@Romaq Oh yes, wear SOMETHING with gold in the nether!

@acjay

There's a whole list of hosters listed here: docs.joinmastodon.org/user/run

Maybe one of them meets your needs and is available?

@2ck Mm, wonder if you can do that with Sylus, check the CSS of their stuff (contains a text hashtag somewhere, contains their ID somewhere) and then colorize accordingly in your timeline?

@barefootstache Aaaah! Well, there's still the problem of having an old Android version and that certain apps I want to be using don't work well on it anymore. :/
Stuff is getting slow too, because the apps all are getting updated and become bloatier.

@2ck When you go to their profile page, can't you turn on notifications for that user (the bell icon) to get the desired effect?

@barefootstache I delete data regularly too.

I just don't want to anymore!

I still hate phones. But if you've got a Samsung Galaxy A53, I've got some questions for you! 

If you own a Samsung Galaxy A53, I would love it if you could answer some questions I have!

- I've read a lot of reports online that the phone is extremely sluggish, slow, laggy. Scrolling doesn't go smooth. Did you also experience that and did it get fixed?

- How strong is its vibrator? As a deaf person this is an important feature for me. The only reason I won't go A52 is a fair amount of reviews saying that the vibration is poor on that one.

@obi I KNOW! THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

I hate phones!

@obi Oh, and it's a model from 2020 I see, so a shorter update cycle left. I'm not really in favor of that I'm afraid. Buddy suggested it to me but he's got an S20 and he's already had it for years, so it's easier for him to say that. ;)

I hate phones 

@obi I checked, there is no refurb available of the S20 FE in our list. I'm a little bit wary of refurbs though.

I hate phones 

@barefootstache Oh yeah, AND IT DOES NOT HELP*cough* sorry, for screaming. Lemme restart:

It doesn't help that apps like Whatsapp and Telegram won't save the images and videos to external. It's always internal. And my bro, and my deaf friends, they always send me videos...

Yeah, fun(!)

@barefootstache My A3's internal storage is 16GB. I have a 64GB SD card in it that still has space left. But with every update it installs on my internal, and I have to manually move the bunch over every time.

Plus Android 8 is starting to be a huge bottleneck for me. Certain software I want to use won't work on it well.

I simply need to have a phone with a newer Android version, and while I'm at it, at least 128GB so I'm spared the hassle of moving over stuff out of sheer desperation.

I hate phones 

@obi Except I find 375 euro for a model of last year a bit ... I'm a cheapskate, truly!

I hate phones 

@obi Yeah. The Exynos I've not heard great stories about for the A53, it's said to be lagging terribly.

But I've also read here and there that with an update from October the lag's largely gone. And with turning off some features like menu animations and such (I'd turn that off anyway), that it's largely fixed.

But it's said that the Exynos 1280 (which both A33 and A53 have) is about 33% slower than the Snapdragon 778G of the A52. The A53 also has a 120Hz screen which might worsen the situation, though I'd probably just put it to 60Hz if that fixes it.

Mm, kinda wish I knew someone with personal experience with an A53 to ask questions to. It still looks good on paper, just the reports of 'IT IS SLOW! IT LAGS! IT STUTTERS!' isn't looking good to me.

I hate phones 

@stardust Hehe cool. :) Yeah, it's a great site for anything tech related!

But I still would like my future phone new if I can help it. The cheapest S10e (refurb) I can see is still 277 euro, so a tad out there for me compared to other newer models.

I hate phones 

@obi gsmarena.com does mention a Snapdragon 695 too. So that's probably correct.

@seedyh
I can go for either. 😋
(But usually I mean the non-British definition.)
