Or as my sister used to say: whateverrr

Have you tried getting a more updated APK and repatching it? I haven’t had any issues for several months after doing that. ReVanced Manager should tell which version to get.

I’d say before you even get a dashcam get an AC jump-starter. Those are less than $100

And I’m finding myself actually posting comments instead of drafting and deleting them like I did on Reddit for the last 6-7 years. The comment threads really deteriorated on Reddit over the last decade

Agreed. I personally struggle with the word “intentionally,” however. Meta was aware of the negative side effects of their content algorithms far before the recent Myanmar violence and did nothing to remedy it. There were internal reports about teen suicide and eating disorders several years prior that they tried to hush up, and of course the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal which revealed the extent to which Facebook was supplying third parties with user info that was directly responsible for increased partisanship in the 2016 & 2020 election cycles, and probably (imo) they share some blame for recent hate crimes in the US accordingly. And now we know they definitively hold blame for increased violence in Myanmar. If they knew the effect their platform had and did nothing about it, that to me seems intentional. Just my 2¢

To maintain the analogy - what if the radio equipment were somehow designed to provide stronger, more far-reaching frequencies if the DJs were broadcasting hate speech and military commands, but shorter, weaker frequencies when DJs discussed crimes against humanity? Facebook isn’t a truly open platform, it’s algorithms dictate what users see and what goes viral.

Everyone tangentially related to cybersecurity knows by now that frequent password expirations encourage users to set insecure passwords for a net negative to security, so why the hell do cybersecurity insurance providers still require expirations? We have this for my org even though we have SSO backed up with MFA for all accounts. So frustrating!

'cause ya never know when your gonna go!

Bad Girls From Mars (1991) if I am not mistaken

So since it was intentional I’m just a dude?

Another piece to this is that smartphone innovations have slowed down significantly. I used my Samsung S8+ from launch 2017 until 2022 and couple kept it going longer but it wasn’t getting security updates anymore and it’s performance for Android Auto had intermittent issues, so I sold it to my friend (who’s still using it) and upgraded. But as far as new features on new phones, by upgrading I got a faster display, faster SoC, and more RAM, which are nice to have but not game changers imo, and I lost a headphone jack, micro SD card expansion, and downgraded the resolution of my display (S21). I’m planning on holding onto this phone as long as possible and maybe I’ll upgrade to a foldable if they iron out the kinks and come down in price.

Same with jogging for me. I get amped up listening to electronic music and am full zen mode when I’m finished. Plus the endorphins improve my mood

I’m a diehard Android fan and even I admit iPhones tend to hold their resale value a bit better than comparable Android phones as well.

People with iPhones use iMessage for texting which turns their bubbles blue (green for any other type of phone) and with iMessage there are a whole slew of features that people enjoy like chat bubbles to show active typing, read receipts, sending over Wi-Fi, etc. Often there’s one member of a group chat with an Android who can’t take advantage of those features and it limits the group chat features since they use SMS/MMS/RCS protocol instead. Here’s an article about it:

Impressive! I’m more than halfway through the AFI 100 Years…100 Movies list now myself, slowly but surely. Started posting on Letterboxd too. Quite fun!
