Yeah. The linked Mastodon thread by GrapheneOS mentions them potentially making a phone themselves. I’d love if they partnered with fairphone to build it. Though it sounds like we’d need to accept a higher price than a standard fairphone.

MFW I’m on my 3rd vodka redbull of the night but “I’m not an alcoholic.”

I bet the frame rate is fine. Response time is the potential issue. I bet it’d reel like frequently pausing an audiobook with old bluetooth earbuds, which is to say vaguely usable.

I use Aurora store and Fdroid on it. Funny considering direct play store is a selling point of theirs. I mostly use it as an ereader but it’s also my work phone since intune doesn’t play nice with grapheneos. Being able to fit my ereader in a pocket has been amazing. I rarely leave home without it

Nah. I love my palma 2 and can do plenty with it if you accept no cell phone capabilities it’s great. I don’t see the appeal of a device with worse refresh rate, a keyboard that needlessly eats screen space, and UI that doesn’t trust you as a user.

Edit: I suspect people are reacting without knowing wtf a palma 2 is, lol.

Even if they do this, I wouldn’t be averse to a less on demand version of youtube. 3rd party apps will let you load a number of videos for later viewing. Would probably help me consume media more responsibly and youtube has to deal with the additional resources needed to serve all the videos I didn’t wind up watching after all.

Hot pockets are evil. Why can you eat an infinite amount of them and never feel full?

The fact that none of us had to click to know what the article is about speaks for itself.

Seriously. This thought occurred to me the other day when I plugged my power bank into a car’s charging port to check the wattage and wondered “why the fuck can’t my phone just do this by default?” Do we actually not trust people to understand higher number = faster?

Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a “substantial portion” or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.

Just to clarify: what are some of your specific complaints with bad information? I ask because I’ve been trying to fill in business hours and other info you might find on g maps for my city, and it’s definitely challenging. My new pet peeve is just how many businesses don’t bother listing their hours anywhere but proprietary services. No hours on their website and not even on their front doors.

Got the text about the increase and it’s definitely nail in the coffin for me. I’ve confirmed that I don’t need much data even with forgetting to reconnect to wifi.

Strangely found myself tempted towards Helium Mobile since it’s 20 bucks for “unlimited” with 30GB of high speed. But of course it’s a crypto product… I’d been planning to wait til they release a feature to supposedly cryptographically protect against SIM swap attacks here. Assuming it checks out for security I’d consider it a decent extra benefit. Thoughts?

edit: forgot to mention they’re a tmobile mvno. so not exactly completely getting away from them.

Respectfully I think this is a minimal attack vector in this case due to the limited character set of urls. But thanks for the callout, I didn’t know there was a name for this sort of attack.

RCS worked for me with Google’s messages app and GrapheneOS. Took a bit for it to verify and start working but once it did I had no issues. I’ve since switched to QKSMS and now the only google app on my phone is play store services.

As an american who shops and walks my groceries home like a european, the self checkout is the only option for me. I must have the ability to choose where to put products to keep my bags/backpack balanced to my liking and to prevent bags from failing on my walk home. Stranglely in the us, i risk approaching the “self checkout item limit” which is definitely more social expectation than actually enforced by staff.

A more specific question for you: how often do you encounter scales on self checkouts?

This is an interesting piece of kit, though I’m curious who the target market really is? Frankly I would be more comfortable regularly rotating my hardware security key’s password than I would be manually keying in my 2nd factors pin every time I need to use FIDO2 or TOTP. This would almost appear to be an excessive amount of security for me as an infosec professional which honestly makes me suspect it’s targeted towards a paranoid audience. Not that this wouldn’t have it’s applications. As a backup security key to be stored in a secure location this is definitely intriguing, but I can’t imagine using it on a daily basis.

But they will not stop at any trailheads, just the resorts. Additionally it is unnecessarily expensive to build and ride. Also the additional environmental impact of building and maintaining it rather than using existing roads. It’s purely being built for convenience to reduce traffic in/out of the canyon.

I love living car free with my needs in walking/biking distance. However I feel like the car centric problem runs deeper than basic groceries and transit to work. I live near the gorgeous rocky mountains, but our buses only really run to the ski slopes, and only in winter. It’s a true shame to be so close to nature and have my option for access restricted to a rental car. So naturally there’s a plan to build the worlds largest gondola directly to resorts to address traffic. Cause god forbid we just ran more effective bus service year round.
