    Americans don’t learn about John Brown

    Horseshit.

    I learned about him in public school 40 years ago, and so have both my kids more recently. My 8th grade class visited Harper’s Ferry.

    edit: It would be accurate enough if you qualified it saying “some Americans dont learn about Brown.” Trying to make it a sweeping generalization is horseshit, presumably aimed at being inflammatory.




  • Different countries have different providers, use different radio frequencies, etc and thus have different hardware and so on. Phones made for a particular market might not function well (or at all) in another market. This has historically been a barrier to cross-border adoption, though it has gotten a bit better in recent years.















  • I mean, 7A was never a flagship, so it isnt shocking the thing doesnt impress. IMO, the A Pixels are just adequate. And that is how they are positioned. They are literally “midrange” for a reason.

    My partner liked her 6A well enough, but she isnt a techie with a bazillion things going on it. And now the battery is nerfed a bit, but I guess that’s the breaks with older devices.

    I like my 8 Pro well enough. I do wish it weren’t so thick, but that is mostly battery so it feels worth it. Other than that, I could wish it had a removable battery, headphone jack, IR, hell even a stylus. But again all those things would add up to being way less battery life, huge, etc.

    All that said, if I felt like I had better choices, I would ditch Pixel and never look back. I am really only on this thing for GrapheneOS and the relockable bootloader. I require control over my own device. Everything else is way lower priority.
