  • Nah, I’m not doing back to OP. I hate to say it, but If you’re going to use android, nothing beats pixels. Not even close.

    If GrapheneOS manages to actually work with a decent hardware maker to get a phone to the market, I’ll get that next, but only if Android auto and banking apps work. Phone’s useless to me without those.

    Only reason I’d give those up is if I can get another Linux phone as polished as Nokia N9. Still the best phone I’ve ever owned.

    Not a popular opinion, but if those two options are unavailable, I’d rather switch to iPhone than use a non pixel android.


  • Oneplus had great success but then enshittified. Raised prices to match Samsung and Google, outsourced support to some place that didn’t sound like they were even in the same dimension as any English speakers and took away their ability to help customers even by accident and finally quality of their phones went to shit.

    They could’ve sucked the Chinese government subsidy tit for another few years and would’ve established themselves as legit competition, but that would only delay inevitable enshittification by a few years.

    Is this for people that are able to transfer themselves? Because Uber WAV works just fine. Used it several times without any issues other than extended wait times due to small number of appropriate cars.

    Also, I’m willing to bet real money this issue is caused by assholes claiming their chihuahuas are service animals and not by Uber drivers rejecting to drive blind people or people in wheelchairs.

    Ability to pay for anything legal implies accountability. I doubt payment processors are creating these rules because they’re afraid of Jesus.

    They just did the math and there’s probably a ton of disputes/chargebacks on certain content.

    Should two consenting adults be able to pay each other for whatever the fuck - absolutely. But dumb pipe only sounds really good until you get scammed.






  • It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

    If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.
