Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.

Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol

I feel old.

So in your world, journalists and activists trying to bring attention to human rights violations their country’s fascist government is committing in an attempt to bring in good change should be just fucked over right?

Because those governments label those people as “criminals” when they’re objectively not.

Being an ambivert is nice lol

I think so because of this

But experts like Brucher suggest that most voters have already made up their minds and that the election outcome is “really more about turnout” now.

Which means, Brucher said, that “Democrats really can’t afford to alienate organized labor.”

The strike couldn’t happen at a more perfect time IMO, I hope every worker gets the raises they want!

105 gigs is nothing, you can get a 1TB external drive for ~60$

I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder

What’s wrong with that‽ Join us on the dark side (according to giant corporations anyways), we have milk and cookies!

Just a simple lowly troll, nothing of importance to see here

Yes, that’s what everyone wants, but the “industry leaders” are now multi-billion dollar companies

Guaranteed they also want subtle language in any such bills to make things harder for the average joe to break into the industry. That’s what they do, latch on to common things people want and twist things to benefit them

Frankly, fuck the “industry leaders” it used to be a bunch of small time to MAYBE medium sized owners, now it’s a bunch of corporate bastards at the top (the so called industry leaders) like so many other industries

I bet they’re all pissy because they aren’t getting their demands that probably have something to do like making it harder for small time people to get in on the industry

Start using modern non chemical methods.

Yes! Let’s start with targeting human biting species of mosquitos and make them extinct!

This is the way

? I don’t understand your comment, was it meant for a reply for a different comment?

I thought lightning bugs laid eggs in water?

Depends on how you look at it, T-Mobile requires that all phones that are Jumped remain in good condition so that they can be resold at a good discount to others or shipped off to their phone insurance company to be issued out to people whose similar phone broke and they make a claim

So it’s not like they get shipped back and thrown away, and I do always have the option to just not return the phone and continue to make the payments on it and then I can pass it down to a family member or just keep it as a backup. Which I have done in the past.

I just measured a couple videos with a tape measure lmao

So the typical video Fullscreen is about 6.69 inches almost the size of the iPhone 15 Pro Max at 6.7, unfolded. I should have measured my PF1 the same way while I had it LMAO

The irony is the old school squareish 4:3 videos are WAY bigger (just a hair over 7) so retro emulation is probably great on it LMAO

So its not taking full advantage of the screen size, but you’re still able to enjoy media at a size that most can only enjoy on their phone if they can handle the absolute biggest phones

That being said, that’s really one use case, for me the biggest reasons to unfold has been accessing remote desktops, reading, productivity and some gaming and “remotely remote working” lol

Do you really think people say things like sailing the digital sea to avoid persecution? Just say whatever sounds cool to you

I’ve seen the same, but tbh in real world use on my Pixel 9 Pro Fold even with the big black bars on a full screen video it still feels like quite a large viewable area

Nah, here in the US the majority of people buy through their carrier and typically put them on a 0% interest Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) that break the cost to a monthly payment typically spanning 2 years.

The carriers also have an upgrade path, for me on T-Mobile when the phone is 50% paid (so once a year) I can turn in this phone and upgrade. The remaining balance gets wiped and replaced by the new phone. Other US carriers should be similar.

I typically upgrade once a year

I don’t get the obsession over the crease, things that fold generally have creases. As long as it’s not distorting things (which IME it doesn’t and is hardly noticeable when in use anyways) it’s fine
