@JVNardulli Quick update: I've got the TCL 40 Nxtpaper and I've been using it for a few days, now. Thank you so much for the tip, I'm loving this gadget. Biggest bang for buck in a long while. And yes, the Nxtpaper display is amazing, I kind of do not want to stare back at my other, glossier devices anymore.
@dtgeek Yes, it was possible indeed. But on average it was more like VHS-level on a good day. :)
@dtgeek DVD-level?! Talk about an overstatement. DVD-level picture quality is what you get today, with most YouTube videos. The TVs you're talking about would often have very bad reception, meaning the image would often lose color, shape or even sync. Most had a "vertical" dial, so that you could try and tune them so that the picture would not keep scrolling vertically. Fun times.

@az I have my own, modern version of a pager. I leave my phone always on silent. Which makes sense, because I'm either working or doing something else, not baby-sitting a Tamagotchi (the phone).

Eventually, I'll take a look at the "missed calls" (which are rare, because everyone who was actually supposed to contact me already knows that an email or Telegram message is the right way to do it) and see if it makes sense returning any of those. Which seldom happens, because I only check them late at night and nobody would answer the call anyways.

So that's it. It's my communication device and it works under my own terms.

@JVNardulli Hey, I saw those as well, but they don't really sport an e-paper screen, do they? It's actually an LCD with a different coating. They could be the next best thing, though. Thanks anyways for the tip.
I'm looking for an #eink or #epaper #android #smartphone and I've read about the #hisense #a9 but it's been impossible to find one for sale. Can someone recommend a #phone that meets these requirements and is also available for purchasing somewhere? Many thanks in advance.

@RadicalGraffiti It makes me sick whenever I hear “growth” these days. Because it’s seldom about growing trees and usually about growing some numbers. Where do they actually want to grow to? Did the Earth just become bigger since the last year?

We live in this blue ball, traveling across the infinite void, and our resources are limited. And we’ve been doing a very poor job caring for them. It’s 2024 and many scientific discoveries have been made so far, but the flat-Earth mentality has never left the table of the groups who are actually ruling the human species.

The only feasible present-future goals humanity should seek must be about de-growth, slowing down, tending to our home planet and to our much-neglected humanity. Targeting the peace and the sanity that have always been second thoughts in our priorities.

@delilah While I second that, I'm also pro e-ink smartphones gaining traction. They could have the power to indirectly divert people from mass media consumption, leading to more relaxed and sustainable lifestyles. When the device I have now, which is already pretty old, loses its ability to work, I'll be looking for whatever e-ink device I can find.
@nm Attagirl! That’s how it’s done. ✌️😎

#introduction

Hello good people, I've just registered on veganism.social. I've been looking for a space just for vegans for a long time. I've been vegan for over a decade, I'm against cruelty and androcentrism.

I'm posting from Germany, but I’m originally from Brazil. The topics are mostly in English, although there may be some occasional writings in German and/or Portuguese.

Stay strong! 🌱
