I’m sure Google contactless payment works really well when the phone is dead. Or you drop your phone in a toilet or off a bridge. It’s far easier to loose a phone than a card in a wallet in your pocket. If you lose your phone, you also lose access to all your money.

At the price of the Pixel 8a, I would suggest getting the Pixel 8 instead.

I’m running Graphene OS and its been solid. A few issues here and there with app compatibility but it is fantastic.

Yeah that’s the one I saw

There are even companies slapping AI labels onto old tech with timers to trick people into buying it.

They need Linux developers to do that

I’ve heard this a lot but haven’t seen any mention of anyone dying. Do you have a source?

VR is a gimmick, it’s funny Apple waited so long and outpriced themselves.

I love to hear it. Linux has done pretty much everything I’ve needed it to to and it’s great to see a lot of programs are available for Linux natively.

I switched to Linux Mint Debian edition when the Reddit thing happened. I’m glad I did before Windows got this bad.

I had quit in October of that year because I found a much better job that I ended up working at for 11 years. In those few short months though it was wild all the things that happened in that store. That store was in a mall and it didn’t last a year after I quit. They had a going out of business sale and I got a ton of arduino stuff for 75% off.

I worked at Radio Shack in 2012 for a few months and was told by my boss that if a customer wasn’t there to buy a cell phone, be as little help to them as possible.

What is being done with the information?

Why does that matter?

That’s like climbing down into the sewer and complaining there’s shit.

If only they made their batteries easier to replace so this would be a non issue.

Just delete your account and uninstall. It seems people forget they have that option.

I switched to Firefox the same time I switched to Linux and I switched to Linux with the reddit enshittification.

After listening to it, I would say it’s a bit of a stretch. It may sound similar but the cadence is different. Definitely not Scarlett.

I went from cable to satellite in 2008 and then went strictly streaming in 2010. I’ve had Disney + and Netflix off and on over the years but I’ve found that I don’t need any of them. There are plenty of things to watch for free elsewhere and plenty of other things to do than watch shows that will be canceled after the first season.
