put a fork in it, it's done,almost! android that is. linux phones are comming up fast, and will be set up to run the droid apps we like. but big props to fdroid just used "etchdroid" to transfer a linux iso to a thumb drive and boot a new desk top, and if I get a few bucks ahead I will buy a dev board from these guys https://liberux.net/ flinuxoid?, flinux?

Google really knew what they were doing by hiring Marc Levoy. The Google camera is the only thing keeping me from getting something other than a pixel phone.

Uncensored by the Democrat party

AppleAtCha · 2 months ago

It's not censorship to concede a point in a civil debate or discussion. Republicans used to debate better than the other side back when I often voted for them. But there is no room for this in maga. It is simply willful ignorance or arguing in bad faith and it helps no one.

> Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years,

Yeah, because you filled the feed with garbage so obviously they don't get to see as much.

Has 'percentage of time viewing content' declined?

This is why I left Facebook and I'm sure it drove away many others.

Can you give an example of fraud that has been found by doge? If so it is to be commended, but I suspect they are just labelling stuff approved by congress and previous administrations fraud whenever they don't like it.

He only holds ~15% of Tesla. His real money is in SpaceX... 50% ownership there. I wish people would think just a little before parroting the "hit Musk where it hurts" drivel.

AppleAtCha · 9 months ago

SpaceX is worth less than 10% of what Tesla is valued at, so 15% is still a larger holding and very much "where it hurts". You should consider pausing before calling the popular position drivel.

The war is the genocide. Putin’s invasion would have killed thousands, maybe tens of thousands and been over in a week. Western involvement changed that into the deaths of hundreds of thousands. What more effective means of self-genocide could Europe conceive? Germany cannot exactly round up a whole class of their own for slaughter again in their current political environment. The West (England, Germany, France, etc) caused WWI and WWII not Russia. Now we (America) should trust their vision to avoid WWIII? We should be clear who the problem is and stay out of it.

This is such incredibly twisted logic. I would have honestly been aghast to see this on HN a few years ago, but now the site seems nearly as infected as Facebook or X with this.

I want the war to end because I have no preferable alternative.

And you, too, have failed to present one. Is funding a never-ending stalemate indefinitely the only option?

AppleAtCha · 9 months ago

An obvious alternative is to increase support to Ukraine to give them what they need to expel Russia. The good old USA has the resources to do that but Republicans have blocked increasing aid at the orders of Donald Trump for years now. And now that he is in power he is finally blocking it altogether.

Fair point. If only we had stretched that over decades and spent billions of dollars. I guess it could have been a lot more expensive?

Still waiting on the alternative plan.

AppleAtCha · 9 months ago

Is your plan really to just let Russia have new territory whenever they want it? Why do you think this would save money or lives?

Why would Ukraine be accountable for a Russian missile hitting a civilian plane?
