Yeah. The linked Mastodon thread by GrapheneOS mentions them potentially making a phone themselves. I’d love if they partnered with fairphone to build it. Though it sounds like we’d need to accept a higher price than a standard fairphone.
MFW I’m on my 3rd vodka redbull of the night but “I’m not an alcoholic.”
I bet the frame rate is fine. Response time is the potential issue. I bet it’d reel like frequently pausing an audiobook with old bluetooth earbuds, which is to say vaguely usable.
I use Aurora store and Fdroid on it. Funny considering direct play store is a selling point of theirs. I mostly use it as an ereader but it’s also my work phone since intune doesn’t play nice with grapheneos. Being able to fit my ereader in a pocket has been amazing. I rarely leave home without it
Nah. I love my palma 2 and can do plenty with it if you accept no cell phone capabilities it’s great. I don’t see the appeal of a device with worse refresh rate, a keyboard that needlessly eats screen space, and UI that doesn’t trust you as a user.
Edit: I suspect people are reacting without knowing wtf a palma 2 is, lol.
Even if they do this, I wouldn’t be averse to a less on demand version of youtube. 3rd party apps will let you load a number of videos for later viewing. Would probably help me consume media more responsibly and youtube has to deal with the additional resources needed to serve all the videos I didn’t wind up watching after all.
We’ve got shirts for this in Salt Lake City. They read “SL,UT”

Fuck the premise of “full employment.” As if having an income that supports you is some binary fact of job or no job. What about shitty job with an exploitative organization the federal government has permitted to become an oligopoly?
It’s better for the politicians wallets.
The XJ taco holder is superior.
Seriously. This thought occurred to me the other day when I plugged my power bank into a car’s charging port to check the wattage and wondered “why the fuck can’t my phone just do this by default?” Do we actually not trust people to understand higher number = faster?
Seriously fucking sick of hearing stats about numbers of jobs that completely disregard their quality.
Made me check for my home state of Utah. But looks like they require a “substantial portion” or 1/3 of content on a site to be porn. source Looks like we all need to get busy posting tits to twitter for the good of the children.
Anyone noticed a pricing difference with “local” grocers? Obviously there aren’t many left and at least in my area they rely on a regional distributor that’s pretty consolidated. Just curious if they’ve been treating consumers any better.
Apparently I’m dyslexic enough that I read this twice thinking “what’s the joke?”
Got the text about the increase and it’s definitely nail in the coffin for me. I’ve confirmed that I don’t need much data even with forgetting to reconnect to wifi.
Strangely found myself tempted towards Helium Mobile since it’s 20 bucks for “unlimited” with 30GB of high speed. But of course it’s a crypto product… I’d been planning to wait til they release a feature to supposedly cryptographically protect against SIM swap attacks here. Assuming it checks out for security I’d consider it a decent extra benefit. Thoughts?
edit: forgot to mention they’re a tmobile mvno. so not exactly completely getting away from them.
I do not fear becoming homeless. The state should fear my homelessness as it will only signify the next phase of my radicalization.
Yes, this is a tragic and complex way to have averted a mass shooting but that appears to be what happened. After being shot non-critically it appears the shooter lost their nerve, threw their rifle in a bag and tried to run/rejoin the crowd.
I’ve been bracing myself for the disgusting politics to hit. Like I can feel right wing pundits hand wringing to show the armed protesters ‘have no idea how to handle guns.’
Adding fuel to the fire, we had a shooting last night at a multicultural festival where three were killed, one being 8 months old.
