Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was EDIT this link is an OLD POST that contains my thesis on the state of lemmy and is not the context of the much more recent comment in the screenshot. sorry for any confusion caused by this juxtaposition, my main goal with having this linked is to expose how nothing has improved

          There are few rugged phone options and I’m not fond of the environmental impact of electronics productions. I run my hardware into the ground and frequently buy used.

            I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn’t, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.

            Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.

            I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.

            So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.
