There's maybe other simplicity things that make it more battery efficient, like no dynamic island, only one camera, no magsafe, maybe stuff like that. But I am not an expert or anything

Try asking it to write 5 sentences that end in the word "apple". It still gets 0/5

I have always used old.reddit on my phone. I use no other reddit client. Just checked it right now and it looks the same as always. If old.reddit.com goes, I'll definitely go too.

I support the protests so I'm trying to use reddit less for news and stuff. But for certain needs I'd scour forums for, since those forums no longer exist, I kind of need to check reddit for some stuff. Things related to my health and such.

I spent 8 years trying to be a professional musician, running my own music project. I gave up opportunities, travel, etc. for it. Lived with family a lot of those years to save money for the studio, and to work part time so I could write songs and make demos. I made some things I'm really proud of. But it didn't pick up, I didn't get signed, I made no money from it and lost many thousands of dollars from it, etc.

By the end I was completely burned out, and saw I gave up most of my 20s for that. If I were to go back I wouldn't change anything. I gave it my best shot. But like OP here, I am burned out and need to just enjoy life now.

I'm still very much a fan of reddit. But then again I never ever ever go to r/all. I don't go to r/politics. So maybe it is a shitshow. But yeah the subreddits I like to visit are still high quality and give me good information.

I also feel like reddit has become legitimized as a source of new information. Especially ever since Obama did an AMA. I seem to find up to date information there that news outlets/journals haven't caught up with yet.

And it's been good that they've taken down some really messed up racism subreddits. It's bad that they for some reason let anti-white hate subreddits thrive and develop. Still not cool with that one. But all in all, I'll take it.
