I'm sure she's relieved
"FATHER: You remember? In the streets...hundreds of thousands marching shoulder to shoulder... Biggest demonstrations in HK history. The world watched it all happen. Heard our voices. Saw us bleed.
MOTHER: So?
FATHER: So if we stayed silent? didnt stand up for ourselves? They would say...this is how it always was. They would say...this is what the people wanted. But no. They can't say that. Because it has gone down in history... That we resisted fiercely. That we fought for a different future...until we couldn't. That legacy lives in us."
It isn't really fair to include Mackinac Island because cars simply aren't allowed on the island
Honestly the self-critique the LRM said was spot on. Very funny
Temporary solution: use a ratchet strap around the machine when not in use. They're difficult for a child to release and easy to acquire. Its crude but it will work until you can find a more elegant solution
The glyph lights are kind of a gimmick but I found myself using them a lot.
I would 100% buy another Nothing phone
Oh fuck no... Samsung taught me to hate bloatware. Nothing is not even in the same league. The 2a came with an app to integrate other Nothing devices and an AI wallpaper generator. It also came with some software to integrate with the glyph interface that I actually liked.
Just an FYI, a lot of phones can now be debloated using Shizuku and Canta. Just search the right process for your phone
Pretty light on bloatware. I broke my Nothing 2A's screen a couple months ago (it got ran over by a Camry) and I still miss it... I mean I still have it, and it still works but finding a cheap screen for it in the US is difficult
Not a barefoot person but I've heard it claimed that its better for your feet. Seems off to me but its not like we evolved shoes so what do I know?
"New squid just dropped!"
I miss Suzuki
Terribile hobbyist photographer here. I have shot on everything from film to shitty cell phone cameras.
I guess I'm not worried about this aspect of it due to the kind of photography I do. I mean can you even tell for sure what I've shot these on?
What I am saying is the investments are at a scale that it could cause a resession when these companies fail. Meaning its likely to effect everyone in the economy we all work in. You wont need to be working on AI to feel the impact
The problem is it will hurt everyone when they fail
Amazon isn't a good comparison. People need to buy things. Having a better way to do that was and is worth billions.
There is no revolutionary product that people need on the horizon for AI. The products released using it are mostly just fun toys, because it can't be trusted with anything serious. There's no indication this will change in the near to distant future
I was just there in March. Hiked Mount Hollywood and finshed at the observatory. It was a fun day
Definitely the MG for me. The C2 is pretty rad too
Maybe? I could see a fan render or OEM designer on a concept drawing going for a single handle appearance. I don't like it, but I don't think that's a telltale that it's an AI drawing. The weird gap on the A-pillar makes me think it might be but its not enough for me to be certain.
I definitely don't like the design but that's subjective. I'm already not a fan of modern Chrysler's design language so I'm biased against it. I've seen a lot of bad fan renders even before AI was around and it just seems like it could just be one of those
I use FOSS stuff and it ain't perfect. I just personally can not longer tolerate all the ads and tracking

Are there options to de-google a Moto G Stylus 5G 2024 (XT2419-2)?
My beloved Nothing 2a has been ran over by a Camry (true story) and survived?!... but the screen is all messed up and it's more than I paid for the phone to replace it.
Luckily I have have this Moto G Stylus that I basically got for free with my phone plan. I'd like to de-bloat and de-google this thing as much as possible, if it is possible. Is it possible? My go-to LineageOS doesn't seem to have a build for this phone. Any advice is appreciated
Trying to decide on the right 'Specialized' eBike for a long commute
tl;dr: have long commute. Want eBike. Am fat. Should I buy Specialized Veno 4.0 or Veno SL 4.0 EQ?
Hello everyone,
For multiple reasons I'm looking to purchase my first eBike for my long commute to work. My local bike shop (who I would like to work with on this) sells Specialized. It looks like the Vado 4.0 and Vado SL 4.0 EQ can both be had for around $3200 and these seem like the most likely candidates for this role.
My bike shop is recommending the SL. I normally wouldn't question them but Specialized's website claims I would get more range out of the regular Vado. It also has the added advantage of having a removable battery which means I can charge it at my desk and have a full battery for the commute home.
On the other hand the SL seems more approachable for someone who has a lot of experience with non-assisted riding. Additionally it's light enough that it should function decently as a conventional bike should the electric drive train turn off.
