The nation of origin is completely meaningless when it comes to software distributed over the internet.

Well I say Mark Zuckerberg is over.

I think an alarming number of Gen Z internet folks find it funny to skew the results of anonymous surveys.

Why, you didn’t even post this!

Oh so you did absolutely nothing to earn it. Cool. Go fuck yourself.

Yes.

Now leave.

What offense?

I mean aside from the glass eye, he seems relatively healthy.

Same reason they post their kids all over Facebook.

What’s your favorite meal to prepare for a special occasion?

I think the main reason I don’t use the outer screen more is just that if I’m on my phone I’m generally stationary and can open it up without sacrificing convenience. It’s like, 75% open, 25% use the outer screen in general. I also have a Pixel watch for like, at-a-glance notifications.

Completely agree that there is ZERO point to the outer screen if you can’t use any app you choose. Here is my outer home screen:

(Yes, I own a Tesla. No, I’m not a Nazi. I bought it in April 2024 used and owe more than I’d get on a trade. Yes I know there are incentives right now. No they won’t make a difference. No, you don’t know my finances. No, I’m not going to discuss it any more.)

And yes, Pokemon Go works on the outer screen… Kind of. It’s hard to hit the buttons. Throwing balls though, just fine. The more I think about it, being on foot or on a bike is the perfect situation for pretty much all of what the outer screen can do.

The main screen, though - fantastic. I love the Moto UI for Android. I like a small text size and lots of icons.

Mine is the 2024 base version. The plus or ultra or what the fuck ever just has a slightly bigger outer screen and… Idfk what else but I haven’t felt the need for more. Quite happy.

I replaced 2 Pixels in a row which both died in less than a year with this. Better battery life, thermals, and UI than the Pixel. Camera is acceptable, but Pixel is the king there. I have a Pixel 6a which is a burner/camera when I want real photography. Quite happy.

I’ve got one. Moto Razr.

It fits in my pocket much better than a slab phone.

I don’t use the outer screen much. Generally when I need to fumble around and change media or unlock my car or something with stuff in my other hand. But Moto’s implementation of the second screen is pretty good.

I like a very large screen and I like portability. If this phone breaks, I’ll probably get either another one like it or a larger one like a Pixel Fold or something.

The solution to the fragile inner screen is - and I know this is a complex idea so bear with me - you close the phone when you’re not actively using it. Seriously, it’s a complete non-issue.

My biggest complaint is the Moto software. I’ve had other Moto phones before and had similar issues - they’re WAY too aggressive with battery optimizations killing background apps. Like holy shit. I have to go in every few days and reset settings that the phone changed on its own so that my VPN stays connected for more than 10 minutes at a time because it wants to kill the app to save battery. But that has nothing to do with the screen.

I think it’s a bullshit rule, myself.

But it is a clearly-stated rule.

The real question is how many accounts you want to throw at it, because if you ask me, in for a penny in for a pound.

And it is morally correct to harass elon.

Because they don’t want to.

Full stop.

Don’t tell me that my thoughts aren’t weird enough.

The thread is about email though.

You’re going to do all that in your emails?

No, I don’t think humility is the problem. It’s just a bullshit idea that nobody needs.

I could see Trump taking this attitude until he meets his very first encounter with the actual degree of stress he’d have to suffer to execute it.

He would then immediately give up and blame, I don’t know, Egypt or something.

Trump has no willpower or self-regulation skills at all. He is not a planner, a leader, or a strategist. He’s not willing to work, ever, for any reason. A war is beyond his capacity.

And nobody willing to align with him is competent.

I see your point, but it’s all talk right now. There’s still US military everywhere, the dollar is still strong, McDonald’s is still selling hamburgers, people are still watching Hollywood movies and TV shows and still subscribing to Netflix.

I’m not saying actual shunning and sanctioning of America can’t happen, but we’re absolutely nowhere near it right now. People are just yelling, and mostly on the internet.

Tesla is getting hit, but they’re only one company.

An actual boycott of America as a whole would be a massive lifestyle change for huge portions of the world and that kind of scale is not where we are at this moment. We’re all just bloviating.
