Do you know how little that narrows it down

Metal won’t work because wireless charging is expected for most phones

It’s not an impossible problem to solve, Qi just doesn’t care. Qualcomm solved it with their wireless charging standard 10 years ago

Leaves glass and plastic, which are both found on premium phones.

I don’t think I’ve seen a “premium” phone with a plastic back in a LONG time

it feels and looks nicer than plastic and doesn’t scratch as easily

There’s a wide range of plastics, it gets a bad rap because of the cheap shit that’s often used, but there’s absolutely a “high end” plastic side of the scale that can beat glass and not nearly as fragile

Taking into account manufacturers somehow decided that glass, a very fragile material ESPECIALLY when thin, should be the ✨premium✨ material and all decent phones NEED to be wrapped in it…

Maybe there’s some truth to that lmao

lmao what did you just say about Hexbear, lib? 💀 I’ll have you know I’m a tier-5 giga-brained poster with a PhD in Leninist praxis from the University of Posters, and I have 300+ confirmed dunks on Lemmy.ml sockpuppets. I was radicalized in the trenches of r/ChapoTrapHouse, forged in the fires of permabans, and tempered in the meme wars of 2019. You are literally nothing to me but another bootlicker running on 80% State Dept. talking points and 20% soy. I will ratio you so hard your precious little upvote count will never recover. You think you can just roll up in here, talk shit about Hexbear, and not get absolutely obliterated by dialectical praxis in 4K? Think again, bucko. As we speak, my cadre of Discord tankies are screen-capping your posts, cross-referencing them with your cringe comment history, and drafting a 12-point rebuttal with citations from Stalin, Mao, and that one screenshot of Bernie saying ‘chill with the anti-communism.’ The storm that’s coming for you is called material conditions, and guess what? They’re not in your favor. I’ve got Lenin’s collected works and a folder full of spicy memes, and I’m not afraid to deploy both. You’re already owned, kid. You just don’t know it yet. Now go touch grass, comrade, before I drop another 3k-word comment that makes you cry and log off.

I’m curious how you can justify speaking for everyone? How is everyone’s experience worse? I’m sure the users of lemmy.cafe or any other instance that defederates or otherwise blocks .ml don’t notice a degradation.

I’ve even had people thank me for doing what I do because it’s actually an improvement for them so ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Constantly reposing duplicates en-mass makes the experience way worse for those of us who don’t have a personal vendetta against particular target lemmy instances and who haven’t defederated with them out of spite or distaste

It’s not possible to cater things in a way that’s pleasant for everyone at once. Your slightly degraded experience, is another’s “godsend” be it because they were forced out of .ml because of the “horrible” crime of supporting ukraine or calling out Russian propaganda or because by choice ala instance defederation or choosing to block them

Hence the reason people say, you need to cater your feed for an optimal experience.

Cross-posting as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts against .ml

Lol, nah as a small part of my boycotting efforts against .ml for what the .ml admins do to further their “ideology” and to make it easier for admins to choose to defederate (a common argument against defederation like with the rest of the triad (Hex and grad) is that they have too much content) I’m cross-posting content from .ml comms to the closest relevant non-.ml comm

A hex user posted the comic to a .ml comm, .ml proxies images, I could have changed the URL to directly point to the image, but adding that little bit of additional load is just a little sugar on top as far as I’m concerned lol
