This is not sad. Progress is progress.

Good on EU to force their hand, we should be cheering for regulatory agencies making life better for consumers.

I discover the crashed F35 in my lone walk in the woods. As I start to take it apart for parts, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Lockheed. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the feds come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of FBI. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Lockheed to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care, I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the F35

I want ad free YouTube but don't want YouTube music. I don't want to pay for extra shit that I won't be using.

I use Spotify way more than I use YouTube. Spotify does one thing and it does it extremely well.

If Spotify added unlimited free Uber eats delivery tomorrow and bumped up the price to $20 a month, then sure, it'd be a good deal but I wouldn't want any of that.

Add flairs of their biggest donors to the overalls

Sometimes carbon credits are sold off trees that weren't going to be cut down anyway 😂😂

Wendover has a really great video on carbon offsetting on YouTube and nebula

This app once sparked social changes and political revolutions. People used it to hold the guilty people accountable.

Then Elon bought it with funding from Saudia Arabia and a few others.

Then he made all the cartoonishly wrong changes. Now the app is dying.

It doesn't feel like incompetence to me. It feels like the app was murdered by the rich and the powerful for whom 44B isn't that big of a deal.

You simply cant win. People make fun of Xbox fand Windows for having non sequential names, and iPhone gets berated for having a naming scheme that's sensical, easy to follow and date

These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can't think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.

We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we're not happy with the way reddit is making money.

Even if pro subscription carries over I'm still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!

I hope Rudy farts on Jenna Ellis again

I hope western nations do not take in any of the Palestinians that are about to be displaced.

If you hate what we stand for, if you hate how we dress and how we dance, you should find asylum in a country that matches your values.

He's a man of finer taste with an extensive collection of fedoras

I have tried all of the ones on Android.

Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp

However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I'm on a pixel 7 pro so it's not a legacy hardware issue either

Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I've been using it for reddit for the past decade.

Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it's got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all

If you'd like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it's not a big enough issue at all

Whoever is funding NASA should devote more funding to education - the need is clearly evident from your comments.

Feeding the starving is mutually exclusive especially when you can subsidize farmers. Farmers make a terrible wage it wouldn’t even be expensive to pay them off for free grain, cattle etc…

This is starting to feel like a troll because no one can be this dense or uninformed.

Farms and crops are heavily subsidized. The reason farmers are in a bind is not because of subsidies, it's because of conglomerates and predatory business practices by them.

I won't even reply to the second paragraph because it's a word soup written by AI.

Please, for the love of god, do a bit of reading, learn logic and fallacies before coming into public forums to debate.

Alright, you dumbass, I will entertain.

SpaceX sells a service that NASA buys. It's cheaper and easier for NASA to contract out space launches & the R&D associated with it to other companies. It's common for other government agencies to contract out to private companies for goods and services. SpaceX isn't the only space company that receives contracts from NASA either. NASA is always looking to hedge their bet to not be too dependent on a single company.

Like any other company, SpaceX uses the profit from their business + investors to fund new ventures like Starlink. No matter what you think of Musk, Starlink has had a positive impact for a lot of people in rural areas. Starlink is faster, more reliable and costs less than traditional satellite internet. Even if this cost tax dollars, it would be dollars well spent as we're connecting more of the country to high speed internet. This has direct social, educational and economical impact.

If you want NASA to stop hiring SpaceX for launches then it'll hurt NASA too. They will have to spend a lot more money to R&D, test, build and maintain a new rocket program.

When you said 20 years later I genuinely thought you meant like early 90s

On a related note my Brother 2270DW has been working flawlessly since 2012. It survived two moves just fine. Toners are cheap and widely available

I have it hooked up to my wifi and any new pc or mac connected to the wifi can print effortlessly

No one wants a rocket program.

This is why I mentioned the importance of funding education earlier. You have tunnel vision because you either didn't attend school, didn't pay attention while there or simply had a very poor curriculum.

Feeding the starving and doing everything else aren't mutually exclusive. The reason why we aren't feeding the hungry is not because we are launching rockets into space.

Space programs and NASA has contributed a lot of technologies that we use in our everyday life. It made our lives easier, safer and has opened up more economic opportunities. If you are generating more money, more jobs, more services then it's easier to have extra money for social services.

$2,000,000,000 to Elon this past year

At this point it feels like you have comprehension issues, because me and several other people have already explained to you in detail that NASA isn't donating money to Elon.

OP is a weapons grade idiot

You sound like a lot of fun

So why don't they split YouTube and YouTube music subs? It can save people like us money

My M2 air is silent because it has no fans. I've never had any trouble doing any office / photoshop / illustrator work. Battery life lasts hours and hours and hours.

It's not all marketing, there's substance too

And Twitter wasn't all bad. People used it to spark, spread and fuel several sovial and political changes. It was the modern townsquare.

It's too bad it only amplifies nazis and fascists now, but there was a time when regular people had a voice there.

As have I, and my experience is similar to the other guy.

Fingerprint on the 6 drove me nuts.

On 7 pro now. My tap to pay goes away randomly sometimes until I restart the phone. 7pro camera is hit and miss, mostly missed. Takes very detailed photos, but the quality is far worse than pixels older than pixel 6.

undefined> “They’re doing a thing so we’ll do the opposite”

That's their gameplan most of the time.

Seeing how writing absolutely nosedived after 2-3 seasons, I find it hard to sympathize with them for ruining one of my favorite shows.

Back gesture / design

Whatsapp portability. Last time I checked Whatsapp data couldn't be moved to Android. I have a decade of chat history id like to preserve.

Integration with Google Photos. I am not switching to icloud or any other. Google Photos is just way too good. I can even search photos with text!

Notification system. I'm not entirely happy with how android does it, but apple does it worse.

Charging port. All my cables are USB C that charge both my phone and iPad. I'm not thrilled about getting 3 more chargers and cables.

App prices. Android has great KeePass clients for cheap / free. I use strongbox on my iPad which is like $30 a year

I wish the blackout was different.

Keep all the subs open, but suspend all but the sitewide rules.

All the subreddits would've been filled with off topic content, spam and advertising. It would've been far more annoying to the average user.

He's right, most people don't install an OS. They use whatever it comes with.

I can sort of see the reason behind it. If they're hosting the manual then they can keep it updated (typos/mistakes/changes etc.). Printed manuals can become outdated by the time it reaches the buyer.

What they should've done instead was to include a printed version, and then add a QR code to see the latest version online. That would've been very handy

How about "I fuck my body pillow every night"?

Just shout it out every few minutes in a public place to find other lemmings

You need more meaningful things going on in your life.

Gas stoves heat things faster and hotter, I'm fine with a slight trade off for those features.
