  • I’m going to suggest you to reword your comment. Because I’m pretty sure it will be interpreted as racist and offensive by some, and I would agree with them. Calling someone’s homeland a “shithole” sucks, especially something as vague as an entire continent. I understand you don’t exactly mean it that way, but in that case, maybe use less insulting language.

    But anyways, regarding your question, I guess there are a lot of “richer” African countries (Rwanda, South Africa, Botswana etc.) Nigeria is not necessarily the richest.














  • Thanks! I’m interested in buying the device, not to read but because I have a disability that basically makes it impossible for me to use normal phones due to visual overload. I have a couple questions:

    1. How dim does the backlight go? Can it get so dim that you barely realise it is on — kind of like minimum phone brightness?
    2. What is the experience like when typing? Could you use the phone to send messages?
    3. What does the hardware feel like? It seems the CPU is pretty weak, do you feel that at all when using? What do you think the longevity would be like?
    4. Do you think a usecase like leaving the display on as a button pad with a bunch of shortcuts would be a workable usecase?
    5. Can the customisable sidebutton be programmed to do literally anything? Like could I link it to a Tasker shortcut or something?
    6. I’ve noticed that people say the settings are rather limited compared to normal android? Has that limited you in any way, are things like DNS and VPN still usable?

    Really? The censorship is nowhere near as bad as China. But there are so many things that just aren’t commonly taught that are atrocious. From the forced sterilisations of disabled people upto the 70s, to US war crimes against civilians, to things like COINTEL PRO.

    Sure comparatively (US wise) far left communities seem to be aware of them, like on lemmy, but it’s nowhere in the mainstream US discourse.
