  • No. I daily a Galaxy S23. I really like it except for all of Samsungs preinstalled apps that can’t be deleted.

    A couple months back, I bought a refurbished OnePlus 6T (2018) to mess around with Linux and de-Googled Android, and guess what, my phone which is 5 years newer feels virtually no different. It does have a better camera, granted, but personally that doesn’t effect me as I do any serious photography with a proper camera anyway (also, I have to acknowledge that the 6T is slower as it’s not really a flagship phone like the S23, but the 6T feels comparable quality and performance wise to some mid range 2024 phones I’ve used).

    Bottom line, unless we see more Apple M-style chipsets in phones, imo, we’re at a plateau. You could get a $200 5 year old phone and be fine.



  • All I want on this Earth is a FOSS alternative to Niagara launcher. I love a simple icon/list launcher but Niagaras permission requirements are unsettling. Kvaesitso is great, and easily the most polished FOSS launcher I’ve used, but just doesn’t quite hit that mark for me. The closest I’ve found is Plasma Mobile, but I don’t feel like setting up halium just for a launcher.








  • My sister adopted two inbred cats a while back. Two of the sweetest, dumbest things I’ve ever met. One of them, Tony (who we called the sewer monster, among, many, many other names), was stunted, so even at a few years old was no bigger than my current 4 month old kitten. Everything was stunted except for his teeth though, which seemed to be full sized. So he always had these vampire fangs hanging out of his mouth. He had to get them all removed too, which just made him look even weirder. Poor little freak of nature passed last year, miss his gummy little face lol
