  • Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.

    Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

    xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

    discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

    YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

    Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)




  • Not as bad as you’d think, especially if you buy from a place that tests the devices or know the person selling isn’t hard on their devices.

    If you are going for a model thats a couple of years old, I would recommend going an alternative OS and no google apps. The analytics they run run does make a considerable difference to battery life. You could use something like microg if some banking apps don’t like not having google (the ones I use don’t have this issue YMMV)

    I’d also recommend simplifying how you use you’re device. Ie, don’t have apps that run in the background like Facebook, try and keep to using those sites in the browser.

    Don’t stream stuff over the mobile network(applicable to some tablets), as its a large battery drain. It’s designed to blast a load of data and then go inactive to save battery.

    You could start doing some of these things on your current device and see if you get much of a change in battery life.

    The best device is the one you already have.


  • Gonna give you my honest two cents.

    You come across as a cunt whenever you police who can use neo pronouns based on how they look or act.

    Pronouns are something people should be free to explore.

    Hopefully being able to look into the topic without prejudice will allow people to discover their own queerness and/or empathise with people that do use them.

    Neverind that that is bad faith to argue that hexbear enforces neo pronouns, trad pronouns or anonymous can be used.
