  • If the Zenfone 10 is not available where you live, the base S23 should also be a pretty good contender. I have pretty great battery life on mine (about 10%-15% per hour, (but more often than not its around 10-12%) on regular usage like web browsing videos etc). It will also get basically twice as many updates as the zenfone. I had imported a Zenfone 8 in Canada, and I kind of regret doing that, not only was the phone pretty expensive, but I also had no warranty at all, and the repair support is basically inexistant if you import it. The S23 with a slim case is very one handeable and even though it has a smallerbattery than the zenfone 8, it has basically twice the battery life thanks to the better SoC. I got my S23 for about 700$ CAD with taxes included, so pretty great price IMO



  • Before I read: I am guessing this is about how meta will absolutely kill the fediverse and that nobody will be using it after they federate on activitypub. Will edit after I read

    edit: yup lol, just bad. It assumes XMPP was killed by Google when in fact it is not and still alive. The main big clients still get updates and the main Android client should even get a Material 3 redesign this year! The big Linux client Dino has got a Libadwaita update! But XMPP is dead you tell me. Oh well… Plus in this context, Meta can’t really kill the fediverse since 1. it will just end up exactly in the state we are in today and 2. I like the point Mastodon made, the fediverse already has a almost semi-mainstream brand: Mastodon. That alone could very well save it.

    In the post it talks about the Fediverse winning. Yeah sure, blocking 99% of the users of the fediverse is winning. An anti-social social media. Talk about an attractive for the mainstream people, that will surely NOT push them to centralized platforms like Threads… Plus I am 99% convinced that Threads being federated is just because of the EU laws forcing interoperability between services, so they can say they support open protocols for communication.
