I can agree with the community sentiment. Feels like we skimmed off the top layer of nerds from Reddit and they’re all ornery while trying to adapt to their new environment. I say that as one of them, lol.

I get that this is a relatively new frontier, but jeezaloo there are a lot of negative nellies around. “It’s the internet, block/ignore them” yadda yadda, sure, but it just feels like a more sizable amount of people who would close stackoverflow threads as “duplicate” and link to a thread that doesn’t answer the original poster’s question, ya feel me? Like, those kinds of Redditors.

I get that “remember the human” is an old, cringey netiquette, but I wish more folks on here would take that to heart. Hard to sell Lemmy as a viable alternative when folks treat people like they’re beneath them.

On the bright side, you can listen to that zen music for eternity.

You can tell it’s made the rounds because it has a reaction image nearly the size of the image itself shoved onto the bottom superfluously

only the finest CRT for the finest kino

Thank you. I could kiss you like a mother.

Alright, is there some super-populated center for enthusiast nerds who make Androids less 1984 and shit? Like, the fdroid sub or something? I’m still on the ol’ Tim Cooker but when this thing croaks I’m switching teams. I don’t need Google getting sloppy seconds, though.

I mean, feels like everyone has a phone these days. Surely some niche sect of Internet nerds has a cutting edge solution for this shit.

Is it just GrapheneOS with FDroid apps? What about Google Play Store apps, can I use those without getting fucked? Can I retain nearly every stock feature on an Android without selling my soul to Google? Which Android phone should I buy if I want things to run smoothly with the modifications I need to make? (Are those new touch flip-phones on the menu? Are they more durable now? I fantasize about DS emulation, and slapping my phone together to hang up on people. I just remember hearing all about the highly scratch-able screens and hinge problems.)

Use RES, it has built-in dark mode support in its many, many settings. Highly recommend.

You’re on Lemmy, so everyone and their mother is going to scream “Why are you using Reddit?!”

Instead, I’ll scream “Why are you using New Reddit?!”

New Reddit, along with generally sucking ass, hates automatically expanding comments. Old Reddit less so.

Hell, I’d wager a chunk of those Userscripts are for old Reddit, too.

Change any www.reddit.com url to old.reddit.com and enjoy the old non-sucky UI, complete with comment threads that aren’t automatically collapsed after one reply.

You can make Reddit automatically change to the old design via a user script, extension, or account setting. I’ll leave that exercise for the reader, though.

Enjoy browsing through support threads easier!

If you add before:2026 to any YT search it removes all the “People also Watched:” stuff.

Ohh. My bad.

Tech influencer folks predict a 2026 drop for the second revision, so if you can wait that long (or trust these predictions they’re making) I’d wait.

I feel like people have gotten Stockholm syndrome from phones with new generations every year.

Current hardware still works fine. If you have frame troubles, lower settings and mess with your battery/performance profiles.

Do not solve the problem by offering to give companies another 500 of your dollars.

(If you’re playing your Deck at home and have a beefy PC, though, you can always stream from your PC to your deck for better performance! On most networks, there’s virtually 0 latency! Highly recommend.)

Isn’t this the guy who boofed a monster energy popsicle to see if it caffeinated him? Or was that a different post?
