Hey if Gabe wants to make Linux phones something to be taken seriously I’m all for that. Until then, Gemini creeps me the fuck out so no android. I can tolerate Siri being fucking dumb.
From what little I know about Gabe, it’s seems he doesn’t want to be the center of attention at valve. He wants Steam to the center of attention. It’s a smart play as we are seeing more and more people turning on techbros and their cult leader status’.
That’s actually not a bad idea. Netflix can certainly afford it, though I have to wonder how the audience members would be sourced for such a thing. Streaming seems to working out fine for John Oliver over on…whatever HBO identifies as nowadays.
Here’s the thing I suspect they will use to wriggle out from under this: the constitution says you can’t jail someone simply for affiliation with a person or organization. You have to have evidence they committed an actual crime.
And since evidence doesn’t matter anymore, there’s nothing we can do. Nothing legally anyway.
My cat cost my insurance company whatever they paid my doctor to write a note to tell my landlord I wouldn’t be paying a pet deposit equal to a months rent (non-refundable) and pet rent.
She seemed annoyed by the whole thing but unsurprised. Apparently part of her job is to write the landlords fuck you notes.

Carrier stuff isn’t an option on iPhone in the USA. It’s been that way since the beginning and one of the reasons only AT&T was willing to play ball when it launched. Carriers here who want to sell iPhones have to sign a contract with Apple and one of the terms of that contract is they can’t push carrier bloat automatically to customers iPhones. They can promote or incentivize those things but they cannot just push apps to your phone.
You can remove any non essential app that comes with iOS just fine. As for reinstalls, some are pretty quick because rather than completely deleting an app, iOS has the ability to offload it. So when you reinstall, it pulls your old settings and data for the app from the cloud rather than making you enter things again.
I finally made the switch to a credit union. I had them for years for my car loans, but never really bothered using them for my primary checking account. After some recent terrible calls to Huntington bank, I decided to just move everything over to my credit union and close the bank account.
So far it’s much better. The rates are better. The customer service is better trained and understands what I’m trying to say (as well as english.) The website and app are far better. There’s also a recession coming and I felt it was better to use a credit union than a bank anyway.
I have been wanting to do this for a while and just never made a priority of it until after my last few calls I had to Huntington and that just signaled it was time to leave.
no, theres tons you cannot control in android that you can with apple. Cell carrier wants to push bullshit apps to your phone that you don't want? They do that with android but they cant with apple. Want to delete social media apps? Apple lets you do that. Android doesn't always let you. You can sometimes disable an app but it can be turned back on remotely and that happens all the time. Want open shit? NEITHER are good. Android pretended to be open for years to help it gain interest and help with rapid adoption since they had to catch up to apple, but they keep chipping away at it. Now they have gemini surveilling everything you do on device, even if turned off, and the only hope is to flash another rom. That isnt an option for every phone either and even when it is, it frequently results in lost functionality like games and banking apps and tap to pay not working.
Google could have made android great. they should have. they did not go down that direction.
Probably. reddit has tons of content from back when humans were the dominant posters there and that comes up in search results. I can see a future where text searches will turn up reddit posts much like image searches flood you with pinterest shit.
