It's also a naturally busy time for living organisms in the northern hemisphere. I've just got things going on, man.

The only reason I still live in Ohio. My salary is almost double the median income, and I'm still just barely staying out of the paycheck to paycheck life while paying my spouses way through school. I wouldn't have been able to afford a house anywhere else with just my income and maintain what semblance of a life we do have.

The perks of living in the decaying rust belt I guess.

I'm very conflicted about this. On one hand, it's kind of bullshit to take this level of action on something that can be handled on a case-by-case basis, when the need arises.

On the other hand, I'd prefer to see Lemmy avoid the reputation that Mastodon has garnered with the activities that are vastly under moderated there. With the size that some instances are reaching obviously there needs to be a level of discretion towards the content you will allow.

It's, however, a slippery slope from protecting the community to accepting bribes for exclusive access to your user base.

"Due to moral objections, we've decided to block this meme community. However here's an alternative that will show you advertisements disguised as funny memes! They even have most of the same content as the old one! Enjoy!"

Don't let that become reality.

Totally forgot about the complete back replacements like that! I'll take 5. . Week long battery life here I come.

Honestly, I'm all for it if it means bringing back ridiculously sized phone batteries with huge bumps that can act as a finger shelf. My note 2 with a 4200mah battery was a beast in 2013.

I always thought it'd be more of a feature phone type os. Couldn't compete with what Android had to offer to the mainstream Western market at the time using primarily HTML, but I'm glad to find out that is what it turned into.

Decided to join Lemmy after having issues with the Reddit app and Relay not getting along. Facebook groups as of late have been flaming garbage. Twitter is now an.. X. I'm not touching Reddit again unless Google sends me there. Sync seems to do the job quite well.

I've tried Mastodon before. It just wasn't my cuppa. This is my new public facing social home I think.

You're not wrong. I was so desperate to get online as a kid I was pirating my neighbor's internet on my Nintendo DS with a borrowed copy of the browser, because that was the only hardware I had with wifi access lmao.

I remember this feature being removed around Android 9 or 10ish. Possibly. However, you could always use Tasker. Someone even built a convenient profile you can import.
