Sure

There was an article recently talking about how forums are still around. Has a decent list too:

Preach! I hate knowing that GV is basically on autopilot as a project at Google. They don't seem to ever treat it like it matters to them.

I've got a Palma. Love it.

Like others here, I keep wifi off while I'm reading and only turn it on to update my Omnivore articles or update my saved position in a book (using Kindle or Kobo apps).

I have no idea how the battery holds up for the people who are trying to use it as a phone (ie using it a lot for browsing or chatting and other battery-heavy apps).

I just wanted a phone sized eReader that could let me install apps other than just a bookstorr. The Palma fits that bill wonderfully.

the regular P9 is 128GB only

I've got the regular pixel 9 with 256. It's not limited to 128, it just is the base model size.

Personally I stopped custom roms a while back. I'm not hardcore in the anti-google camp though.

If you are, obviously custom roms will be all you should be looking at. Tons of good recommendations in this thread already.

If you're not in this camp though, the default pixel experience has been great for me and might be for you. I find it the least annoying of the oem experiences (not cluttered in features I'll never use, simplified settings menu where I've never had to use the search on since it all made sense etc).

I'd say use the stock rom for a few weeks. If you hate it, custom roms are always there for you.

If you have a file manager app installed you should get that as an option for most content (I use Amaze).

This was pretty much my reaction as well.

The Minisforum HX80G. That's the older model. They have the HX99G, HX100G and others now. They all range in price but Amazon has sales.

I picked mine up for $650.

I'm the same way but I bought one of those mini pcs that has a laptop cpu/gpu in it, installed ChimeraOS on it which essentially turned it into a steamdeck.

I have that hooked up to my living room tv and it's my main gaming device. It's essentially a console. I never upgrade anything. It runs what I play at 1080p with med or high settings.

Suits me just fine. I mainly just want to sit on my couch and game on the TV instead of being at a desk like I did years ago.

Like others have mentioned, I am in the same boat of having multiple communities to follow with the same name but on different instances and I forget about others or (more likely) don't even know that others exist.

It does bug me that I can't group communities that exist on different instances together. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to a collection of communities that I can give a label to.

A way to group all patientgamers communities together would be a huge help.

It's just the way the whole federation stuff works I guess. And I like it...Except for when I don't 😂
