If I ever come across anyone in the wild who actually has one I’ll be sure to warn them not to root their phone.

There’s a bunch of different looks to try, personally a.lemmy.world has been my favorite so far.

This is the way.

I haven’t been able to participate because mine is stuck at authenticating, but I am a void user so it’s probably for the best.

Reddit for me was a place to develop niche hobbies and talk about them with other people without having to overwhelm the people around me with opinions on pottery or which is the clackiest keyboard imaginable.

Some I’ve been listening to lately:

• Hard Fork - podcast about technology and science from the NYTimes that does a pretty good job of being varied and interesting.
• Search Engine - newer podcast by PJ Vogt from Reply All about understanding weird or poorly understood topics.
• Darknet Diaries - IT security stories, hacking, and red vs blue team defense of infrastructure.
• Behind the Bastards - Stories about terrible people and their effect on society. Start with the Dulles Brothers or Kissinger.
• Mother Country Radicals - Limited series about key members of the Weather Underground during the civil rights era.

Lack of tags or a working search feature broke it for me, I use twitter for news not to see quips from influencers I’ve never heard of. I might check it out again when it’s something other than marginally famous internet celebrities screaming into an empty void.

At least the balanced the price of the mouse with how terrible it would be to use as a daily driver.

I’ve gotten used to holding onto my phones longer and skipping several phone releases at a time (Nexus 6 > Pixel 2 XL > Pixel 6 XL) and I don’t really feel like I can continue to do that with a foldable based on the durability questions from the main screen. The prospect of a smaller device in my pocket is the big factor in wanting one and every time a new flip device comes out I find myself doing the same research hoping there is a magic bullet that solves the screen durability or de-lamination issues.

I have to carry two phones due to my job and have been considering a flip to shrink the overall footprint of devices in my pockets. I can’t tell if the screen protector issues on previous models is overblown or not, but it feels like a real love it or hate it device.
