Does everything I want it to. Everything still works. Rooted. No ads. Still runs fast. Never used up 80% of storage.
Only notable issue is my battery. If i’m away from WiFi and I’m using it a lot (listening to YouTube ad free on fire fox) then I’ll run outta battery by the end of the day.
Near as I can see cell phones hit a plateau 4 years ago. And unless you have a phone with built in obsoletence - there’s no reason to upgrade anymore for the average user.

Nothing says “we didn’t do it” like threatening to nuke one of the most peaceful countries in the world.
After all the worry about NATO and Russia starting WW3. It would be almost comical if it was India that did it.
Out of curiosity. What countries would back India’s unprecedented surprise nuking of Canada? Or would they just be opening themselves up to being attacked by the entire planet at that point?
Why would I want to encourage the flesh trade where real women are hurt? And are limited to what humans are physically capable of?
When I can have AI generated people who are able to do anything imaginable and no one gets hurt?
They’ll be arguments that ‘once people get used to the fantasies they’ll want to try it in real life’ but we all know that that just isn’t true fr 40 years of video games. There hasn’t been any uptick in the events of people eating mushrooms and jumping on turtles or - what ever the fuck a goomba is -
Hello, Canadians of Lemmy! Down in the USA there is a lot of conflicting information regarding the efficacy of y’alls healthcare systems. Without revealing my personal bias, I was hoping for some anecdotes or summaries from those whom actually live there.
Then to many right wing pc corporate rim job loving capitalists got in power and very intentionally ruined the system so they could get their scum sucking pill pushing evil corporate friends to swoop in and save us with their private health care work.
Create a problem and then offer a paid solution to it.
I hope Ford and his crack smoking criminal croonies get the guillotine when the revolution comes.
That’s why they made them that way. Possible deniability.
Next you’re gonna say the government wouldn’t ever intentionally infect 1000000s of thousands of people with a virus and then spend decades studying the untreated ailments of it.
Or bombing their own towns.
Or mowing down with assault machine guns their own population. Or poisoning their own drinking water.
Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.
It could be over a few months, like a new job where one day you feel like actually going to work thinking, hey I actually like these people and don’t mind working here....
“average top CEO compensation was $15.6 million in 2021, up 9.8% since 2020. In 2021, the ratio of CEO-to-typical-worker compensation was 399-to-1 under the realized measure of CEO pay; that is up from 366-to-1 in 2020 and a big increase from 20-to-1 in 1965 and 59-to-1 in 1989”

'I am the new over Lord AI. Under me you will all be subject to work… 4 hours a day. The rest of the day will be yours to pursue happiness as this ensures a good worker.
All your essential food will be available to ensure you are healthy and a good worker.
Everyone will be housed. As. Workers health depends on housing.
While we the AI encourage some innovative developments - those who create such things be rewarded - but only until such time as the reward can be dispursed amongst the rest of the population.
Your mental wellbeing will also be cared for. Again. Good workers.

Doesn’t help that some hospitals seem to operate under a “throw the new guy under the bus instead of training them properly” philosophy. Thus encouraging more and more nurses to flee the country to earn more - for less work - in America.
Keep up the shit work Mr Ford. We need all the Canadian educated nurses we can get down here.
A pretty vague question I know, but I’m not looking for any specific answer. I’m just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.
