All I hear is that those in power are all evil because they refuse to help the homeless. In fact both sides in government work actively to attack the homeless.

Attacks against the homeless are perpetrated by evil people, its just the people you voted for are also evil

History Matters is my personal favorite

Depends on the game. The more competitive, the more toxic it tends to be.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to come off as aggressive, that wasn’t my intention.

Speed has never really been something I cared a lot about. I’ve always been kinda used to things being at least a little slow. Nowadays the only thing I really care about speed with is load times while playing a game. But boot up times I have a lot more patience for. With how technology has become nowadays, I’ve come to value things like being opensource, durability, reliability, and adaptability more than processing power, because it feels like everything is built to become expensive copy and paste waste. I hate having to buy a new phone every two years or so cause the battery degrades too much, or having to repair an expensive screen when a radio with physical buttons did the job better and was easier and cheaper to fix, or streaming services losing media I am paying for to the void cause they didn’t want to renew the license and no one else wants to pick it up. All these sorts of problems have made me choose older, slower, but usually more reliable solutions. Cars with traditional radios, physical media or downloads over streaming, etc.

Again sorry for if the previous comment came off as aggressive. I wont deny my first draft of it started off that way cause I was being unreasonable, but I tried to remove it and clearly failed. I also do not mean for this one to come off as aggressive either, so please dont interpret as such

True, yeah. My needs for a phone I feel seem to be fairly old fashioned for the modern phone industry. Unfortunately the Xcover is the only series of phone that meets (most of) my needs in a phone that I have found.

The performance differences feel like nothing. The only thing I have actually noticed is the camera quality being worse, and I don’t take many photos. I value durability and longitivity over what I see as minor hardware improvements. For the most part I use my phone as a phone. I watch youtube on it, message people, and listen to music. I’m not trying to game on it, thats what I have a computer for. So these hardware improvements they are constantly pushing (while removing valuable features) just doesnt feel worth it to me. But it is a to each their own. I just wish there was a bigger market catering to my needs rather than the whole industry striving to turn phones into all in one devices while removing quality of life features like aux cords, physical buttons, and replaceable batteries.

Its Samsung’s “rugged” phone. They certainly don’t advertise it at all. Its a shame because it is a really nice phone (poor camera though but I dont care about that). Probably cause it doesnt fit into the mainstream market of expensive (cheaper than their mainline stuff), disposable (this has a replaceable battery which prolongs its longitivity), and minimalist (still has its aux port and more than just a power and volume buttons).

Ps. They are coming out with a new one, the Xcover 7. It might have already come out actually.

My issue is no one has developed a custom OS for my phone. Suprising considering it seems like the kind of phone FOSS users would love. A modern smart phone with an aux cord and replaceable battery still. Samsung Galaxy XCover 6 Pro for anyone interested.

I moved off of Nobara to Kubuntu LTS. Tried out Mint and Ubuntu before hand and gotta say, I am loving Kubuntu. I am hoping it is the last time I have to distro hop

I am so glad I swapped to downloading my music rather than streaming. Fuck Spotify and every other streaming service. Owning my music is more important to me than any level of “convenience” those services pretend to offer

I really like bologna. I’ll eat it by itself fresh outta the fridge as a snack sometimes.

Not illegal, just unethical. You effectively stole people’s art and are profitting off of it. Considering AI is being used to take jobs from artists and writers by stealing their work, you are a scab

That’s what the cover is for. The cover is your first impression of a book.

The only good clanker is a dead clanker

I think followers and chat are a good idea because I could follow my friends and share memes directly to them through Lemmy rather than have to download and share it externally. But besides that yeah

Copyright is stupid, but besides that I agree. We should be developing our own identity, not trying to copy reddit

Its not about them being labelled communist, all that matters to them is if they are against the west. Cause apparently only the west can be imperialist

Bro this is just rape…
