I have no idea how Samsung is rated so high. It's just a bloated mess.

I've been using sleeves/pouches since the Nexus 5 as I really prefer using a naked phone. I really liked them, protection in the pocket and also a clean phone as it's cleaned every time you put it in and out of the sleeve.

I've gotten clumsy though over the years so I think for my next phone I'll have to get a proper case. I'll hate it, but it's better than a damaged phone ๐Ÿ˜ข

Because they had to if they wanted to stick with the iPhone.

Really though, fuck Apple. This change wouldn't have happened without the EU forcing their hand.

I do find it strange though. For the first time since the 4S I am actually interested in the iPhone and going to USB-C is a big factor in that interest.

Regardless. Fuck what Reddit has become. I really hope that people will see the light and move to Lemmy.

I miss the formfactor of the 5 so much. Perfect size and symmetrical bezels. The rounded corners were comfortable in the palm.

Thankfully the rounded corners are returning but the phone is still too big IMO. They need to get to at least 6.1".

I have the 6a as I needed to replace the 5 due to a screen issue and it was cheaper to replace the phone than the screen.

Just what you need. A popup on your phone reminding you you're a scruffy git and not shaved in 7 days.

Yes, but also no. When I reply to an email my mailbox address is not exposed. The email appears to have come from the alias.

Yep. It takes a long time to go around updating all your sites. I've had lots of sites where I have to contact them to change my email address as you can't do it yourself. Even instances where it just can't be done so I've asked for account deletion instead. Still, never again now.

Use an email alias service and you'll never need to change your email address on sites again in the future. You can change to a new mailbox provider in the future and update all your aliases to point to your new email address within a minute.

Not any plan. I'm on Mail Plus and that doesn't include SimpleLogin.

I signed up for SimpleLogin prior to ProtonMail. I don't need the extra stuff in the Unlimited package.

Ditch that email address.

Create a new domain (preferred option) or use one provided by an alias provider (like SimpleLogin). Move all your sites to their own alias. At this point you should be getting no spam at all. If you do though you'll know which site it came from as they have their own alias. You can simply disable that alias and no more spam.

You don't need a spam filter anymore!

I moved from Gmail recently. Since you need to go around updating all your sites to your new email address anyway it's worth signing up for an alias service. Personally I went with my own domain hosted on SimpleLogin. I moved all my sites to aliases before moving away from Gmail. It then took less than a minute to update all my aliases to point to my new mailbox provider (Proton). The only site that knows about my new email address is SimpleLogin. I don't plan on giving out my proton email address to anyone else. If someone needs to email me they'll get their own alias to send to!
