the_dunk_tank
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Magnetic Ink smartphone
Keep the applications you want, in exchange for using the thing being slightly more of a pain in the ass so you use it less overall. And you can read it clearly in daylight, which is nice
Hisense sells e-ink android smartphones now. So yes it exists.
I’ve never heard of this before but I like the idea. My ebook reader is e-ink and it rules.
Last I checked, nobody sells them domestically in the US, but you can import one easily. The Hisense ones take SIM cards, and the interface is really well setup. No google, though. You have to use web-downloaded APKs to scrape other APKs from the play store. Most apps don't need it to function, thankfully.
I already switched to a linux phone. things are plenty of a pain in the ass, I'm just fantasizing about getting rid of it entirely. Not even a dumb phone
e-ink phone is also a cool idea though if only for the point of being more readable out and about in the world and kinder on my eyes at night
Linux phone sounds finicky as hell, honestly. I don't mind it for the desktop, but that's cus I had to learn to be careful about only running updates when I feel like risking personal tech support
Oh it is, I'm just a masochist or something. I like it.
