No sidelong, easier rooting (sometimes), price, etc

I'm gonna be honest I've lost friends because of reaching out.

At least 5 friends I had before I stopped talking because I simply was not in a good mental state to keep using social media/messaging daily, I was in a different country, and none of us had started a conversation.

I felt overwhelmed about it as well. Sometimes I even felt more nervous about reaching out than going to a job interview.

As soon as I sent the text asking how they had been, the first text I received was "You think you can just pick up the phone and text again like nothing happened? You never text"

They didn't even want to know how I was doing. I was taken aback but I immediately asked "I'm sorry I couldn't reach out before, but, why did you never text either?" And they just blocked me.

The good thing I can take from this is that I think actual friends would be happy that their friends reached out.

As of July 6, the subreddit is chockablock with boobs and cock.

This sentence is just something else.

Are we talking American? British? Scotish? Australian? Irish? Which one are we talking about?

I check the option "hide notificatins from notification panel"

You will still "receive" notifications but they will appear on the notification panel when DND is inactive and not when it's active. Sorry, I expressed myself poorly in the previous comment, it's not that it will straight up block notifications from coming, it's more like putting you phone in silence for some time.

The reason I think this works is because the phone keeps vibrating/ringing whenever you receive a notification and that also consumes more battery.

Other than that, yes, as I said in the first comment I put some apps to sleep/deep sleep as well, depending on my use of those apps (idk if that's what you mean by background refresh).

Yep, I discovered it because I'm not someone who likes to be receiving anotifications every 5 minutes (which are mostly spam) and I wanted what iPhone users have that it throws you a summary of all notifications you have received every now and then.

So since there was no way of getting that summary on Android what I did is actuvate my DND and schedule it to get deactivated every 6 hours for 10 minutes so I can receive all the notifications within that time.

The side effect was an increase of battery that I didn't know was going to happen.

Honestly I just put several apps into sleep or deepsleep and when I really need battery I turn on DND.

I don't know why the changes are so drastic but in my device battery went up from 3-4hrs SOT to 6-7hrs SOT and from 12-16hrs stand by to 24-30hrs stand by.

Also just to clarify, I live in Brazil so there is no 5G here, only 4G. I also deactivate RAM Plus.

I do have to admit though, the default S21 FE experience leaves much to be desired because the battery is not enough.

I wonder if advertisers have been leaving Reddit and if so, how many? I've honestly never seen a social media website/company ask for advertisers like this tbh.

I'm not a lot on social media to begin with, so I'm not sure.

15 minutes if you actually read the tweets, but when this "reading limit" is actually "impression limit", and Twitter counts an impression as a tweet just loading on your feed (I didn't know this). About 2 minutes of continuous scrolling gets you rate limited.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

It just displays a message saying "Cannot retrieve Tweets at this time, please try again later" after a couple of minutes of browsing.

Also, aparently this

That was the first thing I did as soon as it was said that Sync was going down. If you don't find your Reddit account useful anymore or want to protest, you should consider doing it. You can still browse Reddit without an account (for now) if you need info about something.
