Ah, the good old days of giving Samsung devices a second change at life! I really dislike how north American models have locked bootloader these days.

Seeing screenshots of ICS makes me feel pretty nostalgic about my old Galaxy Nexus. I don't remember having any complaints about it. Anyone else feel the same way?

Keep an eye on that battery if you're not using it. Thankfully it's removable!

I haven't seen the word Froyo in so long! Agreed, the changes used to be so visually significant.

Sweet. Is it on a stand?

[-] ijeff@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

Nice! That's a good idea. I should consider mounting my old Note 8 to my MTB handlebars.

Very, very cold wallets 🥶.

[-] ijeff@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting. Do you have it mounted permanently in the car?

You should clear your browser data and log back in.

I do this all the time! I wish I could do it on their desktop websites too...

That's a good instinct considering the context. Folks would most likely receive it that way IRL.

I can confirm we are seeing very similar levels of engagement on !android@lemdro.id as on /r/android despite significantly smaller subscriber numbers.

Lemmy really does scratch the itch for me. It's refreshing, even if mod tools aren't there yet.

Please stop talking about reddit. If you want this to be the next reddit, I beg of you to stop mentioning it.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the references to Reddit. It's precisely that upset toward what we're seeing happen to Reddit that is driving even greater usage of Lemmy. The same thing happened with Digg, which contrary to some of our collective memory did not take place all at once. Many moved over to Reddit in 2007 following the HD DVD encryption code scandal, with many still using Digg to some degree. Sentiment toward Digg continued to decline and Reddit traffic continued to climb until the final mass wave in 2010 with the arrival of Digg v4 that shifted emphasis away from user generated content toward heavier curation - this sealed Digg's fate with folks deciding to switch for good.

I think it's a good thing that Lemmy users continue to view themselves as displaced Redditors. You don't want that energy to fizzle out. It's what's driving people to volunteer more of their time and effort into community building.
