They certainly made the most of the space given to them by mother nature. The dearth of green in there feels unsatisfying though.

Does it have to be Android exclusive? I still play Duet infrequently. Simple but beautiful, pay once, and engaging gameplay. Besides that, I don't game much nowadays.
There are a lot. It's hard to name just one.
But off the top of my head, among them would probably be the moment when I was casually skimming through a volume of an encyclopaedia reading up on precious metals. I learnt that gold is so malleable that 28.35 gm of it can be hammered into a sheet spanning 9.3 sq. metres. Or that the same quantity could be drawn out into a wire roughly 80 km long, and gold isn't even the most ductile metal there is! Totally blew my mind.
Others would be the times I read up anything at all about astronomy. I've been fascinated by it since my childhood.
That is the goal, yes. One thing I've noticed is that the relative scarcity of posts here, especially news, has me frequenting a lot of news sites directly. Which I think is a good thing. Of course, one can't expect Lemmy to rival Reddit's content and engagement from the get go. We'll see where the platform is headed in the future.
I deleted my account so there's no going back for me. Not that I would anyway. I'd be lying if I said I don't miss some of the subs I used to lurk on there, but that's not something I can't move on from. I still have many informative comments and posts I'd saved up in RES though.
Speaking of which, I came to know way too late that the max number of saved items in Reddit is 1000. Does anyone here have a clue on whether or not Lemmy has a similar restriction? I lost many good posts and comments I'd saved up for years due to that limitation until I switched to RES saving.
That depends on the phone. I remember some old Samsung flagships using a native 16:9 sensor. That was over at least half a decade ago though. Another device with such a setup I remember would be the Nokia 8 Sirocco.
And, the now extinct Windows phones had atypical arrangement where neither aspect ratios would result in the full usage of the sensor, though 4:3 got closer. The Sony Xperia 1 V has multi-aspect ratios too, afaik, where you'd gain some horizontal FOV at the expense of the same vertically when switching from 4.3:3 to 16:9 or longer.
For the vast majority of the phones and their users out there though, I agree with you. I've seen way too many people go with 18-21:9 pictures, probably thinking they're capturing more of the scene as they see that aspect ratio fill up their screen.
