Minding privacy and driving a car in 2025 is like jumping up because you realize you forgot to water your plants right after you’ve clicked the euthanasia button.

Everything in the universe is moving away from us.

Frok now on, I’m gonna attribute it to Christianity.

Nice monologue, kiddo, I’m sure an inattentive American might’ve bought into that, but you’ve happened to send this crap to a USSR-born Russian. XD

I’m sorry, comrade, your allegedly-so-great-grandma was never “illegally dissolved”, she got into so much debt she committed suicide.

Oh, so will you pay the delta to the uncooperative countries to switch to renewables? No? Then we’ll have to do the real expensive thing: both.

Oh. Then lemme just wish you that whatever is that thing you’re having over there never heats up to a degree to that’d make you reconsider what “can’t travel” means. And yeah, phones, those you can just import.

How many years of your salary does an airplane ticket cost? How many countries even ask you for a visa? Guess what, you absolutely can.

Than asking for a password for a password? Yes. Than yesterday? Hardly.

Hold your horses. You want someone to build a service where you’d register, with a new separate set of credentials, so that you’d synchronize your email password between devices?

Well, I have to admit that this idea of having a password synchronize yourself another password becomes much more practical if you tweak it just a little bit and manage all your passwords with just one. In fact, Mozilla has one. It’s called Firefox Sync. I’d still recommend to use a real password manager like pass and either git or syncthing for synchronizing the underlying data.

I hope that’s a sound of you GTFOing out of the USA to pretty much anywhere else, where Samsungs have and always had unlocked bootloaders. =)

The moment you replace it. You get to keep the awesome hardware.

Oh yes, Samsung’s software always needs replacing, but it’s easier to install better software on a Samsung than wait for better hardware in a Pixel. Where’s the Pixel with a stylus? That’s a 2011 Samsung feature. 4K video output? My 2019 Samsung can drive 4K. Meanwhile Pixel owners are squealing they got any video output last year, another feature coming 13 years late. And of course Auracast will make Samsung’s dual Bluetooth output obsolete quicker than Pixel engineers would recognize that people sometimes listen to things together.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to daily-drive a Pixel. GrapheneOS sounds nice and the KVM is something I’d love to play with. But for decades I’ve watched Pixels hardware to improve while Samsung lost features, hoping Pixels will catch up. If it wasn’t for Folds, they’d be only another decade away from hardware feature parity with 2011 Samsungs, but now there are Folds and here we go again.

Those Zebras that are, like, 1/8 of the volume of what the median pen in this thread is gonna be. I’m not here to pinch hoses 5x their cartridge diameter, half of their length hanging out for nothing, I’m just trying to write. Any non-zero thickness works for that.

The ahem would Thunderbird Sync do, LOL.

Oh wow, I’ve abandoned Thumbkey on a Fold, but I didn’t know of Flickboard.

Can you run your code on it?

I hope the companion app will be Gadgetbridge.

Woo! Took them just a decade to realize the smart stuff in the stylus is bullshit and go back to passive inductives? I’m so happy it happened.

Passive inductive styluses: have touch force, angle, button(s) Active inductive styluses: have touch force, angle, button(s), the selfie button, extra thickness, extra weight and an extra battery to manage.
