Sure looks like I can get an Uber in Minneapolis today. I can’t get past the login page to see if I can actually request a ride but the web page is still there, indicating that Uber is still in Minneapolis

The OS is in between the service and the bare metal. Something like OPNsense can be said to be running on bare metal because the OS and the firewall service are so intertwined. However, something like firewalld isn’t running on the bare metal because it’s just a service of the operating system.

That’s how I understand it anyway, I’m not a pro

but the UI is substantially better than Android

For children and drunks, maybe.

For someone in Russia, the impermanence might be a desirable feature. I mean, there’s always still IRC but Discord is all the rage these days.

Get off my lawn.

Colorado House Bill 21-1229 is law here now, maybe your state can pass a bill like it too?

They are (I) voters that are likely to vote (D) in the general and there is a serious attempt to ratfuck Trump in NH by getting these left leaning (I) voters to vote Haley in the ® primary.

So… this fake robocall is an Uno reverse card ratfuck trying to get those people to stay home.

Or Coloradans shooting Texans at the Oklahoma border.

That little panhandle that Texas had to cede in order to join the union as a slave state could be the DMZ.

A boy can dream, I suppose.

Holy shit hasn’t even paid his taxes for three years.

Fuck this guy, if I don’t pay my taxes for one year I get love letters from the IRS.

Great marketing in the leadup to Xmas. It worked on me, I wanted to get my wife an apple watch for the holiday and when I saw this news I pulled the trigger instantly.

Nice timing, Apple. You dicks.

Wait until you hear about luxury watches

Same reason I don’t ask people what they think about my work while I’m doing it, it’s a pain in the ass.

Some skinny dude in a Guy Fawkes mask sneaks in through the dog door and turns up the heat while you’re at work

myanonamouse rocks. I think it’s just an interview to get in still. Trivial to build ratio.

I use Calibre for management. It’s a little clunky but it manages thousands of titles easily, probably tens of thousands.

log into your google account in aurora

Yeah, no deal. Google login does not touch this phone. It’s just how I like it.

USB C Port is a little looser than I would like

Maybe yours is one that barely passed QC. That’s one of the replaceable modules though right? Might be worth contacting CS about.

Also I have not been able to purchase any paid apps

It’s the same on my Pixel 6a with CalyxOS and the Aurora Store (anonymous access to Play Store). We simply cannot get a paid Play Store app to work without logging into Google. I can get my bank app, local transit app, firefox, bitwarden, etc from there as well as what I’ve settled on for driving nav, HereWeGo.

That’s TomTom’s free nav app and it appears to get it’s traffic info from the commercial solutions TomTom provides to truckers (paid service for them). It’s good enough, but I do miss Google Maps sometimes. I like it better than Apple Maps.

Most everything else is handled through FDroid and the apps are decent to great, no show stoppers. I don’t use it for much that would leak privacy on the app side besides banking, browsing and navigation though. It’s not for everyone.

The only way I can think of to use paid apps is to pay the developer directly and then sideload. I don’t even know if any devs do that.

As long as /e/os hangs tough my next phone will probably be a FairPhone, I really dig the philosophy and repairability.

a public health doctor looked up the man’s electronic medical records, discovering that in January of 2022 he had gone to a hospital emergency department for ulcerative genital and anal lesions. At the time, he was treated for a presumed herpes infection—but his herpes test was negative and he was not tested for syphilis.

Has what is assumed to be herpes but IS NOT TESTED FOR SYPHILIS.

What the fuck are they doing in Michigan? Dude has what appears to be herpes on his dick and ass, the sample tests negative for herpes and you don’t test the sample for every STD known to mankind?
