I limit things to swapping the launcher to Lawnchair, disabling most of the Samsung apps and loading Google equivalents (including gBoard). With the exception of notifications and settings, it’s a reasonable experience. Most recently I did this to a Galaxy tab S8. It’s close enough to my Pixel that it’s not irritating.

Reality has a well known left leaning bias.

Conservatives and their politics do not have equal status. In this climate, “both sides” is toxic and suggest each is equally supported and viable. They are not. The right is an incredibly hateful minority end should be treated as such.

I need someone (or some two) like this locally. Sometimes the strength is needed. I also need a handy person on call because getting old sucks.

I always ask “do you want help with that?”

If they’re talking nonstop, they don’t want input. If they’re not, this is the question I ask. Most of the time they just want to be heard, but not always.

I started using Spark late last year. It’s simplified my mail handling quite a bit. There’s also a desktop client for Windows, Dunno about OSX and IOS.

I never know what I “can contribute”. However I have Opinions That Must Be Heard. That’s probably sufficient.

Regardless, lemmy.world rocks.
