Lemmy is a worse platform for women than Reddit was EDIT this link is an OLD POST that contains my thesis on the state of lemmy and is not the context of the much more recent comment in the screenshot. sorry for any confusion caused by this juxtaposition, my main goal with having this linked is to expose how nothing has improved

    I’m suspicious. I’d like to know other comments that person has made. They might be a troll and that comment has nothing to do with the topic it’s in.

    Also, good work Google AI. /s

    edit: yeah, I can’t find the source of that comment.

        That whole chain is a dumpster fire.

          lol yea. there’s a few reasons you didn’t find it:

          1. you used search engine instead of your instance’s search
          2. you transcribed the comment wrong

            In my defense, I only shared that screenshot because of the blisteringly stupid AI summary. I fixed my transcribe when I got to a real computer, tried several search engines and the instance I was on and got nothing. I assumed at the time that the comment was from another instance and it was taking a bit for the search back end to update.

        Looks like 10. It’s a Kyocera DuraForce Pro 2.

          Huh. Only ever used their printers and their ceramic knives.

          Old Android is surprisingly … nostalgic.

            There are few rugged phone options and I’m not fond of the environmental impact of electronics productions. I run my hardware into the ground and frequently buy used.

              I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn’t, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.

              Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.

              I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.

              So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.
