My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!
That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol
I might be mistaken then, but doesn’t part of Net Neutrality mean that telecommunication companies can’t throttle unlimited plans?
I used the phone app and started a chat. Here’s what I asked, and their response:
I just replied this to another commenter, but that’s a bad faith argument. The ToS also says to not engage in illegal activity. The admonishment of Nazi’s and Racists is an admonishment of illegal evil.
T-Mobile users; be aware that T-Mobile has prepared for this and are trying to automatically transition grandfathered accounts with unlimited everything into their new plans.
I’m not 100% sure if the coverage of the new plans are technically worse, but they’re definitely more expensive. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the new plans had contact language to do a rug pull in the future.
You need to opt out of the transition.
In my opinion this is actually better than the CoC. The only thing “missing” is the definition of which qualities you shouldn’t discriminate against. But that’s now generalized into “groups of people”.
I still can’t discriminate against people based on any qualification. Hell, I technically can’t discriminate against “pineapple on pizza eaters”.
Is community browsing different than community searching? Because Jerboa has Searching.
I’m still rocking Jerboa on Android. It has been totally inoffensive, and I’ll probably just stick with it until it offends me somehow.
As far as I understand;
A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they’re banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.
There’s nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.
The word “radiation” has unfortunately been commandeered by idiots to mean “TOXIC MAGIC AIR”. Lightbulbs radiate (produce light).
In this case they’re 100% just reducing the gain on the phone’s signal strength. No harm prevented. Purely regulatory.
Form me personally, I’d have to say my automated espresso machine. For context; I was buying 1-2 coffees from a shop per day (let’s say 10/week on average).
Cost me $700 on a sale. Grinds & presses the beans by itself, then pushes boiling water through to give me espresso shots. It paid for itself in 6 months of ownership by weening me off the local shops, and it’s lasted for over 6 years so far.
Instead of ~$4.50 per coffee, it’s like $24 for a bulk bag of beans at Costco that lasts me 3 weeks, and a carton of half-and-half that lasts me like a month. That’s like $180/mo → $35/mo
Excellent point. The initial intent of my squabble wasn’t trying to deny that counter-examples exist, just that when comparing 100 houses to 100 apartments, that there seemed to be losses in living space for the apartment (law of averages and whatnot).
I had made another comment on that /c/FuckCars thread that calculated that if all of the homes had 1-car garages (which is not uncommon for a lot of dense low-density suburbs), then the homes would be 1740 SqFt with the garage / 1500 SqFt Livable, and the apartments would be 1009 SqFt livable. So a 33% loss of livable space in the image with what I would consider a reasonable assumption.
Wow, what an awe-inspiring counter-example, lol
True, but what I’m saying is that there are losses in livable square footage represented in the apartment. A home’s SqFt excludes the garage, so a 1500 SqFt home is actually 1740 SqFt with a 1-car garage. I.e. a 1-car garage only takes up 14% of the area underneath a roof of a 1500 Livable-SqFt house. Yet, the represented apartment has lost 42%.
That implies that if the the houses in the picture are 1500 livable square feet, then the apartments are 1009 livable square feet; a ⅓ loss in livable area.
Apartment Complex = 58 Homes' worth of area including garage (1,740 × 58 = 100,920 SqFt)
100,920 / 100 apartments = 1,009 SqFt per apartment
Then you’d be closer to genuine compared to what this graphic shows.
Assuming the needs of a living space is the same across both populations, this graphic seems disingenuous. The pixel count of the apartment suggests it could fit 6½ of the homes per floor. Across 9 floors that’s 58 homes worth of square footage.
I assume the homes have garages, which would not account for living space. But garages don’t account for 42% of a homes’ size.
One thing I can say so far after a few hours is that their advertising department and Inon Zur did a masterful job capturing a whimsical aesthetic that nostalgically reminds me of some educational TV space shows like Cosmos.
Now that I’m playing the game, it feels significantly more clunky than that, and I haven’t gotten as immersed into that aesthetic as I had hoped. Really just FEELS like Fallout in space so far, which is a bit disappointing.
There’s also significantly more load screens than I had hoped. I’ve been spoiled by No Man’s Sky, thought we’d be getting some seamless transitions to planets and cities. Seems bizarre that we just fast travel through the starmap.
The reduction in save file size is appreciated, but unfortunately it appears to be rather minimal. Just tested it on a couple of saves - after loading an existing file and immediately savings, looks like it went down from
So, only a 1MiB reduction it seems… So, still need to manage like 15 GiB of save files, lol
Not directly, but reading between the lines, yes. Steve shows a clip in the first minute of this video where Linus was on the WAN show talking about Hardware Unboxed, and lamented about “some creators”, and Steve says “just say it, everyone knows you’re talking about us”.
It’s the an extension for Google Passwords? It’s my password manager for all my devices.
I would love to switch to Firefox, but I don’t want to open chrome every time I need a to retrieve/save a password.
