  • The back accessories are pretty neat. I like the finger loop, and I’m pretty sure they’ve published the files for making your own 3D printed versions of the backplate.
    “But hotswappable battery”
    Yeah, I guess missing that feature is bit unfortunate, but the reasoning of being able to offer more capacity in the (soft case?) design makes sense. The hardcase of the hotswap battery reduces internal capacity. And it’s still easily replaceable enough when the time does come.

    Custom ROMs I’ve already seen mentioned elsewhere, them offering to ship you e/OS/ directly from their store should be proof enough of their commitment.

    The “moments” slider is (somewhat) programmable. As alternatives to Moments they offer DND, Flight Mode, Torch, Dark/Light mode, and battery saver.

    It may not offer a dual SIM tray, but it does offer dual SIM through the use of eSIMs. Which, not ideal, but it’s there.

    The things I personally miss on the FP6 are HD haptics, the basic rumble motor has brought me back in time in a way I would not have preferred. Speaker quality could be better too. As could the cameras, but those were a sacrifice I was prepared to make.

    My bigger complaints are about stock Android itself; Samsung offers so many nice tools to customise the phone to your liking. Base Android is so limited by comparison. And Samsung Gallery is just the best.

    I’unno, I would’ve assumed there’d be some discussion on it. I only come to 196 every so often and don’t otherwise visit Lemmy so I’d find it hard to do a vibe check.

    Anyway, thanks for the slightly more insightful response, over “oh, .world, lmao”

    suck googles dick! For artists!

    I’m not telling you to do that; I’m saying your initial statement is wrong.

    I wouldn’t have been on Lemmy if it wasn’t for moving away from big tech.
    But now it seems people take issue with that as well because I went with the basic bitch option when signing up, or did something horrific happen with .world whilst I was keeping away from social media in general?

    Very cool. I love discrimination.

    I did want to say one more thing, though, but feel free to ignore.

    If you’d said something like “a one time donation supports a creator more than years of Premium ever would”, I would not have argued. But what you are saying is plainly false.

    I suppose that is so; but if you’d ask them whether they’d also rather have the ad revenue, I would assume most of them would say yes.

    Ah, yes. Make fun of me for signing up with some domain when I was still clueless about Lemmy. Thanks. Really appreciate the generalisation.

    YouTube has a revenue split with it’s creators? Ads (and therefore Premium) are often a good part of a creator’s income?

    It may not support them by a lot, but it supports them infinitely more than blocking all ads.











  • “We’re scaling back in crowded market segments and instead focussing on AI! A totally not crowded segment.”

    I would’ve actually been interested in Mozilla’s VPN/Footprint scrubbing services as a “trustworthy” company, but they’re not even available here yet and by the sound of it never will. Now instead they’ll be playing catch-up in another market.

    It’s difficult to remain excited with news like this, but I want there to be alternatives to Chromium so I’ll keep using Firefox.
