But not everyone does right? I feel like you have to be a fairly big/popular channel to have sponsors. I’m pretty sure smaller channels can only depend on ad revenue.

I would hate it if I was just given a keyboard and told that this is all you can use, take it or leave it. I need the options.

Not the best take. The apps still need to continue to be developed, adding new features and improvements along the way. That’s the cost of development. Not everything is just the cost of infrastructure. By that logic, McDonald’s workers shouldn’t be paid because it’s not their buns and patties, etc.

It’ll probably have a one time fee option. The dev must know that not everyone will want to pay a subscription. I paid for removing ads on Sync for Reddit and I’ll happily do it again, so hopefully there will be an option of just removing ads. I don’t use either Lemmy or Reddit enough to justify paying a subscription, even though I really respect the dev.

I’ve had several phones under $200 over the years. One thing’s been common. The stuff that sucks is the stuff that’s not clear from the specs. It’s the fact that something or the other just doesn’t work that well. I’ve had bad proximity sensors, bad gps, rather poor ram management (still there on my more expensive Samsung). It’s not the chip or the cameras that bother me, it’s the stuff like the quality of the sensors, wifi, bluetooth etc. After my last $200 phone, I bought a Samsung galaxy s20 FE 1.5 years after it launched. Soooooo much better than anything I’ve had in terms of consistency and not letting me down on the daily. So my motto is going to be old flagship, rather than new mid-ranger. And if I can afford it, new flagship I guess.

Of course they have the choice. But be realistic. There is ALWAYS someone willing to do something for money. Not everyone thinks the same way as you do.

The next person would do it then. I don’t see that as a solution.

Fair enough, those are good points.

Weren’t the specs of the fairphone 4 pretty awful for the price?

Yeah, no idea. I’ve never even thought about it because no one cares about all that in India (at least usually).

Is travelling to another country with pirated movies an issue?

Damn, that’s a hot take lmao. Also a shit one imo but eh who cares about my opinion.

I’m curious enough to try it. I’ll ditch it if the first two episodes are terrible, and continue watching if it’s either good or fun-bad.

I could never do that lol. I barely care enough to talk to people and even I’d feel a little alone/I don’t like inconveniencing people. I do use Telegram for some people, but Signal is just used by nobody I know.

WhatsApp with most people (because that’s what everyone uses), Telegram with the people I talk to a lot (a few college friends and my parents). Insta here and there, but that’s mostly for people to send me reels, I don’t really use the app for anything else. I’ve not used Facebook or the messenger for many years.

I switch between 60Hz and 120Hz pretty often. And while I do notice a huge difference, it’s not for long and I get used to it.

I’m sure some people hover between them. The only reason I still go on reddit sometimes is that Infinity is still working. I think it would go to almost 0 if I genuinely had to use the official app.

Huh, it works just fine for me. I have Samsung galaxy buds 2 pro. I don’t use it with my laptop often, but it’s seamless when I do.

Oh. I haven’t used it much today so I guess I can’t know.

Huh, hot never seems to show me old posts. It’s not something that should be app specific, right?
