There are just two subs I check about once every two days, but I’m yet to log in again after I disconnected my account last month. I used to only visit it through Libreddit as the UX is better anyway but now that one’s gone too…

Thunderbird on the desktop; K-9 Mail on Android.
Wow, I’ve never even used Sync but from the screenshot of the Reddit app on Google Play it’s one of those UIs so good that make you want to use it. I’m currently fine with the Lemmy PWA but the more feature-complete Reddit apps that get “ported” to be used with Lemmy the better, especially to ease the transition for new users.
Couldn’t agree more, two years ago I was gifted a small wireless speaker which works fine and everything but I sometimes even forget to charge it because its cable is a 15cm short USB-A to Micro-USB one which somehow is the only Micro-USB cable I have left at home as I didn’t have any other device with that port in years and I had thrown away a few cables when I last moved. Now whenever I am looking for a new electronic device USB-C is one of the first things I check and it’s a deal breaker for me.
Congratulations! I’m about to try to get a professional assessment, although in the particular region of Italy where I live it’s a long process for adults that involves getting appointments with two doctors before going to the “Regional Autism Centre”. That has discouraged me for quite some time but this sort of limbo sometimes is hard to bear and now I just want to know it for certain…
Motorola Edge 30 Pro (aka Motorola Edge+ 2022 for the North Americans here), which I got back in early November last year. I did research for a while before buying it (and got it with a huge discount) and I’m mostly happy with my purchase, it’s a nice phone with a clean near-stock Android experience (although I’ve since changed launcher to Kvæsitso) and it’s extremely fast, although I must say I’m not a heavy smartphone user.
Worst things are that the Android 13 update took nearly three months long than planned to come (and here in Italy apparently we were among the first to get the update) and Motorola is not that fast with security updates; while the only really annoying thing is that sometimes it stops the internet connection usually after giving the command to download/update apps, whether from the Play Store or from F-Droid; the connection somehow is still there as it’s enough to cancel and tell do download/update again and everything works.
This is my first Android phone: my first smartphone was a Nokia X6 running Symbian which I got in 2011 and then I used iPhones for a decade (while having been a Mac user all the time), first an iPhone 5C in 2013 and then an 8 Plus which I got in 2018. Clearly the newest was the best of the bunch as it was a quite major upgrade from the 5C, which in turn came when Symbian was an abandoned OS; the last two phones both lasted me just short of five years, and I changed back in November mainly because I could hand it down (refurbished) to my mom, otherwise I would have waited perhaps another year.
This time I decided to leave iOS for good as I was increasingly unsatisfied and worried with Apple’s walled garden ecosystem - for the same reason I had already left macOS for Linux back in 2020 (never had any other Apple products nor subscriptions except for a few iPods over the years) - and even after the novelty has worn off I vastly prefer Android. Right now I have this Android phone and my laptop I’m writing from, which only runs Linux, specifically EndeavourOS, although my old 2009 iMac still works - thanks to a SSD swap back in '17, although it hasn’t gotten newer updates since High Sierra - and I tinker with it from time to time. At work I use Windows 10… but that’s not my choice.
I use the following ones (on Firefox), except for uBO the others are just for conveniency:
Admittedly I tend to always see as a bad thing whenever I see phone models without headphone jacks, that said for the last five years I’ve been using phones without headphone jacks and using the wired headphones they came with is enough for the few times I need to use them.
