A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.

They can pry my Galaxy S4 with removable battery and IR blaster out of my cold dead hands. (Thank you LineageOS, because Samsung dropped updates for it a decade ago.)
You're still getting Lineage updates for the S4?! That one maintainer keeping your phone alive:
To be honest I'm surprised too... official builds are done, but there's still unofficial ones floating around. I expected everyone to give up on this thing by now, but the last update was Nov 16th (https://updater.oddsolutions.us/devices/jflteatt/builds)
I'm happy they are though. The phone may not be very powerful by today's standards but it does what I need it to.
This guy gets it.
Samsung s20 fe with microsd slot for me. I got comics and audoobooks to download! Let me use expandable storage!
Sitting on the same phone, i don't know what to do when it dies, really low spec ones got sd slots and a 1500 euro xperia..and thats it. But i like my local files so much
You would need a lifetime of comics to fill even a few dozen gigabytes...
Nope! The power rangers year 1 omnibus is over a gig.
I miss my Galaxy S4... I had a blast running CyanogenMod on it. Ended up replacing it after ~3 years because I dropped it in the ocean (it mostly worked after I opened the back and cleaned it, all except the network card). Such a great device!
I'm really pissed that my current phone (S23) now has a locked bootloader because of the newest OneUI update. Damn it, Samsung.
Unihertz titan has an ir blaster and headphone jack for under 300 bucks, just sayin. Love mine
I'm not in the market for a new phone at the moment, but that one does look awesome. I like phones that are a little bulkier rather than those super thin things you usually see nowadays that feel like they're gonna snap in half if you forget it in your back pocket.
Too bad the battery isn't removable though, that's the only bad thing I see with it. ( I know that's a rare thing to find a phone that does, but one can dream lol)
It is built for repairability and has accessible screws. I havent tried taking the back off yet tho. The right to repair attitude of the company is what drew me in too!
Ok that's pretty cool! I just saw in the specs that the battery wasn't removable, but that's sort of misleading I guess if you can pop it open with a simple screwdriver.
My daughter might be getting a new phone this spring, I'm gonna have to talk to her about something like this one. Thanks!
