  • 🤦because the judicial system can’t do shit against the unchecked president, every single TV channel left broadcasting now ceaselessly spews endless state propaganda and merely holding up a blank sheet of paper will get you beaten and arrested–

    No, wait, I mixed that up, that’s Russia. Russians must protest. You see, America’s different. Americans are being sO cEnSoReD right now, and walking in the sHtReEtS is sCaRy. So of course they don’t. Silly me.













  • Hold your horses. You want someone to build a service where you’d register, with a new separate set of credentials, so that you’d synchronize your email password between devices?

    Well, I have to admit that this idea of having a password synchronize yourself another password becomes much more practical if you tweak it just a little bit and manage all your passwords with just one. In fact, Mozilla has one. It’s called Firefox Sync. I’d still recommend to use a real password manager like pass and either git or syncthing for synchronizing the underlying data.




  • Oh yes, Samsung’s software always needs replacing, but it’s easier to install better software on a Samsung than wait for better hardware in a Pixel. Where’s the Pixel with a stylus? That’s a 2011 Samsung feature. 4K video output? My 2019 Samsung can drive 4K. Meanwhile Pixel owners are squealing they got any video output last year, another feature coming 13 years late. And of course Auracast will make Samsung’s dual Bluetooth output obsolete quicker than Pixel engineers would recognize that people sometimes listen to things together.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to daily-drive a Pixel. GrapheneOS sounds nice and the KVM is something I’d love to play with. But for decades I’ve watched Pixels hardware to improve while Samsung lost features, hoping Pixels will catch up. If it wasn’t for Folds, they’d be only another decade away from hardware feature parity with 2011 Samsungs, but now there are Folds and here we go again.
