They make cars which run on hydrogen which you can get from water but that process is so inefficient they opt to get the hydrogen from natural gas instead thus defeating the entire purpose. Overall we have better tech now than “running a car on water” and doing that doesn’t help the bigger problem of unsustainable use of energy

Wait I thought gog died or something

ITT: people hating on touchscreens

Also ITT: people pointing out really good reasons to have a touch screen.

You have a right to remain silent but you don’t have a right to lie. This is super important legally. If you’re asked “what is your device pin” and you say nothing you’re OK, but if you say “my pin is 12345” and that’s actually your duress PIN then you can be in trouble for that.

OEM unlocked pixels are getting rare and expensive because of this. We need another solution. We need postmarketos to be brought up to usable

Why settle? Software is a continually evolving ecosystem and grafting yourself to a certain distribution model or distribution team doesn’t really make sense when you consider that. Some distribution might have the best things for you, today. Tomorrow, another may come along and do it better, or your current distribution may shift to not be to your liking anymore.

Too poor to afford the theater but everyone’s talking about the latest movie.
