You’re must be joking! Look around, if you look past the bitten apple, there are plenty of perfectly capable devices out there for under $300. In fact, I see plenty of people who are on the street corners panhandling AND using a smartphone.
From what I see Hexbear is pretty toxic and gets regularly defederated anyway.
No other way, if you’re banned.
I got an off-lease dell latitude 7400. Tbh, got it for free, but you can snag one on eBay for under $400. i5, 16 Gb ram, got a 1TB drive for $50 on Amazon. Runs Linux very well! I’d go with a light weight is like EndeavourOS or Arch.
Crate an account on a different instance? And oh yeah, stop being a dink?
Do a search in All for the keywords for the community name. Chances are you are either not going to find some of them or find multiple ones on several Lemmy instances. If you find several, subscribe to all and see which one is the most active, if you find none, consider starting one yourself.
EndeavourOS for the win! The speed of Arch Linux without the installation pain! Especially for older hardware?
My rule of thumb is this: if I perceive that the IP I want, was created by an individual who must have spent their blood sweat and tears creating it, I’ll pay for it to encourage that work. If, on the other hand I’m being made to pay extra for something just because there’s a queue of corporations that just want to profit for providing something made by others, I pirate it as a form of protest. As an example, I’ll gladly pay for an ebook being distributed through an author’s website even if I’m not sure I’m going to like it. But I will not pay for a cable subscription just to be able to watch sports programs. Another example: I’ve paid money for mobile games when I see a lot of effort being spent in making the gameplay engaging, but I will delete or try to cheat or pirate games that I perceive as pay-to-win.
Gnome online accounts are also in Cinnamon if you like a more traditional desktop paradigm. Using it now on Manjaro. Works well.
Supposedly you will be able to use FB Lite app to chat. I got the same message, uninstalled Messenger Lite and verified that FB Lite app works for chatting.
It worked as far as syncing the subscriptions. I was also hoping it would sync the profile settings like languages, display name etc. Which it didn’t. Not a big deal though as I was mostly after the subscriptions.
That’s true, but I wanted to avoid having to do all that work. :) Just being lazy.
Trying it now.

Of course you can get a used of refurbished ones for less even Apple. I was referring to new devices. As an example, I use a Motorola Edge plus that I bought new for $400. It does everything my wife’s iPhone 15 Pro. The camera quality is slightly lower, but perfectly adequate.
