  • I used a Hisense A5 Pro CC phone for a few months as my daily driver. For books, colour eink is okay at best but yeah, contrast sucks. It pretty much always will with the extra layers of filtering needed for each colour.

    Outside of static pages of text and images, you pretty much need to drop colour depth to pretty garish levels for a decently responsive user experience. It’s a nice idea but really isn’t very good in practice.


  • Mastodon and Misskey are both getting a little overstuffed. Neither are particularly nimble, with Masto moving to further “professionalise” itself and Misskey (forks included) having way too much stuff on offer in terms of features.

    Regarding clients, Kaiteki seems to be the best Misskey client I’ve found on mobile. The native PWA was an absolute pain the last time I used Misskey. The anime issue with it probably stems from it’s Japanese origin and most big instances seen as refuges for artists banned off Twitter.

    I’ve personally switched to GoToSocial, which seems to fill all the Mastodon-shaped holes without gulping down resources.
