I'll give it a read over tea later. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Been wanting a reto handheld for quote some time ever since the miyoo mini v1 days years ago. Never have bought one before. Idk if I want a big capable versatile machine or small easy to pocket little doodad.

I used to have a GBA as a kid and a NSDL as a college kid.

Dunno where I'm going with this comment, I'm just rambling now lol

If android is truly getting locked down, I'll just get the cheapest smartphone I can get because everything here in my country needs their own smartphone app for their own 2FA and they all want Play Integrity. It's getting really annoying to bypass all these asinine roadblocks on my fucking phone.

Banks and online shopping apps can get bent policing my phone.

And I'll just carry a small Linux laptop to do all my other internet and computing needs. Shit's fucked up. And carry a Faraday bag just for the phone.

Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It's middle of the score; it's average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.

But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat's eyes lol

When the cybertruck was first announced, I actually appreciated how different it looked

Yeah, same here. I usually like weird looking forms for ordinary objects. The cybertruck counts.

Even disregarding the emotional association to Musk, which is nigh impossible, the engineering of the car makes it suck to hell, because that's all Musk's decision he forced.

hardcore datahoarders are something else. And a boon when they share it

It seems to be rolling out region by region I reckon. I'm in the south east Asia and I don't get asked to log in yet.

catbox.moe works too. Although files uploaded anonymously that have not had a download/hit in over 2 years will be removed from Catbox.. which is weird that was not the default since the beginning considering they're not like other image hosting sites size and funding.

I imagine authors will go to great lengths to prove their works to be authentically human

artists (the drawing kind) have been posting timelapse of them drawing art for quite some time. It has since increased when AI sloperators flooded the field. But now I've heard some aren't even going to post them anymore, since the sloperators are training on those to make fake timelapse.

people are willing/able to be open and empathetic

personally, I've been bitten too many times being open to random people and getting vitriol back. Well that may be because at the height of my online activities were in reddit, just at the right moment when it started gaining mass traction and getting all sorts of assholes.

being here in lemmy/piefed (can we settle on calling it threadiverse yet?) is of course a nice breath of fresh air.

Yep, I have encountered mastodon and the like posts here on Lemmy etc. Somehow a lot of them show up in !firefox@fedia.io

Well actually being in fedia.io it would makes sense, since fedia being mbin supports threaded posts and microblog posts.

Somewhat but also not. I tried ObtainX when obtainium was still using the old UI and I got along fine on obtainx. Obtainx does use more of the expressive material design language but it makes sense to me

But somehow when obtainium changed to this new UI I just can't get my head around it. So weird.

At least threaded comments like on here and reddit is a lot easier to follow than on forum sites.

Although I do look back in warm nostalgia quoting forum posts as I back read 3 pages of them when I got back to a forum topic after 3 days. Hell, sometimes even just a few hours if it's a hot topic. I wouldn't dream of doing it nowadays though.
