I’m sometimes super slow at the start of self checkout. If the bags are stuck together, not open, and if I didn’t bring my own, sometimes it takes me 2 minutes just to open a plastic bag. I’m trying my hardest!

old system of writing them down on paper

That’s harder to steal/hack by someone across the globe.

The Human Cannonball? He got launched out of the cannon and did one flip before getting caught by the net.

That’s what it looks like to the untrained eye. But they’re not really going to fire a person out of a cannon. That’s not safe. So he just huddles in the cannon, they light a decoy fuse, it makes a bang (with no projectile), and he spring out and jumps that distance by himself. Requires a lot of core and leg strength.

NPR quits Twitter after being falsely labeled as ‘state-affiliated media’

Clickbaity, sure. But this is one of the justifiable clickbaity times. They said the meat of the article, while clickbait, that was the essence of the problem. “I’ll give you a child.” That’s the issue. It doesn’t really matter if he’s randomly setting his sights on her, or if she said she was childless. That part does not matter. They could’ve left everything out but the quote. The part that does matter, is he said he’ll give her a child without being asked.

You agree it’s a terrible thing for him to say. Is it less terrible for him to say it because she signed as childless? No? Then context does not matter. Yes, it’s less terrible because she said it? Well, then there’s the hiccup as we disagree on that part and we’ll disagree on the context, too.

So there’s no meaningful missing context. With or without the context, it is widely understood to mean “I’ll impregnate you.” I don’t see how that “missing context” makes the headline “unfair,” as you put it.

There is a context to what was said that is not fairly put in the title of the article…

What’s the context? The only context I know is she endorsed Kamala and signed her name as Childless Cat Lady. Musk didn’t like that and said this line. Did I miss anything?

If not (and even if I did), as a male talking to a female, saying you’re going to “give you a child” pretty much only means “I’m going to impregnate you.”

CalyxOS relocks the bootloader and they supported the FP5 right after launch.

CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.

Fairphone’s devices do not meet basic security requirements for hardware, firmware and the software device support including drivers. Please look at the hardware requirements at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices and check for yourself how many of those are provided by the Fairphone. Even the Fairphone 5 has a CPU core from 2021 without even PAC and BTI.

You can still be part of a project without being lead, to be part of the “we.” Did he contribute and/or is he part of GrapheneOS, yes? So he’s part of the “we.”

Or does only the lead developer get the “we?” Wouldn’t that make it more of an “I” instead?

We’ve heard this one in 2016.

He was a convicted felon who had the Supreme Court in his pocket who granted him immunity as well as an attempted insurrection in his honor and he saluted hostile generals?

I don’t remember if he promised to be a dictator on day one or had already praised dictators back then, so I’ll grant you that one out of…everything else he’s done since then which was not covered in 2016.

It’s a game of chicken now.

And if you’re not scared of a convicted felon who promises to be a dictator on day one and has the Supreme Court in his pocket who granted him immunity as well as a cult like following who stormed the Capitol to attempt an insurrection yet who also praises dictators and salutes their generals and has nothing to lose getting ahold of the Presidency then I don’t know what to tell ya. But sure, let’s play chicken with the saner and lesser of the two evils and help MAGA win.

Why do people phish, dumpster dive, or social engineer? So they can snoop and grab anything of value.

I’d love to have working NFC pay

NFC works. NFC payment is dependent on the app as some block those that fail Play Integrity / Google certification. Google Wallet / Pay does not work for payment because Google blocks it.

Anker Prime Charger (250W, 6 Ports, GaNPrime): $169.99 but there’s a $30 code that shows up for me, which brings it to one penny below your $140 too steep threshold.

Do you have Google services installed? I use MicroG…

Yes, I have Google Plays Services, Google Services Framework, and the Google Play Store installed, which are all sandboxed. MicroG isn’t supported by GrapheneOS.

https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Nope, nor do I intend to. GrapheneOS frowns upon rooting and modifying the system as it typically widens your attack surface. I’m not using a secure OS then going around to purposefully make it less secure.

but I’m concerned RCS is going to become a deal break for me

For what it’s worth, I have RCS working with GrapheneOS. I don’t think I did anything special, but it did take awhile. I did see stuff on their forum about others having a bigger issue with it, though.

And of course, I prefer Signal, where possible.

Even just being rooted on the stock Pixel rom is a fight.

That, I can see being more of an issue than an unmodified, trusted 3rd party OS. If I remember right, rooting makes the device fail Verified Boot:

It establishes a full chain of trust, starting from a hardware-protected root of trust to the bootloader, to the boot partition and other verified partitions including system, vendor, and optionally oem partitions.

I’ve got old apps that won’t work any more.

I’m actually for this. The bar to entry for the Play Store is too low with too many low quality and unmaintained apps. I’m all for booting insecure and super old apps. They cheapen the ecosystem.
