Anon thinks about Google

Android is still great. The Pixel phone is the best Android phone by several metrics. Usability and Camera come to mind. Android TV is by far the best TV interface. Just because it's sideloadable and decently usable. Low bar, but here we are.

Gboard is good. The pixel launcher is good enough to not bother switching off. The Google Home certainly turns my lights on and off. And as soon as Google opens RCS, I'm leaving Google Messages.

But that's the only Google stuff I use. And I'm thinking of switching to Graphene OS.

Seeding

This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they're so hard.

On Bears

Polar bears don't find food as readily as Grizzly bears. If a Grizzly hesitates on a salmon, it'll find another salmon.

If a Polar hesitates on a penguin, it could starve.

Is there some reason to not assume they'll be cis and straight? Does this change your behavior at all toward them?

It's not like we're out arranging marriages or setting up our kids. They'll figure it out on their own and teaching a cis, straight boy to play baseball is no different than teaching a cis, gay boy or a trans, straight boy or trans straight girl or any other combination. If a kid doesn't like baseball, that just means the kid doesn't like baseball.

I'd rather be doing anything else, which is why I'm here, doing nothing

Now there's the delima. You find yourself a way to make money that isn't working, and everyone else will start doing it. When everyone is doing it, some people will start to invent in doing it (education for example). These people will do better, and take a higher share of the activity. These people, having invested, will be required to preform consistently. Just to make there money back.

Now you just have a new job.
