I’ve had no problems with durability beyond the internal factory screen protector peeling up and needing replacement twice in 3 years. I know thats anecdotal and I case my phones, but I had no durability issues and the hinge felt solid after 3 years, I just felt the battery wasnt up to par anymore, the trade I credit was high, and a phone with moving parts probably won’t last forever.
But I had no real complaints on durability.
As someone on their second foldable, fold 3 now fold 6, the crease is truly, I promise you, a non issue. Unless you’re doing detained drawing with the S-pen, not my use case, it has no meaningful effect on the experience. For single person consumption, you almost have to consciously try to position it in a way that’s visible when watching a video, for example.
I’d actually miss the crease, as it gives the screen a kind of magic book-esque quality. The biggest problem with foldables in my experience is the odd aspect ratio universal to all of them, something a tri fold design may actually mitigate.
I’d rather have the ugly truth than pretty lies.
It would be a weird thing to photoshop and lie about given the inevitable scrutiny.
I mean, our owner class is sinking stupid amounts of money into it.
Though I promise you that is one product, whether it’s a drug that costs pennies to manufacturer, or clone replacement body/organ vats, that they won’t allow to fall into the reach of the bottom 99% of us mortals.
Is there anyone who doesn’t see people like Zuck, Musk, and Bezos as hardcore wannabe gods?
I freely admit I’m a broken record on the topics I’m passionate about. Man-made climate change being one of them.
My post history on all my accounts is testament to this.
That’s another account I have yes, but not the one I was referring to.
My memory is fine, this isn’t the same account.
I was banned from the LW comics sub because there was a comic about climate change being real, and I said something along the lines of having far more sympathy for non-human life suffering the hostile climate we’re creating because we’re doing it eyes wide open out of reckless greed , which according to that mod is “ecofascist rhetoric,” which I thought was funny because I wasn’t advocating doing… anything. Saying our species is more culpable for climate change than the other animals also suffering it was wrongthink that day.
That’s the paradox of power in any form, the vast majority who pursue it, from politicians, to police, to mods, usually sought that power with a biased agenda, maybe not even consciously, but still. Power corrupts, bans for wrongthink aren’t avoidable with people in charge and no additional layers of active monitoring/auditing which isn’t really tenable on a volunteer basis.
Fuck China’s and Fuck Russia’s elite.
That said, reasonable is in the eye of the beholder, and I see capitalism’s apologists at this late hour (I’m suffering a reckless capitalist growth/metastasis caused heat dome as we speak along with 10s of millions of other Americans) as just as unreasonable as you see socialism proponents.
Modding abuse destroys communities, and that’s wrong. But I don’t demand all the communities I frequent spend their days agreeing with me, nor do I walk away unless the entire ethos/subject of the sub is to be against what I’m for. By that I mean, I can generally enjoy talking about a movie, for example, with a capitalism proponent because it isn’t generally centrally relevant to the topic.
The point of discourse is discourse. An AI chatbot will be better at feeding one’s confirmation bias than any community made up of people ever can be.
As a child, I came to consider 40 to be basically dead and pointless, a withered husk clinging to life and a sense of relevance like the flagpole of a sinking ship.
As someone about to hit that mark, I still haven’t seen any new information that changes my opinion on that.
Our cognitive ability peaks around our late 20s. We humans love to delude ourselves about our mortality with comforting thoughts like “well my experience makes up for it, herp derp,” but that’s just something to help us sleep at night as we degrade at an ever accelerating rate.
I understand why they kill us.
In addition to destroying their habitats for strip malls, we rope them into entirely too many of our rhetorical infighting arguments.
