Also I can't believe how repairable it was for a flagship device. Nearly everything in it down to the jacks where on ribbon cables.

Everything was screwed, not glued, to a metal frame except for the screen, and maybe the mic/top speaker. Though whenever you bought a new screen it was like $10 to get all that shit included on a new (to you) metal frame that everything else screwed back onto.

I think all the ones after that where glued together like most modern phones. That fucker was special.

Kinda missing my LG V20, why does walking with music now require me to deal with either compression and an extra attack vector, or loose ass usb-c connectors that require an unlock to securely re-connect?

I just wanna walk to work and listen to my brainrot in peace.

I think the issue is less having those thoughts, and more (usually) dudes not keeping them to themselves.

You shouldn't feel ashamed of them, that being said the idea of showing even a modicum romantic/sexual interest towards other women has always been terrifying outside of people I'm already in a relationship in, simply for the same fear of being perceived as a creep.

Like I can make the most heinous jokes towards the cishet men I work with, if nothing else because I know most of those fuckers are just as bad towards women. But the idea of giving even a platonic compliment on a women's choice of clothing feels intimidating.

I'm really hoping once I start presenting as a woman that shit will wash away, but who knows.

On one hand yes, but also no because being gay and doing crimes is our thing.

Feel this hard. Not sure why but I've always had a thing about comments from anyone other than specific people, mostly friends. Like it can be a compliment, but if its from a stranger, or especially from immediate family my brain goes into fight or flight. Like only a select specific set of people deemed safe by my brain should speak on that.

The idea of them noticing something even tangentially related to my early steps towards transition seem daunting to say the least.

If Europe can keep their historic towns looking nice for literally thousands of years, we can keep a building for longer than 70.

Working with people who didn't grow up communicating over text blows. Why does everything need to be a meeting?

Datacenters aren't the issue, like it or not they're required for modern society. The issue is data centers powered by unclean power sources.

In any other setting if you tell a journalist something without an NDA, and outside of a personal setting, you should expect it to get published.

What the fuck did they think they where doing when they released it to 18,000 players?

Honestly I just want the pinephone to be better supported. Fuck android phones, I want a Linux palmtop like God intended.

My guy, you're lucky the crowd didn't pin you down and skin you alive. Fuckin' kiddie fuckers, man. How entitled.
