I usually intuitively understand slovene text when reading it. It just makes reading books more boring - so I read more English books (well I can also do it with English text, but not as good).

It also infuriates some people I read to - since I just skim trough the boring parts, which then sound like groups of random letters.

Eh, they just switched the right-wingers to a slightly less corrupt one who used to be a member of the same party.

Of we ignore the slightly chauvinistic view on autistics this is relatively informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Pj0Z2__SI

"Autistics are incompetent shouldn't work in any position requiring communication." - the video creator.

Mine is decent if I'm not drunk driving. Recently missed an exit on the highway and had to drive another 5km. Also almost killed myself three times.

Not doing that again.

I like that the fediverse is mostly a safe space for all sorts of minorities (especially queer/trans people and autistics). I'm pretty happy not having facists call me retarded and/or treat me like an idiot for being autistic and/or having leftist opinions (although I suspect this still happens here).

By becoming mainstream, the platform will be flooded with nationalist propaganda and hate speech.

Also: There's still some fuckery around Lemmy.world and the communist instances. Just let people have political ideology. They aren't harming anyone.

on a €150 Redmi shitbox and I don’t have any trouble opening websites. I don’t even look at processing power when picking a phone, all I need is headphone jack, fingerprint unlock, e-sim: whoop, filtered

Well, the old Redmi (from early 2017 - almost 10 years - if it had a slightly better CPU, it would have been fine - static websites run tolerable, but I do need web-apps relatively often) still fully works (after replacing the battery) - so the (edit: new) phone will probably last at least 10 years, but will it do things I need decently fast - fuck knows, it will probably be way better than the lowest performance device I could find.

I used the Redmi since around 2022, but it was used by my dad since 2017. So it could be relatively fine this time.

Also the phone:

They won't, since they really don't like the graphene guys and are in bed with their competitors who really enjoy harassing them.

Eh, If you're unstupid enough to be here, you're unstupid enough to use ADB to install apks.

Well, if you want something with good cameras and/or a future-proofed CPU for the next 10+ years, you can't buy a phone with "legacy" features. That's why I was holding onto my Redmi 4X until recently. Now I have a Redmi K90 without a headphone connector, SDcard slot or an unlockable bootloader - because capitalism. At least it could run a Browser decently - unlike the older one.

My plan is to use the new phone for the next 10 - 12 years (or more if I can still use a web browser decently). Could a ~150€ Redmi shitbox do this? - From my experience: if you like waiting 10 mins for a simple website to load.

At least throwing money at the problem mitigates it somewhat.

This was my annoyed rant. Enjoy.

Also: The new phone doesn't even support analog audio output (for some stupid reason) and I have to buy a 10€ DAC to have a decent wired audio. Spending money makes you spend more money. Great.

Yes, the abused will continue abusing. - The logical conclusion, so you don't have to help people.

Vapes work by vaporising the liquid using a metal (usually leaded) coil (Edit: which heats up and cools down rapidly and many times). While cigarettes also contain lead (like everything else), it isn't nearly as bad.

Quebec is one of the most nationalist countries/states. They literally don't like people speaking the most popular language in the world.

Also: they're trying to etnocide autistics by the obligatory ABA (gay conversion therapy but for a different minority). What a great idea...
