"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."

Honestly the self-critique the LRM said was spot on. Very funny

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?

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

I use FOSS stuff and it ain’t perfect. I just personally can not longer tolerate all the ads and tracking

If you did this to me I would be completely dejected and never fix anything ever again

This reminds me of some Zizzian shit

Relevant

Kdenlive is really really good. This isn’t an expert opinon. I don’t do a ton of video editing but it feels both easy to learn (for a layman like me) and powerful enough to do anything I need it to do

How?

I definitely recommend any of these. Kiran Leonard is less well known but I don’t think he ought to be

Sampha - Lahai

Kiran Leonard - Real Home

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024 28,340 DEAD

JPEGMAFIA - I Lay Down My Life For You

Akropolis Reed Quintet - Are We Dreaming the Same Dream?

I got one of these for free with my phone plan. It seems neat but I already had a phone I liked. I would probably switch to it if it were smaller and had a Lineage OS release for it

Honey bees are dying but you can help native bees in your area. Find out what they like and plant that shit. Also just letting weeds grow helps a lot of species.

I get leafcutter bees at my place as well as a few other solitary species
