I understand your concern, but assuming someone looks over all of that, there isn’t something genuinely exciting about it.
Not to mention the terrible traffic it is in now due to the Russia- Ukraine war, other unstable countries within the region, the terrible public transport system Dubai has anyway.
Honestly speaking, Dubai.
Not because of slavery, poop trucks, questionable government policies, etc.
The real reason to me is that it does not offer anything traditional or historical. Yes it has some five start restaurants. Yes it has some big malls. Yes you can do stuff like desert driving or hot air balloons. These are all stuff that could be done anywhere else for cheaper.
File level access to files. I would love to have the option of moving files in folders and connecting it to a PC to drag and drop files.
True multi tasking.
Ability to install apps from other sources.
Ask a Ninja.
Honestly, one month of a service like Netflix or Disney. I’m against these services but I feel $15 will give great value for a month.
Honestly, I root for lemmy and use it daily. However, Reddit still wins on pure content and niche communities.
Mine would be king of fighters 99. It’s on ps1 though.
I use aegis as my 2fa app. I backup the 2fa seeds in my keepass file.
Get yourself the Lenovo. They are good.
Working from Home is a must, and spending quality time with the loved ones.
Climbing the corporate ladder isn’t my priority now anymore. I am more interested in work that pays for my hobbies and spending time with my loved ones.
That’s true. There are a lot of fringe types of users here that aren’t interesting (weed, curries, conspiracy stuff, etc). General average Joe discussions aren’t much here tbh.
I do enjoy privacy and Foss discussions, but another issue here is that alot of posts are either reposts by users, or bots. You can check that same post on Reddit and you will see a lot of comments around it. Some positive and others negative but still higher in numbers.
Consolidation is another thing. There are many communities that are similar on different instances, firefox for example.
Would be nice if lemmy supports something like multi Reddit with the option of hiding duplicate posts.
Content diversity seems like it slowed down. Back when the Reddit exodus happened about of niche communities were created. A lot of them have been abandoned now.
Lemony is still good as it’s tech and privacy centric (which I love). But the excess of US related news, furry stuff, commie/cappie arguments are everywhere. You can always block communities and instances but it gets tiring after some time.
I would keep a small dumb phone as a family phone for when kids go on trips and sleep overs. They get a personal smartphone at around the age of 16 or 18.
Try this and see if it works for you.
Bottom of the phone.
I tend to mount my phone in my car and prefer if the jack is at the bottom.
I’ve seen a video of YouTuber who built a custom cabinet just to hold the phones he reviews. Sorry can’t remember his name.
They also go through frequent battery checks just to make sure none of them puffs.
Once I saw that it wasn’t open. Felt like going from one site that is controlled by a single person to another closed one controlled by a single person again.
Engagement.
Users tend to like or dislike your comments and posts more, and post comments and reply back more often.
Compared to the millions of users on Reddit, I get more interaction on lemmy.
My advice would be to look into emulators. Old school games do not have any micro transactions and are complete. Plus there is a vast library of consoles and games to go through.
