GUI: Surf, uzbl, mupdf, Electrum (BTC wallet), Electrum-LTC, Sparrow, NotIon (the tiling window manager, of course, not the note taking app), Logseq.
I thought all nostr clients and bitcoin clients work on all android phones?
Not at all, they require tons of resources.
How do you like the Redmi Note, so far?
It looks cool and it has plenty of space to try out apps, which is why I got it.
But I'd be much more satisfied with a second hand one I could have bought for a fourth or fifth part of the price, as I've always done, and try to flash it with a friendlier (less Gøøgł€ infested) rom.
I don't like the many apps that come with it. I never use any of the Gøøgł€ apps, which I'm trying to reduce as much as I can by disabling them and hiding them; and replacing them with sane alternatives from zapstore and F-Droid.
I've been using an Android 7.0 based one that I bought second hand for 40€ a few years ago. I'm not sure about make and model, since it has signs of the telephone company which distributed it.
Unfortunately the lid doesn't hold any longer, so last Wednesday I bought my first first hand smartphone ever, a Redmi Note.
I've decided, against my desire and philosophy, to buy a new one (a Redmi Note), instead of a second one again, because I wanted it to be compatible win some Nostr clients and some Bitcoin clients I haven't been able to try yet, because developers don't really develop for everybody. Many, many people in the world can't afford to buy a last generation phone to hold a few thousand sats in the LN, as Ecash, or the like.
Bitcoin, well, actually how software is developed, has sadly changed how I've done this time around, yes.
Neo-liberalism.
In the last few decades slaves didn't wear chains, they had mortgages.
In the 21st century slaves won't even have mortgages, rent is becoming heavy enough.

I think it all started when I was 10 years old and my sister was 8 years old. We started talking about how little sense all we were being taught about god, all the bullshit about rewards and punishment in the afterlife depending on your behavior "here" , etc., made.
We went ahead and read some more of the bible (what a disgusting book!), where we soon learned that god is the most despicable character in the Universal Literature, which men created in their own image, and therefore it became a revolting misogynistic homophobic racist despotic tyrant.
I had to unlearn all the malicious and nefarious religious bullshit they taught me at school. It didn't take much time or effort, of course, for it's all far too ridiculous to even make any sense as soon as you think a little.
Not mostly, totally.
I had never got bored on a cinema until I tried watching one of those. I've never got bored again.
Least entertaining, interesting, or engaging movie I've ever watched.
I like Sci-Fi movies, though.
