I’ve never like social media based on following other people. I care more about following a topic not a person.

Ie Lemmy/Reddit vs Mastodon/Facebook.

It takes some time to get used to. You need just the right mouse acceleration for it to work well.

The acceleration is whack out of the box with any Linux distro I’ve used so if you’re trying to get used to it there then good luck.

Yeah I’d expect a high end wifi 7 phone on a 6ghz connection would blow away a steam link with even a good 5ghz wifi 5 connection.

Does Sony provide the ROMs or do you have to find someone else’s ROM?

I’ve largely given up on custom ROMs because I’m not interested in dealing with the bugs. On a well supported device with a very popular ROM there’s usually not any major bugs after that version has been out for a while. But sometimes it can take a year + for a ROM to truly be bug free and I’m just no longer interested in that. That’s actually the reason I moved to iOS for my main phone.

That said Sony’s software sucks ass so maybe some random dude XDA dev will do better.

Are you proud?

To know what features people are using, how fast it’s running, know what hardware and where it’s being used, and to try to investigate crashing issues? Telemetry doesn’t only mean knowing where you live or who you’re banging.

Anecdotally cheap Chinese EVs are all over Costa Rica and even there they’re generally known to be garbage. Like how do you get a fairly car rusty in Costa Rica? Even if you live exclusively on the beach you’d have to have some really bad paint and 0 rust prevention done.
