Mainly just those two mean it will never be available on any other hardware…

Is it just me or does it seem slightly sus that GrapheneOS is only available for Google hardware…
- Comment on Are display sizes always measured in inches? 1 week ago:
It’s a bit like how in NZ you can order a “pint” of beer, and the bartender will fill up a random size glass around 400~700ml 😅: you can buy a 30" TV, and if you measure the diagonal, it’s around 79-82cm 😅

Yeah but they’ll lose that business next quarter, and the current shareholders will have already sold thier shares by the time that’s reported so it doesn’t matter.

- Comment on Remember the car jacking scene in Terminator 3? 2 weeks ago:
I think there’s a few options, in order of increasing cost:
- get a really cheap one
- get an older one that uses a defunct connectivity method
- modify one to remove/replace any telemetry modules
- build it yourself from scratch using parts from ali express or similar
- get a shop to build one for you

I don’t know what’s so impressive about the water, looks the same as water in every other 3D game from 1998?

- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 3 weeks ago:
It depends how broad their “masculine influencer” definition is…
I think whether it actually matters would depend more on if they’re consuming “masculine influencer” content exclusively , without any concept of other world views.

a subtle edit resolving a duplicate reference in a way that removes displays from the list of parts that must be replaceable by a layperson with basic tools

- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 3 weeks ago:
Transracial is an actual thing, but it refers to people of one race adopted by another
I think a better word for it would be “Transcultural” or “Transethnithicy” ?
But I’ve never heard of that specifically, closest people I know of are people with parents from other cultures who grew up in a different culture than one or both parents, call themselves “multicultural” or as having “multiethnicity”…

- Comment on where are worker rights parades? why are we focusing on very limited issues? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t think they’re angry at pride parades, they’re angry that there’s no similar parades/demonstrations for workers rights, and using pride parade as an example to be emulated…
