I used a Jolla when it was new. It was pretty decent, and in fact had many innovations. Apple brought gestures to their OS several years after. It was one of the first implementations of a phone UI implement on Wayland, and one of the first serious Linux non-Android phones. Might still be.

Unfortunately, being a pioneer does not always help. Application developers didn't get interested in it enough so it never really got any apps.

I wish they could implement the parts of the Pixel phones that allow GrapheneOS to be used.

I posted an amused and positive comment on the orange site about this and in 2 minutes got a threat about me getting hanged in the near future. Tech bros be panicing.

Oh fuck off. The greatest opportunity to shine some light on the darkest sewer of humanity and this is the bullshit we get?

I hope it gets way better.

Can somebody explain to me a thing about anti-feminism: as a 99.5% cishet standard regular manly man man, even from an extremely cold, selfish, objective, all-for-me approach I cannot understand what I stand to gain by this. What's the point?

I love how Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Saga (2004) opens up with this. But also funny how the inventors of the tech were such douchebags that they casually used it to just be there when the first mission to Mars landed. But hey, at least they didn't have to do the return trip.

Fuck off, The White House.

There's some justification for this idea since the people who buy the products advertised by ads are the source of the money that goes to the producers of the videos.

I wonder if Tim Cook is there too. It would make sense for him and Apple to resist this at least somehow but...

The relationship between actual 1930s nazis and the arab world was kind of complex for obvious geopolitical reasons, but Palestinians pretty much generally denounced nazis. Also back when it might've been good strategy not to.

I stand corrected. I guess some people do think we're there.

Personally, I don't think we're close yet, but there could exist a better system where we'd at least be closer.

More like post-scarcity. I don't think even the wildest leftist thinks we're quite there yet.

0. Paper cheques was a close one, but I actually paid a house once with a cheque. And the local video rental wasn't called Blockbusters, obviously.

If cars are better than horses, why do horses still exist? Checkmate evolutionist

Nah, not the first.

Not what, who. He's the protagonist of True Detective S1.

Germany has to pump out these messages because they live so far from the critical border. It's easy to not understand the risk.

I'd rather that he lives to see all his sick imperial dreams crushed.
