If my CPU looked like that, I’d be a tad worried.

I mean, I dunno how things are on your side of the pond, but here this would preclude a contract that is more expensive for otherwise equal condition, usually meaning a higher total cost of ownership.

I also tend to throw on a custom rom anyway - my four year old midranger is on the current version of Android. More and more devices also tend to get supported for longer, so that’s worth considering.

Also, out of date and brand new have gotten more and more meaningless for smartphones. I’ve got a processor fast enough to run everything I do seamlessly, a nice and sharp display, and a battery that lasts me a day. That’s about the same I’d have with a current flagship.

I mean, it’s your call, and I don’t really care what kind of phone you use, I just don’t think it’s quite as black and white as you paint it.

400 might have been a bit much. You can get a refurbished Pixel 7a for a bit over 300€ around here, and that should last you for quite some years.

I’m currently on a four year old phone that was 400€ back then, though I fear the USB Port might not be long for this world, which would force me to upgrade - it’s soldered and rather hard to replace.

When have you last used a mid range phone? It used to make a huge difference, but over the years, as phones matured, I feel it’s shrunken down more and more. I used to always use flagships, but these days, I don’t see what value they provide over 400-600€ phones in daily usage.

I mean, they’re pretty old planes. I don’t expect them to rip out all the equipment and replace it if it still does the job.

Android now allows you to set how many minutes need to be between two notifications of one App. Helps with such problems.

I also tend to just leave it on vibrate. That way I get notified, but my media keeps playing.

Artsy fartsy pretentiousness can be quite fun.

It sounds like you don’t necessarily like the idea of using a container (I tend to use podman, but most guides are for docker, so that’d probably be easier for you). From my experience, containerising things actually makes things a lot easier, especially in the long run, and getting started is a lot easier than it seems. You can probably find a ready-made guide to set up a plex or jellyfin container on Debian.

Well, I’d say affirmative on 2 and 3, but my parents never married, and even though they lived together for 20 years, I wouldn’t call it stable. Ended when my father cheated on my mother with my nanny, and she then kicked the both of them out to sleep in the guest house till we moved out.

If I know all three versions, I’ll explode?

Your instance is the address behind the @. So yours is lemmy.world, theirs is, fittingly, yiffit.net.

I don’t quite see what the scene is supposed to add here. Also, bad ai art is bad.

Pretty accurate. It’s about an anarchist artist and a communist Kangaroo. The movie is kinda meh though. The book, and especially the original Audiobooks are way better. The first book of the series (the Kangaroo Chronicles) should be available in English, not sure about the rest.

The Kangaroo Chronicles taught us about this.

I don’t have a lot of T-Shirts anymore, but my favourite is probably one from a youth club in eastern Germany with Boss “MyName” (but the wrong spelling) on the back, and the logo of my late father’s long bankrupt company as a sponsor on the front.

It’s funny, but more in a nostalgic way.

It’s not a smiley.

The upper right one looks more like the cat going to warp.

Seems pretty questionable on the usability front. Also looks ugly as sin to me.

Will the next model they reveal be the ID.Lynux?

That’s a whole lot of words to say almost nothing.

I’d go in a different direction - requiring someone to sing your national anthem is wrong. It’s wrong when the U.S. do it, it’s wrong when Canada does, it’s wrong when China does it.

I find national pride hard to understand, but forced displays of national pride are really iffy.
