Not OP but interested in both privacy and high-tech features. My current (stock) pixel 4a device has a worse camera than many other phones, but the software compensates a lot, netting better picture quality overall very often. I'm wondering how much of that is lost when using graphene instead of stock android, do you know?
Similarly with the latest gen pixels having AI features built in, I'm assuming much of that is software that's not as easily installed somewhere else..
I also caved for a pixel (4a) for my last phone, it still has Google's bloatware (can't remove youtube music app for example), but at least it doesn't have Samsung's bloatware in addition.
Still interested where this thread goes in other options though, as it's getting worse in battery life and I'm also looking out for something new.
While interesting, I don't think you understand what wholesome means 😛
Not so much explained, more like summarised.
All of these are intentionally inverted
I agree, all of the apps I've tried have some good and bad points lol
It seems like Liftoff has updated, this doesn't work on Connect (the other app I've been using) and this was the first mp4(?) I've seen embedded on lemmy with working, just probably because it was the first one I saw with the updated Liftoff
Yo this may be the first decently embedded vid I've seen on lemmy, what's the secret?
Not buying one is more sustainable anyway :D and when you do need a new one, you'll know about fairphone and probably have even better options than you do now!
I just looked aroundon their site a bit, and it looks like they are pretty competitively priced by selling upgrades to next gen for 70 dollars (fairphone 3 to 4 core or something)
Yo, you used "casual" instead of "causal" a couple times, which makes for a funny read but not quite right 😅
Good writeup otherwise!
These days gaming on linux is pretty good, lots of games run better than on windows. Typically the only thing that doesn't work (on release, often afterwards it gets fine) is (shitty) DRM/anticheat like denuvo.
