Go used. Your experience used or refurbished will be much better than a new phone at that price point.
2 ago I got a OnePlus 8 Refurb from Amazon with all of it's protections for $300. It just got it's last Android update, but has a very active ROM scene, so I potentially have another 2 years out of this.
Even buying this exact phone, and I'm sure you can do better, you'll have a better experience than a new sub $200 phone. I've seen people buy new Samsung J series phones and barely be able to use them.
Just don't get a branded phone. Usually can't ROM them and they only work on the one carrier
for Spotify, i can just download a Spotify premium APK. i know i can't do anything for tidal, as HiFi and HiFi+ are server side. anything for Deezer or qobuz? basically I'm just looking for HiFi audio
Privacy is tricky. I've seen complaints that anything you post stays forever. But honestly, is that what you consider private?
Do you think it's more private to make and delete posts than to just use a VPN and an anonymous account? Having the ability to delete posts doesn't help your privacy at all. At least there's no advertisers being sold all our data.
And the chat thing really needs fixed. But for quick one-off messages, it's fine. Maybe just too exchange secured accounts
I'm trying to start out self-hosting and was looking for some good servers. I have a budget of ~100 USD and am in the US. I was initially going to get some type of raspberry pi but they seem to always be sold out here
My first server was a Lenovo Thinkpad T420. It was given to me for free from my job. It did great. Built in screen, mouse/keyboard, and a built in UPS. Eventually I upgraded my server, and my new one has none of those.
If you decide to try one out, please respond here or make a post. I don't drive more than 2 or 3 times a month, but I really want something like this set up.
I'm in a dilemma, I think ownership of media is important, but the convenience of Spotify and the algorithm of new music that it suggests has helped me find amazing artists that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise....
Mostly, I've downloaded all my music and stream through Navidrome. But I'll use above in a pinch.
Personal library is 0 compromise, except for the convenience. There are plenty of songs in my library that aren't on Spotify or any other. All my music is FLAC. Uncensorable. I get star ratings and favorites.
I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle....
What was fun as a kid was battling. My friend and I would hang out for a day, start a run of Pokemon emerald or diamond/pearl, and meet back the next weekend to battle

Can someone explain private trackers like I’m 5?
Why would I want to use them? Are they better than public trackers? Any good ones for anime?
what was the last game you beat?
Curious what yall are playing and if im the only one who can't complete games :p
Is streaming or having your own music library better?
