly just freaking amazing. There is no way I’m buying new phones again from now on. The smartest move for me is to get a two-year old Pixel for like 350-400 US and flash GrapheneOS on it. In 3 years, when I get rid of my 6 Pro, I can get a 9 Pro and use it for like 5 years and it’s going to be better than any budget phones I can get for the same price.
I’m gonna say phones. If you’re getting a new phone and you’re on a budget, always get a refurbished flagship from Samsung/Google (they support those ones for 5-7 years of updates now). They’re often far better than new budget phones for the same price. They are built better, they last longer with far better specs, and are generally far more refined in all aspects.
Use whatever you need, there’s no shame in using Reddit, it’s all just social media anyway =)
Say the line, Bart!
That’s lemmy.world having problems =)
As a fellow lemmy.world user, I gotta say: Jesus Christ y’all are brutal lol
It wouldn’t affect me in the slightest since you’ve defederated from lemmy.world anyway. As for how I think about Beehaw leaving Lemmy as a whole… I think that you have your own visions of what your instance and your communities should be, and if you say Lemmy just isn’t a good fit, then it isn’t. So just do what you have to do, I understand completely and I wish you luck in all your future endeavors.
