  • Instead of going fedi I’m going minimal.

    Reddit -> Lemmy, with the caveat that time spent on here is minimal, to be reviewed at a later date.

    xitter -> nothing, nitter.net if I want to read a xeet linked by another resource. Ultimately for me micro blogging social media is a time suck with little return.

    discord -> still on it for a few different reasons, not sure if I’ll set up matrix just to do a bridge, privacy and minimalism are clashing here.

    YouTube -> nothing, invidious if I want to watch yt content. Short or low quality video content is another time suck, try and keep video streaming to a minimum for environmental and mental health reasons.

    Netflix and others -> the high seas (it is decentralised)




  • Not as bad as you’d think, especially if you buy from a place that tests the devices or know the person selling isn’t hard on their devices.

    If you are going for a model thats a couple of years old, I would recommend going an alternative OS and no google apps. The analytics they run run does make a considerable difference to battery life. You could use something like microg if some banking apps don’t like not having google (the ones I use don’t have this issue YMMV)

    I’d also recommend simplifying how you use you’re device. Ie, don’t have apps that run in the background like Facebook, try and keep to using those sites in the browser.

    Don’t stream stuff over the mobile network(applicable to some tablets), as its a large battery drain. It’s designed to blast a load of data and then go inactive to save battery.

    You could start doing some of these things on your current device and see if you get much of a change in battery life.

    The best device is the one you already have.






  • And you’re a bootlicking fool who’s argument doesn’t even hold true to what we’ve seen in Israel.

    Even after what Israel and western media have made out to be the biggest horror of our time, Israelis are still risking police violence and imprisonment to protest the injustice of Israels actions.

    I’d rather preserve my rights because if I lose my rights, I can do jack shit for anyone else.

    You might as well have lost them for as much good as you are doing for anyone else.

    I support liberation you just support peace so you can sleep at night.

    There can not be peace without liberation and violence is a tool to be used when every peaceful method has failed.

    Violence got Irish Catholics self determination and equality in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

    Violence got the civil rights movement in America to where it is now.

    Violence keeps neo-nazis underground in a lot of places.

    Resistance to oppression is not an end, it’s not even a means to an end. It’s a right enshrined by international law.
