If you go Android, I recommend a sony phone. Unlockable bootloaders, microsd, headphone jack, exceptional audio, good camera. And no fucking notch or hole cut out of the damn screen!
I even recently replaced the battery in my Xperia 1 iii.
I despise both of these things and I think you just broke my brain.
To be fair, Mozilla is making some choices regarding Firefox that are pretty controversial; most of us don’t like many of the decisions being made and have legitimate frustrations.
Whoa, wanting less people via having fewer kids isn’t eugenics, it’s wishful thinking. I don’t subscribe to the idea of forcing people to have fewer kids.
Edit: I can see how it sounds like I am advocating for eugenics in my earlier post. I will update it.
You’re not wrong, but this is more of a class issue than a generational issue, although in this case they certainly intersect. My boomer parents don’t have any money; they got screwed over by the 1% just like the rest of us.
I’ll debate it. The world would be way better off with about 6 billion less people in the world.
Edit: My apologies. I am NOT advocating for eugenics, mass murder, or anything else. My thought of having fewer people is wishful thinking of what a better world would be like if we simply never got to 7 billion people in the first place.
+1 for philips.
The problem is most of what the big box hardware stores in the US are selling are junk brands. And they won’t even offer basics like a philips 75-watt-equivalent soft-white led in their stores.
The junk brand bulbs will fail in my kitchen light fixture after a year (they start flickering). The philips bulbs have never failed for me.
A properly designed and produced led bulb should last like 20 years.
This reminds me of a Youtube series a guy did called When Phones Were Fun.
I think you are right. I wanted to add that often times people will have a strong sense of justice or revenge and want to see something bad happen to a person who did bad things.
Other times when people call for someone’s death, it’s because they don’t believe that there is any other way to stop the harm that person is causing. This tends to be the case when political figures start violating the civil and human rights of their constituents.
I keep seeing this posted but I have yet to see anyone mention which brands are actually doing this.
I used to say this when I was a cringy 20-year-old, before I really saw and understood the world (and still believed in a god).
‘All you can eat’ at Applebees sounds like a threat.
It’s been nearly a decade since I have eaten there but the last two times I did, I had some significant intestinal distress.
Yeah shortly after 9/11 is what did it for me. Learning who attacked us, why they would do that, stuff they didn’t teach us in school. Then, when I learned the US was invading Iraq for made up reasons, I realized what the US really is.
I wish people would stop making this stuff. Yeah it’s cute but no one plays games on these for longer than a minute. It’s ewaste being churned out while our planet is burning. We have to be more responsible than this.
This is what happens when you sell an expensive, bad, broken, unfinished product.
I think they are in the “find out” phase of FAFO.

Oh absolutely it can be. I think most people shooting at a drone aren’t intending to hurt anyone, and the possibility of anyone being seriously hurt is largely dependent on how populated the area is if the drone crashes.
Shooting at an occupied aircraft though? The likelihood that someone could be killed goes way up, right? The intent has probably also changed: for a drone it’s property destruction, for occupied aircraft it’s most likely murder.
Some people believe that intent doesn’t matter and that it’s the results of the crime that matter. I don’t subscribe to that reasoning because then the sentencing of a crime focuses on punishment instead of rehabilitation, and I think intent should have influence on if and how we rehabilitate people, but that’s getting into a whole different discussion.
You think someone shooting a drone – a thing that by definition doesn’t have any people in it – should have the same law and sentencing applied as shooting a plane full of people? That seems pretty different to me.
I’m not picking on you, but the comparison to Japan when I read about things like this makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t care that some people in Japan are comfortable staying in these things; I never want someone thinking this is acceptable for me to stay in. I don’t want living in a box this small to be socially acceptable. This is being pushed on people as the new normal instead of a motel or possibly an apartment and it feels dystopian. My standards for me and everyone else are higher than this.
