Drew Got No Clue

Well you could take the bus / tram / subway too.

Not really answering your question, but FSF’s criteria here are straight up insane to me. Apparently, just mentioning “open source” is unethical, as well as ever letting anyone write “Linux” instead of “GNU/Linux”.

I’m glad you mentioned SimpleX. I think it’s a really cool and promising idea, yet hardly anyone knows about it :(

A bit different, but is anyone using SimpleX?

That’s sort of… poetic in a messed up way.

I think it’s almost only because of an increasing amount of people using phones as their main multimedia and productivity device, hence the need for larger screens.

Such a shame, because battery aside (which is supposedly better in the 13), it’s still the most enjoyable phone I’ve had in a very long time. The size is extremely convenient for me and I believe iOS works best at this display size; even the home screen on an iPhone Pro Max shows the same amount of information as my Mini and likewise for the status bar (except for the models with a “Dynamic Island”).

Memmy is also a promising alternative, but it’s even newer than Mlem, although development is going very fast.

You mentioned MagSafe, so I assume you use an iPhone. I have an iPhone 12 mini and the battery life is awful. I love the phone, but I cannot recommend it to power users due to the battery life (the 13 mini should be significantly better, but I cannot confirm).

I’ve owned it for a bit over 2 years and I have 80% battery health, and I need to charge it multiple times per day. The battery is small and due to the form factor / design, it heats up quickly, further degrading the battery, especially if charging >5W.

I’m not sure I understand your question. Could you please clarify?

As someone in a scientific field, I really appreciate an actual paper making it to the front page! Thanks for posting! (also my very first comment on my beehaw 😎)
