It's not like Trump would have done so either. It would be mostly same as things are now but likely slightly fewer rights. It sucks to need to choose between 2 bad options but there's certainly a difference in who they would fill their administrations with so still worth voting for the less bad option imo.

Exactly this. Lower resolution and added compression. You could click to view full version if needed, but this was a feature as it meant faster loading and a small fraction of the data usage.

And despite being designed to run on potatoes with a 2G connection it somehow felt just as smooth as modern mobile browsers (at least as I remember it). It's crazy how well it worked considering the hardware and network limitations of the time.

Anything over $100k is plenty to live, travel, and invest with if you don't plan on having kids. There's a point where it's time and experiences that are more valuable than the money, so I'd prefer fewer working hours or more engaging work than simply just salary increases. I'm certainly happy to receive bonuses and raises, but as an engineer who has never made under $100k/yr the money doesn't change anything about the way I live and enjoy life (note that I don't have expensive tastes and carefully watch for lifestyle creep).

AA is the last United States based airline to even have one. This move is an industry-wide trend now that lie-flat business class seats are standard. Business class has gotten much nicer in the past 10 years and taken away the customers that previously would have flown in first.

I'd rather fly Qatar qsuites or many other si-enclosed business class seats than the first class ones remaining on European airlines like British Airways, Lufthansa, of air France. And doing so is a fraction of the price.

In regard to abortion the outcome certainly would have been different had she won the election. Trump put 3 anti-abortion and strongly right wing justices on the Supreme court directly leading to this outcome.

Obviously like other mainstream Democrats there's a ton to be desired in policy, but the whole point of this post is that it is still important to vote even if it's the lesser evil.

I'd argue we're at the point where that would be a good business move too. It wouldn't fix my main issue of but allowing 3rd party repairs so I wouldn't buy one, but I know several people who have bought other brands due to Elon.

Wow what a website. I love how much they talk about the 180 day playbook but give absolutely zero mention to anything that is in it. I wonder why...

The Galaxy A5x series is excellent value. It's not the absolute cheapest but for ~$300 there's nothing it does wrong. I've used a Galaxy A52 (older 4g version) for the last 2 years without any issues. Before that I stuck to Umidigi phones in the ~$120-$150 range which were all great except for the cameras.

Over Christmas I won a Pixel 8 Pro giveaway but except for in the lowest lighting conditions the difference is insignificant to my eye. I actually really miss some of the Samsung software features (namely secure folder and free-form windows).

Having a cheaper phone is also freeing to treat them less gently. I often found myself taking photos I might not otherwise due to the fact all my prior phones were so cheap. I'm not about to hold my Pixel 8 Pro out over a cliff, but for the Umidigi phones and Galaxy A52 that was no problem when traveling.

Ya I used to always tip cash but stopped all food delivery entirely ~5yr ago. By turning food delivery into a live auction everybody loses except the company running the service. Drivers compete against eachother accepting the absolute lowest fees while customers need to play the game of choosing an appropriate tip for a prompt delivery while also ideally not shorting the employee who ultimately accepts the order. But since to accept the order they need to compete with other drivers it's naturally going to lead to them accepting lower prices, allowing the delivery company to pocket the difference. Not a good system.

For the average user it may have it may not be their preferred option but it's certainly a competitor. Lemmy is pretty much a drop in replacement to the point that several third party Reddit apps at least for Android have simply modified their api calls to use lemmy rather than Reddit.

There's not quite as much content but it already appears to be enough to be sustainable which is the most important part. And you can bet that whenever Reddit next messes up there will be further migration.

At the right price I'd definitely like a foldable. Certainly many people would prefer the smaller form factor at the right price/durability. The durability constraints are largely solved now, so the main concern is pricing.
