Sad to hear as a long time Toyota fan, but really not that impactful personally. The cars from Toyota have really dropped off quality wise post 2019, and used market purchases don't give any money to the company.

The idea of infrared pupil trackers is terrifying.

Imagine the tracking potential for insurance companies, law enforcement, etc...

I know this is offtopic, just the first thought that comes to my mind :(

You speak as though there are two people groups on equal footing doing atrocities here. As if both sides have done the same level of destruction and murder.. That's the crazy part in my opinion.

It would be as if a 6 year old went and punched a bodybuilder, and the bodybuilder went on to curb stomp and break multiple bones in the child's body, and then people defended his retaliation.

It's good to want, and I say that as someone who would dance for joy if an open source phone became viable. If you think starting a new ecosystem and expecting it to be "good, next gen, priced competitively" is feasible via volunteer work anytime soon, I want whatever you're smoking :)

Who is we? what group of people has the dev funding and time to produce FOSS hardware and software to compete with the average android phone?

It does not, but I don't sign into any Samsung/Google things and replace every system app with one from F-Droid including the launcher. The experience is fairly similar to my old pixel with grapheneos like this. I am sure it is far cry from as secure, but I am realistic about my threat model and am willing to make trades to be more sustainable and convenient. The only other difference is the system ui skin, which does its job just fine IMO

Typing this on an samsung xcover 6 pro right now. Costs less than 200 used, has a removable battery, up to 1tb micro SD card support, and a headphone jack.

Here's a much crazier bug report that has been open for 14 years: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=627771

Mullvad disabled port forwarding. Bad for torrents. That was when everyone I know stopped using it.

sys + v can be bound to bring up clipboard history if you are using KDE!

Problem is a lot of them would agree with you on the first one, and say all the billionaires are in fact democrats. It's impossible to even backwards reason with the right/YouTube/fox mind...

I just rebuilt mine and can confirm that most of those resume template builders utilize a lot of word doc "hacks" to format everything, and loading and LibreOffice breaks it.
