It’s beautiful 🥲

If slop coding is so great why is everyone so adamant about hiding it from users?

If you’re not willing to disclose something, maybe take that as a hint.

The legacy Hulu/ESPN/(ad free] Disney bundle for $25 (really only $18 with Amex) was my last streaming service. Ads on Disney is going to save me $18 a month, I guess.

I didn’t mean to imply that I recommend Google Photos (I was hoping the emoji would make that clear), only that OP may want to consider an off-site backup as part of their backup solution. Everyone should. Self-hosting Immich is great, easy, free, etc., but it also shifts the failure point of your potentially irreplaceable photos to single hard drive in your possession, subject to the whims of a house fire, earthquake, etc.

Proton Drive for photo storage is a horrible experience, though.

Realistically, are you sure you want to ditch iCloud? I know this is a privacy and not a data hoarding community, but even though I self-host Immich, Google Photos (🤮) is still the off-site part of my 3-2-1 backup solution.

Not complaining about Motorola, just about flagship phones in general. I assume (incorrectly, maybe?) that the vast majority of people use their phones for light browsing, social media, etc. and don’t need flagship features. Having to pay a flagship premium would suck… especially when all I really want is my Pixel 4a5g back lol.

I feel like every few years there’s a new Linux smartphone but the tech doesn’t seem to be there yet from a user standpoint. I think the most recent I saw was the Volla Phone Quintus running Ubuntu Touch, and Waydroid seemed like a nightmare.

Reject Convienence documented their time with dumb phone. I’m sure some people could pull it off, but I can’t even get mail at my apartment without scanning a barcode. Plus barcode tickets, QR codes, 2FA…

Assuming MTE makes a comeback in future generations…

Nah that’s just Go Hands.

Why don’t the US and Iran, the two countries that nominally want peace, simply bomb Israel into submission?

Realistically, I don’t think there’s much online browsing you can do with 2GB of RAM. The websites themselves will be as much of a bottleneck as the browser.
