Nowhere did I say Moto was flawless. I insinuated that Moto was much better than Samsung if that’s what you’re arguing? I have no clue what you’re taking about as far as the service that automatically installs games every day. And I just searched everything in my settings and don’t see anything about a “Live lock screen” . I don’t remember seeing anyone else discussing it either. Regardless, the content of my comment was based solely on first hand experience.

My experience with iPhone is horrible hardware support, locked down software/hardware integration, forced ads on browser…etc. If I’m spending $800 I should be able to expect better than USB 2.0 speeds on the iPhone 15. Why should I need to be the 15 Pro to get USB 3.0? As far as bloat is concerned, they’re all pretty bad. I just wanted to highlight how bad Samsung is. Apple still has: Podcasts, iTunes, Stocks, Apple Maps, Books, Home, Safari, Wallet, Facetime, etc. I left all of my Apple gripes out because it’s irrelevant to the conversation at hand.

That’s a good thing. It’s not because Apple has massively increased. It’s because more Android manufacturers are competing in the market. I never wanted Samsung to be the dominant brand in the Android market. They’re just as anti-consumer as Apple. The only reason they allow as much software freedom as they do is because it’s forced upon them by the Android OS. If they had it their way, they’d force users to to the Samsung app store and their browser. Both of which are horrible. Just look at their smart watch, home appliances, or TV segments. They’re all locked down. I last owned a Galaxy S20 FE (I think) and the bloat on it is just as bad if not worse than iPhone. And it only allows you to disable the apps rather than uninstalling.

I’ve been using a 2023 Motorola edge+ for at least 2 years and the experience is pretty close to stock Android. It charges at 68W and the battery lasts all day. I love the Moto gestures like the chop-chop flashlight and twist to open the camera. My biggest gripe is hardware. The curved screen makes it hard to find screen protectors and cases on top of being more fragile. But otherwise I have a phone that runs as well as some Samsung flagships for half the price. I think I paid $700. Competition in the Android market can only be a good thing for consumers.

Why? His wife is dead. What does it matter?

Just picture his fat torso shoved into a big ol pair of stretched out tighty whiteys. Then he says this and all you can focus on is his morning breath.

Let’s hope its a trilogy and there’s no reboots.

Talks amongst the 50501 and No Kings groups are Black Friday weekend.

Fuck, it was burned down already. Twice.

Not sure. Maybe they’re on drugs

They probably do have a “superior product” it’s just that the superiority comes from yield per acre. Not taste. Agricultural products are a massive industry in the US and bioengineering crops for higher drought tolerance and increased yield is the priority right now. The drawback to more soybean or corn or wheat per m² is nutritional density in the actual harvested product.

What I will say is that I’ve noticed a trend toward more sustainable farming practices even in the midwest where yield is your family’s livelihood. More farmers are beginning to turn to no-till planting practices, pasture rotation, ground cover planting, etc. It’s slow, but they’re getting coerced by messaging from governmental bodies and research bodies in Illinois like the Department of Natural Resources, Dept. of Agriculture, University of Illinois, etc.

Is this the very same limewire as the one that sourced all of the public domain mp3s on my burned cds?

I hate Illinois Nazis

Its unfortunately an effective strategy to hide their crimes. They speak vocally about harsh treatment of the people that do their type of harm and slowly escalate with their victims.

People see them being real close friends with a member of their church, then dismiss it because they know their public opinion on predators. After a while they start seeing their victims outside of church or whatever it happens to be. Other parents think it’s weird but dismiss it again because of the predators’ outspoken opinions and it’s not too much further than their interactions with the victim in church. They’re boiling the frog. The last step is getting so close with the victim that the victim begins to see them as one of their closest friends and helps bring others into the abuse either through photos or physically.

Okay, I agree, but what is the time off policy for Jacobin?

Do French-Canadian polar bears live in Ontario or do French-Canadian language adaptations travel further north than I’m aware of? Thanks in advance.

Arc GPUs are worth buying at the moment to avoid a duopoly of Nvidia and AMD. AV1 support at a reasonable price can be a big deal for media preservation. At least on the CPU side there’s competition from Apple, AMD, and other mobile processors that could theoretically enter the desktop market. Server CPUs are unfortunately looking bleak.

Yeah, anti-semites do still exist. There’s nothing inherently wrong with telling jewish Americans that they’ll be protected from violent people. If he were to have said that he was going to support jewish leadership in Israel, that’s a different thing entirely.

My feed is the same, but the posts are flip flipped lol

This is the first time I’ve laughed at something related to our political situation in a long time. Good job on this thread guys. I appreciate it

Does NYC city have any of those ATM machines?

Just a typo. 400 meters*
