If only it worked on current generation hardware other than pixel and, iirc, fairphone.

In Singapore, chicken eggs come in packs of 6, 10, 12 (always labelled as having two bonus eggs: 10 + 2), 15, and 30. Duck eggs come in packs of 6. Quail eggs come in cans (NFI how many they include).

Yeah, nah. While copyrights are a problem as they're currently employed, removing them would screw every content creator on the planet. Most of us don't make much as it is, with only a few making a living from our work. Removing copyright would allow anyone to take what we produce without any compensation.

The corporations would love that.

Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."

I use it, as both a reader and a publisher, but rss (in particular) could do with an update.

While it's often attributed to Churchill, it most likely originated from Abba Eban.

America always does the right thing. After it has tried everything else.

Also way harder to propagate mis/disinformation to push an agenda. I personally see that as a benefit and not something I want to see changed.

Because Mastodon proved to be too hard for them to figure out. They couldn't work out which instance to use. Then they couldn't work out who to follow. Some people need to be spoon fed.

Perhaps I'm too tired to understand your meaning here (it's late), but blockchain isn't crypto currency. It's a distributed ledger, and was around long before crypto. It's not completely immutable either as the hard fork of Ethereum proved.

Blockchain could be used to record energy transactions, but the question is why would you want to? What benefit does it add?

Btw homeowners in parts of Australia are already receiving credits for the excess solar power they generate. There's no need to manufacture a new system to enable that functionality.

Once again, I'm tired. Perhaps I've misunderstood your reasoning.

I don't know. I think the way he's alienating people, sooner or later he's going to annoy the wrong person and end up finding himself falling out a window.

Just a thought. An observation, not a prediction or a threat.

Yes, there's a decent (albeit bare bones) Android client. The web interface is about to have a major update, but at the moment is pants.

I'm bridging my main Mastodon account with bluesky, but I'm fully expecting this service to disappear soon enough. I remember when Twitter, Facebook, and a bunch of other sites allowed crossposting until someone realised they were driving traffic away from their own site and shut it down. I think it was Facebook. I can't remember. Same is likely to happen here, or they'll charge an exorbitant fee for API access like Reddit. For now though, it kinda works.

A15 + 5g both have a headphone jack and can be unlocked apparently. Probably the A25 versions too.

Singapore has apartments above some of the MRT stations, which also usually have a mall attached. Presuming the noise dampening was sufficient, I'd move into one of those in a heartbeat. It'd make shopping and dining out much easier.

And how many are current? Apart from the pixels, there's nothing available where I live unless you buy second-hand (which has issues of its own).

Apart from the pixels, which current range of phones is supported?

That's great if you have one of the handful of phones supported, but for the rest of us, not so much.

I think your number is probably too low. As a test, use noscript to block all the google assets and see how many sites you can still use. Not many.

Commodore going bankrupt.
