  • Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware

    Jump

  • HW is mid at best and overpriced

    GOS has strict security requirements and so far Pixels have been the only devices out there that both allow GOS installation and meet their security requirements. Simple as.

    Personally apart from repairability, I see very little meaningful difference in phone hardware these days. And a series Pixels are very reasonably priced.

  • Unfortunately the first device from this partnership is unlikely to be cheaper than the a series Pixel lineup. The GrapheneOS team already confirmed it will have a flagship snapdragon SOC. Have you looked into used a series Pixel devices? The 8a can be had refurbished in the low $200 range, and it will have software support for 5 more years. The 9a can be had for about $250 and will receive 6 more years of updates.

  • GOS already confirmed it's shipping with a flagship snapdragon SOC so it won't be a budget device. Maybe a future model though.

    I think most of those other features are a long shot as well. The GOS team hasn't really specified any preferences for non-security related features and I doubt Motorola would suddenly change their hardware design/direction.

    The people who believe "progressiveness is just a fad that one grows out of" are the same people that grew up getting brainwashed into regressive politics. The belief is only true for them.

  • Interesting podcast on this subject: https://srslywrong.com/podcast/ep-346-does-parenting-make-you-more-conservative/

    The conclusion they come to is that becoming more conservative with age generally only applies to low information apolitical people who are sort of vaguely left leaning when they're young. As they age they become more entrenched in the system, acquire more wealth, etc, and those vaguely conservative ideas they had in the back of their minds become more pronounced. There's also the overton window shifts that may mean someone who thought of themselves as vaguely liberal in the past may now consider themselves socially conservative in the current climate.

  • The OP on Reddit literally admits they didn't look at the crossing in their post lol and this is what we're focusing on? In the fuck cars community? Watch the video. There's no way that would have played out any differently even in broad daylight. And no amount of vigilance would have helped that pedestrian.

  • Literally "look at what she was wearing. She was asking for it!"

    Obviously, it's a good idea to look out for giant hulking death machines when your environment is crawling with them. That in no way means the blame should be focused on the victims of the death machines. Fucking car brains.

    Also I just watched the video and I would be very surprised if that situation would have been any different even in broad daylight. Cars regularly make turns like that without looking for pedestrians at all. The OP even admits that they didn't look properly at the crossing in the post.

  • Ad-blocking is piracy, and that's okay

    Jump

  • Piracy is not stealing/theft. That is a corporate lie.

  • Downvoted cause I agree. Adblock is based and so is piracy.

  • Ads are an unwanted local infection that brings malware and brainwash people. Blocking ads is the sane behavior

    ? I agree but that doesn't make it not piracy. Are you implying piracy is not sane behavior?

  • only drive rarely and when I essentially have to, or in the winter because my local bike infrastructure is seasonal.

    You should look into studded bike tires. I was in a similar situation but figured out how to ride in the winter even in my town that completely half asses snow removal. Sold my car and started using uber/lyft and an hourly car rental service (zipcar) to fill in the gaps. I've saved thousands of dollars in no time and now I don't have to maintain a car anymore.

  • If you ditched your car, could you afford to leave the suburbs for a great urban neighborhood?

    Jump

  • Yes I think I probably should have sold it as soon as I stopped using it to commute. I was mostly just ignorant of all the alternatives to car ownership. Car ownership is not worth it in my opinion unless you truly need to use it several days out of the week every week. And people should be doing pretty much everything they can to avoid being in that situation.

  • Maybe i am out of touch because we own our car outright, but its not nearly that expensive for us. Even with a parking spot rental.

    Try adding in the cost of depreciation and it makes a lot more sense. I owned a used car for 10 years and didn't commute using it for most of that time, so it didn't even rack up that many miles. It still cost me over $500/month on average over that time period including depreciation, maintenance, gas, registration, and insurance. I'm sure it would be a lot more if I drove as much as the average american. Though I think the average is probably somewhat skewed towards the most expensive cars.

    Needless to say I am now happily car free. $500/month can buy me a very nice ebike, as well as more taxis or hourly car rentals than I need.
