Its a mess honestly. Sanity checking myself, 5a was larger, 6a and 7a were smaller. There was also a 3a and 3a xl. Lol

Seems the only consistency is inconsistency.

I wouldn’t hold out too much hope on that. I started on a pixel 1 then a 3xl (both had power button fingerprint sensors that were awesome) then moved to a 5, 6 and 7 with in screen readers. They’re all crap. I gave up using the one on my 7 almost entirely.

Google can’t seem to get that part figured out. It is exacerbated on custom ROM’s in my experience as well (Graphene mainly on the 7).

Currently using a flip6 with power button reader and it was a revelation going back to a working fingerprint reader.

Nope. The “a” series Pixels are generally a mid-cycle refresh targeted at the budget. Similar to the iPhone Mini or 16e on Apples side.

I missed out on the 1st gen pebble but had a buddy who loved his. Y’all may be talking me in to checking this new one out.

And agreed on the pine faces. I’ve been of half a mind to learn how to make them so I could have more variety.

I think we’ve been pressure cooked as a country (speaking as an American as that’s my only real, long term reference) and maybe a society thanks to social media to amplify thay hate and outrage.

If its any small consolation, I think the communities around here are hurt and frustrated and learning how to express thay and navigate it in a space where immediate censorship isn’t as likely too occur.

Its a lot like the way we used to stretch our legs and push boundaries in the early Internet days. It wasn’t easy to get mod banned on most irc servers, but it did happen. In between those moments though, you could get away with saying some vile stuff.

Don’t take it to heart, take it as a vent in a place where we are somewhat protected from the hate speech the other side slings.

In my real life I’m much more sympathetic. Even to the point of empathy exhaustion. But when it’s strangers online exponentially far away from me on the Dunbar scale, I laugh, ridicule and taunt.

This is my relief. Same way I’ll text a buddy and shit on him when his team is getting crushed in a game.

Empathy and class warfare are locked in a timeless battle anymore, but I think there’s still room to point at fucking idiots and enjoy their suffering. After all, they’d do the same for us.

For anyone looking for a similar device in the interim (long battery, open source) the PineTime is a great device.

Heck yeah. Thanks friend!

Consider me subscribed in advance.

I feel like we need a c/letsnotmakethispolitical to track these

Oh man, watched this a few weeks ago. So, I’m a huge Beastmaster fan (was my #1 childhood film) and Cranston is impeccable always, but….

I’ll give this movie one compliment, it was like 75 minutes long.

Definitely an artifact of its time.

We call that doing lines around these parts.

With this and the Day One Steam Deck, it really shows us what the future of gaming could have been.

Now give me a uplay - crossplay license for PC, Xbox and PS4/5 (with streaming licenses for geforcenow, Xbox Cloud and PS-Whatever it is) and I’d day 1, Ultimate-Deluxe-Gold w/ Season One Season Pass that shit.

They won’t. But we could have lived there instead of the land of minimal effort, 4th rate headline grabs of desperation. Instead the Guillemots (let’s all agree to name and shame multimillionaires from here on out, every chance we get) angle their golden chutes away from the impact zone as the company puts all it’s underpaid, non-unionized dev teams hopes and dreams of eating this summer against a bloated budget and assembly lined “creative decisions”.

Lucked in to a 5080fe through the Nvidia lottery (and it comes with 2 cases of soylent yellow!). This may be the 2nd thing I fire up after Cyberpunk.

Julie Christmas is a personal favorite.

The Battle of Mice records are harrowing (content warning for DV). Made Out of Babies was incredible as well. Same for her work with Cult of Luna. Some really, really unique vocals there.

My personal favorite is the Spylacopa Self Titled record. That album was a great blending of styles and guest artists, but Julie’s work stands out.

Do you have F-Droid installed? Not to pull a docker, but it is opening for me on 2 separate devices.

IronFox is the closest alternative. F-Droid repo here:

That’s just like, your opinion man.

Having honest conversations with my partner about this currently.

This typo is amazing. Please do not edit.
