  • Motorola Moto Edge (2021)

    Pros: Moto’s classically lite skin with sensible additions that can be turned off if you don’t want them, great battery, great performance, really just a well rounded device.

    Cons: I think I legally have to mention the update cadence, and lack of long-term support, but honestly it doesn’t bother me. Android versions haven’t mattered much past, what, Jelly Bean? Though longer security support would be nice. Also, the camera can be a little soft, but I don’t take a ton of photos so I’m rather ambivalent on it.

    Honestly, I paid a good price for an unlocked device that still holds up amazingly well. I’m very satisfied.


  • I still do, but not in the same capacity.

    With the death of BaconReader I don’t scroll as much, and just from looking at my front page, I imagine it’s not only the summer doldrums that have thinned it out so much. It’s just… harder to find good discussion there, and what I do find is often charged in some way, or very thin. So, I stick around for some of the communities that I’m more active in, but I’m also doing things on Lemmy, and a few other places. Honestly, idk that I’ll ever full drop Reddit in the same way that I did, say, MySpace, mostly in that there’s probably going to be some value somewhere on the site. But, it’s certainly not my main source of idle scrolling or engagement anymore.

    Also, yes, I know I can still make BR work, but at this point I’ll just keep using Reddit in browser with uBlock Origin.
