Yeah, eventually a replacement will happen but in the mean time I’ll continue playing the “frugal game”. Instead of buying a new phone whenever the latest version is released, for less money I buy two of the previous version. Even if one needs a new battery I’m still way ahead. It’s very reassuring, especially when traveling, to have a cold spare just waiting in case the first one dies.

So far Mlem not working is the only problem I’ve encountered so it’s way to early to consider spending money. The Lemmy web view works just fine.

Occasionally I encounter someone totally into consumerism that can’t understand this, but that’s OK.
