Drink More Glurp!

My Fairphone 5 had it in Android 13 and my Zenfone 6 had it in Android 12.

I would have to disagree for the city and state that I live in. Google Maps is much more accurate and up to date than OSM and the directions are better too. Not to mention sometimes knowing to route around construction and whatnot. OSM and whether it’s better than Google Maps seems to be very region dependent.

I contribute when and where I can but there isn’t a huge user base here.

Windows 10 DLC just dropped. Copilot added from Windows 11.

I’m sure you will get there one day

Nah, it’s solid

Bad take is bad

My Fairphone 5 was easy to unlock.

Id memory serves the owner of Menard’s is a dick head and the company has gotten in trouble for worker and environmental violations. No idea about political leanings, but there really aren’t too many places one can go that isn’t directly supporting the erosion of our standard of living and basic rights.

I would kill for an electric version of the Hilux Champ they are selling in Thailand right now.

My brother in Christ and all his disciples, can we just go back to the quick settings from Android 11 that is accessible when holding and using the phone with one hand and has more than 4 options? Or, and I know this sounds CRAZY, give users a choice? If you are going to harp on Apple about locking their ecosystem down, then when you introduce new methods of navigation keep some way of going back to the old way.

I can even do this in the shit box that is Windows 11. I finally had to use and interact with it for the first time this week, and with the installation of two programs I was able to get the start menu, taskbar, and right click menu back to the way I want. Even installing Lineage OS on my phone can’t get me back to the old quick settings tiles as far as I am aware of.

I think you are right, and I hate that it is a fact.

What I want right now is a small electric kei truck or utility van for use as an in city daily driver. Just make the cargo area large enough to put 4’x8’ sheets of plywood in it and close without any fuss and I am sold, but I don’t think that’s going to happen here anytime soon.

Ford discontinued selling their small Transit Connect van here recently so that isn’t even an option anymore.

Not just that, but they are actively hostile and hypocritical about it. Every 1-3 months they prevent RCS from working on rooted phones or phones running alternate ROMs. The fact that they spent so much time complaining that Apple wouldn’t comply with the “open” standard while limiting users’ options on their own platform is very frustrating.

But they will still be blocking rooted users or users of alternative operating systems from using RCS, all while they complain about how Apple should implement RCS.

Unless your brain is fucking broken like mine, lol.

This is what truly pisses me off about Google/Alphabet bitching about Apple not supporting RCS. Google does not offer any kind of API or access for developers to hook into RCS messaging and the have structured it in such a way with extensions to the standard that are Google only so even if there were other RCS providers it wouldn’t be fully compatible. Fuck.

That’s my point. A single day isn’t likely going to do anything.

Mostly because I’m trying to survive and get to the next day. I do not have the financial or social safety net required to do so. Really it’s the latter that is the problem. The Montgomery bus boycott lasted a year. It wasn’t a quick one and done kind of thing. As a society we are much less socially connected than we were in the past and we don’t really have other people to rely on.

I agree with what you are saying, by not marching in the streets I am part of the problem. I don’t know man, shit is fucked. I’m doing what I can but it’s not much.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I end up like one of the White Rose. It hasn’t even been a century since then, smh.

Fuck

Yeah. Most of it is laid out in Project 2025.
