My old $200 Motorola G9 Power phone lasted almost 4 years with only very minor scratches. Obviously in that period I have dropped it a few times getting out of the car, where the phone sometimes work itself out of my pant pocket while I drive, and then it slips out when I get out of the car. But no problem on my previous phones,...
There is nothing premium about glass, that’s marketing lying to you. It’s designed to break easily being smooth and fragile, to make the phones more disposable.

I stopped using Hulu when it introduced ads over a decade ago and never looked back. The stock of that company did really well despite the cable-like inconveniences.
Paid version of Boost. I could mute things without having an account, because I couldn’t decide on which instance to select. Filters didn’t reset either when I finally got an account. Non-account browsing was limited to lemmy.word pov though. I’ll still shop around if an app catches my eye.
Does this happen to anyone else? As soon as I open the post (it’s in the !selfhosted community) I briefly see the contents and then Boost crashes. So it could be a comment causing this or the post itself when fully loaded. I’m using a Pixel 6 with Android 14.
I tried it at two separate times, and both times it would delete my tabs when I add a new device to sync. Maybe I used it wrong, but it just aggravated me to disable it quickly.
I don’t avoid it, but also don’t comment my thoughts and opinions on everything because of narrative rules. I don’t want to be harassed for a difference of opinion.
Also, I used to filter out trump, but stopped because of the upcoming presidential election. I’ll probably filter him out again after the election. I also filter out elon musk.
I read a while back that studios fudge numbers to make it look like they lost money on movies, or make it look like they made less overall. This way they can get tax cuts and not pay royalties until the movie has made money.
Recently came across project 2025, which is a plan to upend the government for trump to run it like a dictatorship. It’s actually frightening to even entertain the possibility. And I’m guessing it’s derived from how putin got to his dictatorship position, because trump really likes putin and met with him too often.
