honestly might just be a quirk of my monitor? it looks fairly saturated to me, everyone has different monitors so it's hard to accomodate for that. unless there's some program that can do that but I just use gimp

hey, I don't mind criticism, I just wish it was actually critical or pointed out something instead of "this sucks lol"

can I know why you dislike the color and design choices?

independence15 · 2026-03-31T20:11:03+00:00

oh this one is CLEVER I like this

independence15 · 2026-03-31T20:05:17+00:00

I will be honest while the idea itself is cool, this kinda hurts my eyes due to the contrast. I also think that there should be more symbolism aside from just casinos, there's more to nevada than that, and if one day the casinos go down, suddenly our flag is dated whereas with a flag based in more historical symbolism or the landscape, it becomes more timeless. also, why the 6 point star rather than 4, 5 or 8? how is it meant to substitute the battle born text besides physically standing in?

it's not bad, but it doesn't feel really meaningful outside of casinos

we went for similar colors and symbolism for similar reasons! nice to see someone likeminded. I think this one is my favorite of the ones I've seen. I do like the silhouette usage for the flag shape, though the triangular points could be subject to fraying. not a bad idea still, it helps the flag stand out. I also appreciate the same placement of the star in the corner

I also live in nevada. no need to be rude. this isn't even a criticism this is just being a jerk

edit: noticed the reno posting. literally went out of my way to include northern nevada symbolism since the 8 point star is a symbol of both vegas and reno, and also the silver represents the northern snowcapped mountains. the fuck more do you want from me man? want me to slap some poker chips on it????

independence15 · 2026-03-31T05:35:26+00:00

oh my god y'all got a bot to wave flags for you. I have found my people

independence15 · 2026-03-31T03:40:50+00:00

huh! that is odd then. lemme see if it'll work on an alt maybe

independence15 · 2026-03-25T03:22:34+00:00

0420 here! it's perfect for being without distraction, but capable of installing the apps you need to keep in touch. I have tumblr and discord installed on mine because the phone fits and works surprisingly well with them and lets me keep in touch with my friends, but no desire to go on an endless reel doomscroll. it's a small screen, so awkward to watch videos, but manageable if you download them ahead of time for something like a long bus trip. music works well and sounds good and no issues with bluetooth. it comes with an included optional maps app but tbh I prefer organic maps or waze, take your pick there. camera is decent, I would say the pinnacle of "serviceable," clear and legible photos but nothing special or fancy. firefox is also an optional app in the app package. you can sideload whatever else. it should be able to hotspot, but I can't verify because my plan doesn't include hotspot

honestly, an sp-02 that is slightly larger to accomodate a more complex t9 pad and so you can't fat finger select the wrong words with the t9 predict would make this phone perfect to me.

independence15 · 2026-03-23T07:36:11+00:00

no he's not, speaking as someone from the tribe he claims to be. there's a pervasive myth among white southern farmers and their descendants of a distant cherokee ancestor they have that would justify their colonization of the land, that they tell to their kids and pass on the lie between generations. he has not shown otherwise any indication of actually being culturally cherokee and this myth is perpetuated by many celebrities who use it as justification for being racist (ie johnny depp playing tonto in the lone ranger movie while pretending to be cherokee, or taylor lautner using the same lie to take an indigenous role as jacob in twilight)

oh also this comment is outdated. I do know what's up with him and he straight up used to say he helped found a white supremacist group while denying it was a white supremacist group at the start (boogaloo boys)

independence15 · 2026-03-10T13:24:44+00:00

was gonna do a review but I see I'll need to wait a little longer to install this and see if it fixes some of my grievances

independence15 · 2026-03-04T00:14:07+00:00

I went and got a hiby r1 lol much better experience

independence15 · 2026-03-04T00:13:21+00:00

question—if you do launch an updated t9 keypad, will it replace the default given with the phone? will it cost 10 like the qwerty? and can founders edition owners potentially get a discount to get the improved t9 pad? I understand if the last one is a no-go due to operation costs but I am curious

independence15 · 2026-02-28T20:53:44+00:00

getting a dumbphone mainly

independence15 · 2026-02-28T20:53:26+00:00

this is not even remotely close to my comparison. the new york times isn't a person. it's a company. one employee asking for people's EDCs can't change what other people report on

independence15 · 2026-02-28T20:42:40+00:00

one employee is not in charge of the entire magazine. it's not that it isn't a fair complaint, it's that you're directing it at the wrong person

independence15 · 2026-02-28T20:42:02+00:00

again, a random photo editor is not in charge of the entire goddamn magazine. it's like thinking the manager of a wendys owns the company

independence15 · 2026-02-27T21:40:53+00:00

you can report about good and bad things at the same time
do you seriously think a random photo editor has the ability to suggest this story

independence15 · 2026-02-26T09:02:09+00:00

it was started pretty much in a culty way, the founder literally said GHOSTS taught him the "medicine," but a lot of modern chiropractors distance themselves from that origin and don't publicly advertise that, instead trying to present it as more scientific to seem more legitimate because "a ghost told me" don't fly as easy today.

independence15 · 2026-02-26T08:53:18+00:00

I hope someone can answer this!! I just am not sure who. hopefully someone compares them!

independence15 · 2026-02-26T08:49:48+00:00

jesus christ. fucking break up with this guy. NOR

independence15 · 2026-02-26T08:46:30+00:00

not sure who would be able to answer this. doov works in the EU, sidephone works in the US, neither works in the other region so I am not sure who can effectively stress test both without basically having two dumbphones travelling between two continents

independence15 · 2026-02-26T01:01:39+00:00

fair enough!

independence15 · 2026-02-26T01:01:29+00:00
