This depends a lot on the person. There's plenty of rich people that earned it rather than being born into it, and still live frugally. I work at a big tech company and there's plenty of people with mid to high six figure salaries that still use coupons, keep their phone for 4-5 years, and save as much money as they can. Living well within your means on a higher salary lets you retire early, and for some people that's worth more than any frivolous spending.

I don't understand why people would upgrade their phone every year. It's so wasteful, and there's barely any changes from year to year. Most of the larger upgrades these days are in software rather than hardware.
Elon Musk is so rich that
I've got a Framework 16 and love it. Very good laptop and they have first-class Linux support. It's unfortunate you can't get one!
Failing that, the Lenovo ThinkPad business laptops (the T, X and P series) are good. For work, I've currently got a ThinkPad T1g, and used to have an X1 Extreme. Fedora runs perfectly on both.
Keep in mind that "all" only contains communities that at least one other person on your server is subscribed to. That's fine on a big server like lemmy.world, but on a smaller server you'll miss out on a lot of communities if you just rely on the "all" view.
What are you interested in? Look for communities that relate to your interests.
Keep in mind that Lemmy is decentralized - there's multiple servers, not just one. You can subscribe to communities even if they're on other servers though. There's some browser sites that let you browse communities across multiple servers.

I'd recommend trying "scaled" if you haven't already. It's like "hot" except smaller / less active communities get boosted. I like it because smaller communities get drowned out by the larger ones otherwise.
Good catch on Java! I've never used rust so I wasn't aware that it also allows this. Good to know!
You also don't have to use imports at all in C# code - you can just reference everything absolutely using the full namespace and class name.
That's a big difference compared to the other languages. C# automatically loads the correct assembly (.NET library) on the first call to something contained within it, whereas languages like Python require an import statement because that's what loads the library. I don't think autoloading is very common - C#, PHP, Ruby and Perl use it, but I can't think of other languages that do.
It depends on what you set your swappiness to, too. I think Linux distros still have pretty aggressive defaults that swap more than they probably need to.
Yeah I shut down every day. It boots up fast enough that it's really not an issue.
I'm not sure about Apple, but Samsung has some ridiculously good trade-in offers sometimes. My wife upgraded from an S21 Ultra to an S26 Ultra this year, and got something like $250 for trading in her old phone. About the same as what they were selling for on eBay. I've seen them offer $600+ for last year's model.
