I still use my nexus5 as my backup phone. Battery lasts longer than my pixel1.

I expect they’ll take the Russians side of the issue.

I’m still rocking my pixel 5 because it works and the battery lasts me a full day if not more. I should probably look at loading graphene onto it.

Pretty disappointed with Google dropping support of their own products like this.

China: “no”

Conservative government?

IIRC cycling is the lowest joule/km form of transport available.

The CCP straight up kidnapped/stole the Panchen Lama.

I did a course with a chicken feed manufacturing guy the other day. It’s six weeks from chick to slaughter for meat chooks. He said he knew a farm that did six million chicks, six times a year. It just made me sad.

Ideal would be unlimited like PC’s, let people install whatever OS version their phone is capable of running.

BYD are selling like hotcakes in Australia.

I don’t want a folding e-reader, I was a dual eReader with a hinge in the middle that acts like a book.

Using Calibre, they’re much of a muchness. I’ve got a kobo, I mostly eRead on my phone.

Wasn’t it from 4chan trolling? Is it the three fingers and a circle from the index and thumb? https://www.adl.org/resources/article/how-ok-symbol-became-popular-trolling-gesture

Turns out ethical wages and materials cost money. I agree that older tech being more ethical as whatever ‘cost’ is may have was paid by the first owner.

There’s other phones with user replaceable batteries. I looked it up a month or so ago. They’re not as ethical as fairphone, but still better than my drawer of working phones with dead batteries.

Australia is a big country with trucks delivering stuff everywhere which makes for a huge part of out climate contribution. Per capita we’re in the doghouse for emissions standards, fortunately there’s not a lot of us.

G’day mate, yeah us hot regions are getting screwed faster and harder by climate change. One saving grace is we’ve been building places to handle the heat for longer.

It’s not enshittification, but there’s a bunch of crappy rss bots on lemmy reposting low quality content pulled from various feeds. I feel like they’ve been abandoned and left to run creating internet litter around this site. I’ve started blocking them because I’m not against bots as a concept, but poorly written or with bad sources they can get pretty tiring. One of the things I appreciate about diggs $5 account fee is that it’d hopefully limit the amount of trolls/spam on the site.

Tibetans too.
