They still have a readership, unfortunately.
The New York Post had a huge “Blame Canada” headline on June 8th, so… Yep, very literally.
Doesn’t solve the small hands ergonomics aspect, but yeah, bigger pockets would be nice. I’ll take whichever quality of life improvements I can get, though.
I’m a woman with small hands and unfortunately smaller pockets. I don’t need a thinner phone - I need a shorter, narrower phone that’s comfortable to hold and that won’t peek out halfway from my jeans.
So for me, the flip phone format makes a lot of sense, because companies seem intent on offering me Large or XXL Max Extra only in terms of candybar phones.
That said, I don’t think it should be the mainstream, never mind the silly hyperbole that “every smartphone should be a flip phone”. We just generally need more size/format variety in the market.
I checked in on the trash fire yesterday, and the smaller hobby-oriented subs I’m on were heavily targeted, possibly to keep up the illusion of engagement during the blackout. I didn’t dive into what’s happening on the comments side, but sorting by New was a trip. But outside of the blackout, yeah, usually I steer clear of the big communities and life isn’t too full of bots.
That’s my daily driver! Same colour, same nib. A year on, it’s aged really well, too. Hope you like it as much as I do mine! :D
What do you think of the ink? My current favourite to ink this pen is Herbin’s Poussière de Lune, but I could use something a tad darker and this one looks like it might be right.
Thanks for the list! I went ahead and made the one for Montréal: !montrealimpact@lemmy.ca
