My dude thanks for the message of positivity. Personally I think we’re fucked regardless but I do appreciate the thread of hope. I try to do what I’m can individually as well and sometimes it feels futile but it’s good to know that there are some of us (dozens even!) still trying to do the right thing.

Wait, how does hydro release methane?
In a violin it’s called an F hole.
I see what you’re saying but it’s also kind of an excuse. It’s not that hard to find out, for instance in this case, where candidates stand on LGBTQ issues or on education.
You’re not wrong but people are fucking dumb. It just means we’re all going to get kicked in the nuts now while my ass is still hurting.
That might be true but voting in fascists (who will make every single one of the problems worse) was the rational response?
Come to California. We have the best tacos and xlb.
Do better? Hahaha. It’s cute that you think we have a chance to do better. That opportunity was this time and we (doesn’t really matter who the we refers to) blew it. They’re not gonna let us do anything; there is no more next time.
Wtf you have to login to use notepad now? Wtf???
Shit, if a porn star can score a triple double, I’ll take it.
My BIL is a Google engineer and he gave me (an iPhone user) a pixel 8 pro to test drive for feedback. The hardware is pretty darn solid and felt good in my hands and to my eyes. I really liked that it had both a fingerprint sensor and a facial recognition system to unlock. This made contactless payment a lot easier to use than an iPhone in my opinion. In general, the software is not as polished as iOS, but is more customizable and you can side load apps from alternate app stores like f droid, which is great. The killer feature as far as I am concerned is Firefox with uBlock.
Some people like the Apple ecosystem.
RIP 😭
I had the same problem - see this thread for solution (you have to scoll down to the middle)

Dude, a conservative headcount for COVID deaths in the US is a million.
I’m not technical enough to think it through carefully but I’ve always thought there was an opportunity for an organization like USPS to develop email 2.0 - something that gives people some kind of verifiable and secure email address so that users can easily find each other whilst filtering out spam (or to have spam taken into consideration in the design at the outset). You would design it based on strict standards that would be difficult to get around so that big tech could not easily co-opt it, and adopt for some kind of critical function (taxes, voting maybe?) so that it would encourage adoption en masse. Make it distributed so that users can selfhost it easily, safely, and securely.
I mean, even if they “reach” you doesn’t mean you have to pick up the phone or respond to texts. As a matter of policy I don’t answer calls from numbers not in my contacts. If it’s important they’ll leave a voicemail.
There is a Mythbusters episode on this. Rose literally and figuratively fucked Jack.
He already did this. 8 years ago. I mean it could have been a lot worse if he were competent but it was already horrible.
