The don't miss the "Popular" of reddit, but the small specialized communities are not present here. I'm still using reddit for r/clashofclans, r/thedivision, r/printedcircuitboards, r/gradschoolmemes, r/phd and the discussion threads on r/movies about the movies I have watched. The community didn't move here.

I'm happy with with mid-range Motorola with mid-range expectations. $300 androids are the best.

Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of a cancer cell.

I'm a Relay user. Getting used to Jerboa, Jerboa is fine. Will try Boost as well. There isn't a swipey app like Relay right now though. Hope dbrady makes his mind up about what Relay for Reddit is doing, then make a Lemmy version.

I use Astonishing Comic reader for reading comics. The comics come from Library Genesis, in.cbr or .cbz formats. Gathering those is quite annoying.

I see a bunch of people saying we should spend our limited money elsewhere. But these missions cost money similar to our Movies for fuck's sake. Spending money on these missions (the money goes to people on the earth, making technical stuff, it doesn't vanish) is better than spending on bread and circus, or even military.

The money amounts are FUCKING TINY. Stop whining so much about a good thing. We are talking about nations, not a single broke household.

The concept of seasons will also get super fucked. Already feeling it in North-East India - weather trends are not very predictable any more.

wsl is great for its uses, but I wouldn't consider it as running linux. Hardware support and privacy are missing when you use wsl, as it just translates linux system calls to windows ones.

My AMD graphics card had atrocious driver support in Windows, and every time windows forced the half-yearly big update on me, my PC would go into a BSOD loop and I would not be able to run windows. It was becoming a massive annoyance and a humongous time waster.

So I switched to Linux Mint. No hardware problems at all. With the graphics card working, I played a video game that literally worked better in Linux than Windows.

Then I bought a new laptop and dual booted different distributions. But every time I log into Windows after doing something in Linux (Fedora KDE spin), my windows clock would get messed up. There are professional softwares I have to use that only work on Windows, so completely switching to linux was not an option, and windows boots up Much faster than linux.

So when I needed some space for an online multiplayer game, I got rid of the dual boot. Now I run everything using WSL2.

Windows remains the default platform for small developer teams, and large video games. So it takes a large incovenience to abandon it. And just a little bit of friction is enough to make me switch back to windows. Sorry if I disappointed you guys.

It's about how much you are spending every year for a device. A $300 device will last you 3 years. A $1000 device will last you 5. Are you willing to spend that much money, is it worth the improvements, usually in camera and support service?

I just buy mid range $300-$400 phones with big batteries and popular hardware, so I can make it last long.

Why do that and tease the big monsters? Keep a low profile.

I've been reading pirated books on my Kindle. Kindle for the hardware, library genesis for the books. I buy the books that I enjoyed, After reading them.

Although my book sources are messed up, you can also read your legitimately bought .epub books on a kindle. Your question, "which e-reader", isn't the right question I think. The question should be, from where are you buying the books legally.

I wonder if I'm getting banned for advocating piracy.. Let me check the rules and stuff..
