Plus, you can set the speed to 1.5x and catch up to live, if you want.

I guess with all things, depends on the financial position of the customer.

If you're stretching yourself to get any phone, then yeah, diminishing returns for forking out $800+ for a flagship.

That being said I've owned multiple phones in each price category, and can say that the best phones are unfortunately among the most expensive.

Two things:

1. see if your power provider offers an "equal pay" plan, where your payments are normalized over 12 months. This provides consistency.
2. Budget Budget Budget! Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, and plug this equal pay into it.

Often times your power company will let you do equal pay before having 12 months of usage history.

The one thing is that if you use more than you're paying for, you have to pay the overage at the end of the 12-month cycle, AND your payments increase. So, don't get used to leaving all the lights on!

On the flip side, if you use less, you'll either get a refund or accumulate credits which will lower your next year's payments.

Actually, in 2022 there were 94m barrels produced globally per day. So this is 2%. Statistically, not insignificant. Hopefully it'll continue to grow rapidly.

It's the an extension for Google Passwords? It's my password manager for all my devices.

I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don't want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.

My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!

That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol

I might be mistaken then, but doesn't part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can't throttle unlimited plans?

I used the phone app and started a chat. Here's what I asked, and their response:

I just replied this to another commenter, but that's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.

That's a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi's and Pedophiles is an admonishment of illegal evil.

Your inclusion of Republicans is a bit of an extreme juxtaposition. Feel free to admonish the individual evil views of Republicans, but to discriminate against Republicans purely for their association is rightly against ToS.

T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.

I'm not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they're definitely more expensive. And I wouldn't be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.

You need to opt out of the transition.

In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing "missing" is the definition of which qualities you shouldn't discriminate against. But that's now generalized into "groups of people".

I still can't discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can't discriminate against "pineapple on pizza eaters".

Is community browsing different than community searching? Because Jerboa has Searching.

I'm still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I'll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.

As far as I understand;

A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they're banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.

There's nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.

My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The "Power" button by default does:

• Short Press: Sleep/Wake
• Long Press: Assistant

In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.

The word "radiation" has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean "TOXIC MAGIC AIR". Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).

In this case they're 100% just reducing the gain on the phone's signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.

Not just straight espresso shots. I drink Lattes and Breves. Typically larges, and truly strong (like 4 shots).

Prices have gone up even, but what I just described costs $8.65 at my local Starbucks. But even the cheaper local shops would charge me like $6 nowadays.

Form me personally, I'd have to say my automated espresso machine. For context; I was buying 1-2 coffees from a shop per day (let's say 10/week on average).

Cost me $700 on a sale. Grinds & presses the beans by itself, then pushes boiling water through to give me espresso shots. It paid for itself in 6 months of ownership by weening me off the local shops, and it's lasted for over 6 years so far.

Instead of ~$4.50 per coffee, it's like $24 for a bulk bag of beans at Costco that lasts me 3 weeks, and a carton of half-and-half that lasts me like a month. That's like $180/mo → $35/mo

On Reddit, I was mainly subscribed to a few niche subreddits. By reddit's standards, that's still like 100k subscribers. But over here, even though there might be 1000 people subscribed to those same niche communities, the 90-9-1 rule still applies. Either the community has one super-spammy power user trying to boost life into the community, or there's just no one actually posting anything.

I'm getting enough of a fix to stay on Lemmy and wade out the peace and quiet, but I do long for the engagement of 50k+ users on a truly niche topic. My willingness to stay on Lemmy has been helped by me starting to re-utilize off-site forums specifically to those niches. But I can totally understand how it just feels dead to a lot of the Reddit exodus.
