Looking forward to seeing if this trend will continue with other game platforms; I know the r/GlobalOffensive subreddit spun up the @cs magazine on Kbin a while back, and I'm sure there's some others that are doing the same.

For some perspective:

• Funding given by BofA to the groups listed in the source: $390,000
• Funding given by BofA to fossil fuel companies: $232,000,000,000

(Granted, this is not a perfect apples-to-apples comparison, as the fossil fuel numbers are for 2016-2021, not 2017-2020, but regardless...)

Your friendly reminder to promote and encourage development of walkable and bikeable cities/towns, and to promote good public transit!

My thoughts on it: cool, now give it a headphone jack again and I might buy it.

I'm not buying a phone that requires $100 wireless earbud DLC (which honestly feel like just another thing to become e-waste in a few years when the battery gives out).

Just got a Pixel 8 (256 GB) for $510 a few weeks ago. I'm good with that, thanks.

TLJ higher than the prequels is a bold statement. That was the movie that convinced me that new Star Wars was dead on arrival.

ROTS being so low actually surprises me a bit; what's your reasoning for that? If you haven't checked it out, I strongly recommend the novelization of ROTS, it's one of the best Star Wars novels I've ever read.

I have to say, I was really impressed by how well the Pixel 7a did. At $400 now, that's a great (somewhat) cheap option for folks, though I do wish its battery life was a bit better...

I've got a Pixel 8 non-Pro on the way, so I'm excited to see how it performs compared to my old Galaxy S9 :P

Bass player approved.

Alaska's healthcare system kinda works like that, but only for Alaska Natives.

How is this supposed to debunk Pascal's Wager? Genuine question, as the topic brought up here seems to be beyond the scope of what the wager addresses.

I'd love to see those features in phones today; all of those are basically dead in the US market (Xperia 1 V gets two out of three, Zenfone 10 at least gets the 3.5mm jack...might be some cheap Motorola something that still has a jack, as well?).

Me personally, I could even live with just the 3.5mm jack. The whole argument of "it's for waterproofing/making the phone thinner/insert BS excuse here" falls flat when my Galaxy S9 has a 3.5mm jack and the same IP68 rating as the Pixel 8, yet manages to be thinner.

I'll give a third to Fedora, it's definitely a good option (though I'll admit I prefer KDE to Gnome, so I tend to go with the Fedora KDE spin). I'd also agree with several of the other commenters suggesting Linux Mint. It's a pretty good distro to get started on, and the Cinnamon desktop environment is reasonably familiar to those coming from a Windows background.

Still on my Galaxy S9 for now, but I'll be watching for the release of this one. I flatly refuse to buy any phone that does not have a 3.5mm jack, and so far it seems Sony and Asus are the only two players left in that space.

Specifically Native American Alaskans (i.e. those with a tribal ID)

Well, looks like I'm avoiding updates on my Pixel 8 for a while.

Here's a few tips that I either use myself, or see lots of people recommending:

• For quick lockups, I use a U-lock (or D-lock, whatever you want to call it) around the seat tube and whatever I'm locking to. My e-bike is a fat-tire model, so I can't really get the rear tire in there too, but bonus points if you can get the rear wheel, seat tube, and what you're locking to inside of it.
• For longer lockups or stops in higher risk areas, adding in a chain lock or cable lock and doing something similar to what @PugJesus suggested can be a good idea. Essentially, the idea is to get both wheels and the frame interconnected and attached to something secure.
• General rule of thumb suggested to me once: invest in a lock that's about 10% of the cost of your bike (making sure it's a good quality lock, of course). I personally use an Abus Granit X-Plus 540, which has served me very well so far.

Edit to add: Also might not be a bad idea to register your bike on something like Project529. Doesn't really prevent someone from taking the bike, but might help make it easier to get it back.

First Android phone was a Motorola Moto G4. Solid phone, great budget buy at the time. Replaced it with a refurbished Galaxy S9 in 202, which is actually still serving me to this day. My S9 is showing its age now, but I'm refusing to buy a phone that does not have a headphone jack, so I'm going to run it into the ground.

First Android device was actually a Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet (16GB storage, 1GB of RAM). Ended up running Jellybean, and finally KitKat, off of a microSD card to keep it going. Actually still have it, but flashed to Android 7. Gapps doesn't install, but I'm impressed it was able to run as well as it did.

Pixels don't support display out over USB-C? Well, that's dumb. Surprised I've never heard about that being a missing feature before.

At this point, I'd honestly be fine with that too. Unfortunately it looks like one of the only ones around that has two USB-C ports is the Asus ROG Phone 7 & 7 Ultimate, which both already have a headphone jack too, lol.

Bit late to the party, but so far the game seems to be working fine on my Manjaro install (running Wayland+Pipewire, RX 6800 XT).
