The Poor People's Campaign was a march on Washington D.C. to gain economic justice for poor people in the United States that began on this day in 1968, just one month after the assassination of one of its key organizers, MLK Jr.
The protest was also organized by Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and carried out under the leadership of Ralph Abernathy in the wake of King's assassination.
After presenting an organized set of demands to Congress and executive agencies, participants set up a 3,000-person protest camp on the Washington Mall, where they stayed for six weeks in the spring of 1968.
Among those demands was a proposal for an "economic bill of rights" that included a commitment to full employment, a guaranteed annual income measure, and more low-income housing for poor Americans of all races.
"I think it is necessary for us to realize that we have moved from the era of civil rights to the era of human rights…
When we see that there must be a radical redistribution of economic and political power, then we see that for the last twelve years we have been in a reform movement…
That after Selma and the Voting Rights Bill, we moved into a new era, which must be an era of revolution…"

My new phone has a 90hz display. My phone immediately suggested I turn the refresh rate down to 60hz to save battery life, which I did.
Why would I need a billion fps on a fairly basic phone anyway
I didn't believe the hype, but 90 or 120hz for phones is amazing. Makes interacting with a touchscreen way nicer. I also didn't notice a massive increase in battery use either like I thought I would
The battery life calculator claimed it would add over 2 hours to battery life which sounded fairly substantial. The battery on my previous phone is completely fried after about 5 years to the point that browsing the Internet for 15 minutes consumes about 20-30 percent so I kind of want to baby my new phone as much as I can. The smart charging options on newer versions of Android should make that pretty easy though.
Anyway, the battery's so bad on my old phone that it limits reusing it as something like a dedicated emulator device which is a shame since it'd be pretty decent for that sort of thing. It just irks me that we have these really neat little portable computing devices that are destined for the landfill because of their shitty non-replaceable batteries.
I don't remember the numbers when I tested it, but I didn't remember it being enough for me to warrant turning it off. All batteries die eventually.
I don't trust the built in battery estimators. But I like the app accubattery for keeping an eye on this stuff and overall battery health. It tells me how much % per hour it drains with screen on and off. Breaks it down by app, and shows me how many cycles I charge. I think I even paid for the pro upgrade.
I just got the battery charge limit thing, so I'll likely be using that too.
I feel you though. I miss my old Oneplus 2 which had screws. I changed the battery twice and the screen twice too. But it eventually just couldn't deal with stuff anymore and I got a new one. I wish OEM's were forced to sell replacement parts for 5++ years for these things. The third party batteries I've had weren't as good.
I also wish Android phones had an equivalent of installing Linux on a laptop with an unsupported version of Windows to keep them alive
If you unlock your bootloader, they kind of do. I ran a custom Rom on my Oneplus 2 for years after official support ended. Had to use something to get banking apps to work, but it's possible. Still stuck with google tho
That process feels much more like hacking a Wii or PS3 than simply installing Linux on a PC though
Yeah it's not quite as simple
what did you get? i need a new phone and it's very hard to choose because like I just don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and it be worse in some way than my old phone (a galaxy s7 edge) but there's like a billion different metrics to compare and like, idk, I hate shopping for shit, it's so much work
but i finally cracked my phone screen and it can't load the fucking app my bank uses because it's Too Old and I think the RAM isn't doing it anymore because it really struggles with load times, i'm literally at work for minutes sometimes not getting paid because the fucking app won't load
Note that I had some very specific requirements which probably won't apply to you
Under 150 euros
Better specs than my old Redmi
2 separate SIM slots as well as an SD card slot, no hybrid SIM bullshit
That last one turned out to be the most limiting one of them all as very few phones seem to have all three slots these days. I took a look at your S7 Edge's specs and honestly, you could easily replace it with a sub-200 dollar phone though you might have to compromise on your screen resolution a bit- cheaper phones seem to be still using 1080p and even 720p screens.
Something like this might tick your boxes if it's available in your region
