Indeed it’s not great, tho recently it’s been upgraded to 3 major OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates. For a flagship phone that is still not much, but for me the minimum I’d be happy to invest in.

Of course they also have cheaper phones, which may cover your needs.

For the foreseeable future, Sony is holding on to both the microSD card slot and the 3.5mm headphone jack.

When instances become instruments of propaganda for Putin/Xi/Kim and ban people who expose such propaganda, they fully deserve to be blocked. They’ve become instruments of the enemies of civil society.

It’s the moderation practices of those instances that put them in the corner of “sectarian shit”. The rest of us don’t need to tolerate such toxicity.

Oh, the Tankie Triad is free to moderate as they wish too. And other instances are free to block them. And I am free to warn unsuspecting newcomers.

But the problem is that it’s not an isolated case. You do need to take into account that this is regular practice, as shown in the multitude of cases.

Anyway, either you look into it, and find, like I did, that they are unreasonable and toxic, or you don’t.

Unreasonable moderation (e.g. bans for warning against romanticising the Soviet Union and Stalin) happens on lemmy.ml too. Please have a look at the link I posted in my previous comment.

I’m fine with differing opinions, if done in good faith. I’m not fine with people being nasty (personal attacks, name-calling) and mods being extremely biased (e.g. banning people for criticising Russia, China, North-Korea). I don’t need such toxicity in my life.

While your particular issues is solved, you should be aware that lemmy.ml is one instance of the Tankie Triad, which many other instances have blocked. Unless you like living in tankieland, I would suggest you make an account somewhere else.

Any encyclopedia will reflect the biases of its editors. The best you can do is to have good procedures and fact-checkers.

Not at all. Personally I like to have a shared data partition for my media files. Both OSes can use that just fine, if it’s NTFS or exFAT formatted.

OnlyOffice hides the fact that it’s Russian.

And is it fully compatible? Most Excel-alikes have at least some hiccups.

Firefox has effectively become spyware, and so, yes, it ***should *** be replaced. There are several forks that work well. I’m using Floorp (stupid name, but really nice with some improvements over vanilla Firefox). Zen is another one gaining in popularity. Try them out! Don’t let Mozilla walk away with your data.
