  • I tried the Pixel Fold because I’ve been using their phones since the Nexus days. I went into it very skeptically… Meaning I made sure I was thoroughly aware of the return policy.

    I’m sold. Weight doesn’t bother me and the benefits of being able to swap into a screen with that much real estate for viewing, multitasking, playing games, etc far outweigh a little thickness and weight. It fits in my pocket way better than I imagined and the front screen is actually more functionally sized that my 7 Pro’s due to how damned tall it is! If you’re not hard on your phones (I don’t imagine it takes a beating as well as a regular phone) then I suggest you give it a shot. I’m definitely never going back.
















  • I think the influence on Reddit was deeper than a lot of people have considered. The hivemind was so strong it made it difficult to have decent and useful discussion, even the puns that muddied down nearly every post’s comments achieved that end. The amount of posts I’ve seen of people feeling much more comfortable actually interacting on Lemmy, in my mind, lends weight to how Reddit wasn’t a place for objective dialogue. That’s why it felt so adolescent, like sitting at a high school lunch table.
