im very tempted to, spotify has been kinda shitty lately

honestly i feel like im browsing a different internet than most people, and im not mad about it in the slightest

(on pixels at least) if you go into your google settings from the settings app, manage your google account, data and privacy, web and app activity, google is tracking literally EVERYTHING you do on your phone if you have this on. this was the most egregious invasions of privacy I’ve ever seen, baked into android and hidden away for users to disable, and it’s even harder to disable if you dont have a pixel. google does not give a fuck about “privacy” on android, they could start by just tearing all that stuff out but thats how the money is made so we’re left with alternatives like grapheneos.

yeah exactly. just confused why something like this would be promoted on lemmygrad of all places

im reading this shit and he keeps repeating right wing bs talking points… saying mlp is the subject of a pedo cult? and the author writes for a paper called “the american conservative”, immediately lost all credibility. i thought that lil cut off paragraph was silly but the rest of it is just obscene.

“We’re not going to wreck the economy. The truth is we are going to wreck the billionaire economy,” said UAW President Shawn Fain.

i love this quote

i remember hearing a few years ago about it costing around $200 to make the latest and greatest galaxy note 10, and it had an msrp around the thousand dollar mark. phones have MASSIVE profit margins and honestly its probably just been getting bigger and bigger since then.

ah yeah i live around seattle so i understand the need for hill-climbability, my bike was not cheap at all and it handles all the hills around here like a beast. if you ever get an opportunity to try out a 1000w ebike i think that would be able to cover the pitfalls you’re talking about, but i do agree it is a bit of an investment to get started, i definitely wouldn’t have my bike if i wasn’t able to sell my car.

i sold my car so that i could buy an ebike back in february, i now have 400 something miles on it and haven’t had to spend a dime on any maintenance (although i probably should have…) but when it comes to PEV’s they’re definitely one of those things where if you spend more money to get a better quality product you’ll have a much better experience. also since bikes are more standardized its easier to find replacement parts and if you’re willing to put the time into learning how to mess with it you wouldn’t even need to rely on a repair shop.

bluetooth works out of the box in most distros ive tried, so does my nvidia gpu, you can use office in a browser or one of its foss alternatives, and ive had no issues with steam either thanks to valve giving a fuck about linux. what are you going on about?

living in the pnw rn is great my lungs feel spicy

just got 2 lenovos to begin my self hosted journey B)

ive owned a pixel 2 xl, 4, 5, and currently on a 6 xl, ive enjoyed my pixels but (mostly in the case with the 4 and 5) they have some sorta dealbreaker. my 2 xl was great but the regular sized 4 was notorious for horrible battery, which it definitely had, so i got a 5 when it came out which was a decent phone but i wanted more speed and 120hz so when the 6 series came out i thought it would be a good upgrade to stay on. at first the bugs were kinda bad but they’ve been ironed out. at this point im just sad my bootloader is locked so i cant install grapheneos 😔 as for whether i wanna stay with pixels, i dont enjoy googles spying so if another good pixel comes out thats worth upgrading to in a few years comes out i may get an unlocked one, or just jump ship entirely

bunnies rise up

huh… i thought it stood for mainline cus its thr instance the main devs run

ayy im doing the same thing rn, been on pop for a couple weeks and im enjoying it!

i actually regret getting rid of my wii u. it had a solid library of games and i sold it to gamestop to buy overwatch and a couple other games during a steam sale. only years later did i learn that the wii u is probably the best console for playing the entire nintendo catalogue. rip.

keep talking and not doing anything i love it and ive loved every other time a shooting occurs and this same shit happens

im really liking how lemmy works and i think its interesting to learn about the details and i like the philosophy it runs on. im glad to be a part of this community!
