Not knowing what I want out of life. Including whether to break off the nine-year, kind of dysfunctional relationship I've been in (neither option feels good).

The Pixel Tablet can run GrapheneOS, which is the best stock Android alternative IMO

Great project, just donated

The US has a pretty severe urban / rural divide in most of its states, but I don't think it's enough. You'd usually need a pretty clean split along territorial lines for that.

Bald. Being bald looks cool, no shame in it whatsoever.

Long walks, swimming and playing drums

Minus the sandboxing and security improvements, apparently

I could handle an overpriced phone if the device were viable for day-to-day use. Unfortunately the battery life is so compromised that even if we had a totally flawless mobile OS running on it, it still wouldn't work out as a phone.

In this case it's better to think of it as a development platform.

Japan's urban design is pretty excellent as well, for different reasons

Will try that out, thanks! I've enjoyed the Libby app a lot on an old ipad mini, bet they have a similar infinite scroll feature somewhere

Haven't listened to any, but think I'd have a hard time hearing someone talk for that long. Really enjoy the silence of books

Reading novels (or just fiction, in general). Not sure why but I simply lost the ability to do it a few years ago. Still like to read a couple of nonfiction books every month, but feel like I'm missing something lately

Ideally I'd have access to both- i.e., a 'home base' in the city, plus a small place to stay out in the woods somewhere, preferably less than 20 mins on foot from a commuter train. Continuing to avoid driving would be great

What's the advantage vs. the current version?

Also looks like it's removing an important visual affordance (i.e., which areas you can click to drag the window), unless I'm misinterpreting it

Just a heads up, here in the states I haven't been able to use a OP6 as an actual phone- without VoLTE working on t-mobile yet, all incoming calls go straight to voicemail:

Might want to look into what the situation is with your carrier, or if there's a workaround for you. Think as soon as this is fixed, it could actually work as a daily phone for me (aside from the missing camera)

Please just realize any article about Sarah Palin is basically clickbait. She has nothing of substance to offer, and no one is more informed after hearing her hot takes

Basic functions like web browsing are borderline unusable on the OG pinephone, unfortunately. Still a fun device to hack away at, but I wouldn't use it as a phone

Almost enough to make you question why this guy was allowed to have a gun.

Be careful, though, because if you follow that train of thought to its logical conclusion (e.g., by suggesting any kind of restrictions on killing devices, or maybe even a vetting process), it means you support totalitarianism.

No, at least not in countries (e.g., the USA) that rely on the state to micromanage every aspect of zoning, and which therefore allow NIMBYs to derail progress at every possible step.

In a better world we would draft new laws to throw out our entire zoning system, and start over with something much more flexible at the state or national level- ideally based on the approach Japan uses, which defaults to mixed-use for every building and makes NIMBYism structurally impossible.

No. Actors are participating in storytelling, and 'evil' characters are just an exercise in symbolism and mythmaking.
