Seems about the same?

Agreed, most of the characters in the book are so flat, and only do things because the plot needed them to do that thing.

The Netflix series managed to make the character’s motivations seem more believable which I appreciated.

If only they had functional data backup and export on non-Android platforms…

I can finally follow ZUCC on Mastodon, at last

I just wish Signal had better history and backup features.

Why not everything? Honestly even 25 years seems too long, make it 10.

Yup. Lest we forget, Android is Linux-based, and it’s the most popular consumer operating system in the world.

I miss AskScienceFiction; it was always fun reading those in-universe answers.

Wow, the level of detail on this theme is really impressive!

As as aside, I didn’t realize that GTK had officially banned theming. That seems…dumb.

IIRC, my dad bought progressives from Zenni and said they were as good as the ones he got from an optician.

That’s the tragedy of the commons, and you’ll find it’s true for basically every possible societal organization.

Not OP, but personally I found their level of micromanagement a bit offputting, such as their deletion of every support-adjacent post.

I think so, I believe you can open them in Books via the Files app on iOS.

Depends on the platform.

If you’re on an Apple device at least, the built-in Books app works great for reading ePub files.
