    Is there any collection of such inspirational / wisdom quotes?
    If not, then one should be started.
    And this quote should be added to it.

    I expected the classic “be the change that you wabt to see in the world”, but despite being similar, this one is very good as well.

    I would argue that it’s not a binary option. Whether phone can or can not perform tasks that laptop can. It’s a set / range of different use-cases.
    And as you said, even the glassy rectangle form factor took many use-cases from laptop. If the question is “can phone do all the tasks that laptop can do”, the answer will always be “no”. But if you analyse the use-cases and sort them by percentage, then I would argue that things like “browsing the web”, “editing documents”, “chatting with people” etc. will be the most predominant. And those are the tasks that current phones either can do or at least could do, if the appropriate software was developed for it. Yes, playing modern video games, photo editing, video editing, rendering graphics, programming and other advanced tasks would not be done easily on phone’s limited hardware, and that is why PCs, either laptops or desktops, will remain the device of choice for productivity. But as my initial point stands, the percentage of those use-cases is far outweighed by casual use-cases.

    I think that starting from the beginning on Lemmy is a great opportunity to make news communities make more sense.
    Specifically, !worldnews should not exist. It is a relic from Reddit that implies that !news is not for all news but just for news from some part of the world. In my opinion, there should be effort put into making this community as inactive as possible. As that would be the result of people posting news from all over the world in !news.
