    Sitting on the Samsung note9. It has an aux jack, insane battery life, a great display, and plenty of power in the camera for the kind of “here is the issue” or “here I am in hawaii” photos I take. It is regular Samsung Android although disabled baxiby or whatever that button used to do.


  • I rrwatched for like the 10th time Star Wars in order, got to a New Hope so far. It just reminded me of how good the core story writing for Lucas was even if the dialog can be clunky at times. Luke really reminded me of padma’s strong believes in goodness and anakin’s raw power potential. It made me appreciate the prequels more and I am so excited for the empire strikes back and then capping star wars with return of the jedi.

    Can you show me data showing that Firefox with dark theme, does a first load on a website just as fast as Chrome or edge? Same data point for with video buffer in frame? Pretty sure its noticeably slower in both scenarios with a dark theme.




  • Well, as someone who has lived in Europe half my life and the good old US of A the other half, I’d argue that people don’t prefer cars over public transit in general. America has a super strong car culture, and we could blame American’s for this problem, and we could also be tempted to say that America isn’t dense enough to have good cheap national public transit, but we had the best public transit in many ways leading up to world War 2 (good video on the topic: https://youtu.be/-cjfTG8DbwA ). In reality, with urbanization, lobbying, and the status/convenience cars just made a lot of sense. Plus, flexible passenger- and cargo-carrying capacities are a huge plus for cars all on your own schedule. Even, in great public transit cities people who can afford a car and the associated fee to drive it, largely will do so, since it just gives you the greatest amount of options to get around.
