I don’t have any actual research, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pixel itself doesn’t really make money at all. One of those “get people hardcore into the Google ecosystem to get their money/data” things.

25 cents have been added to my swear jar, don’t worry!!

“Sending climate protesters to prison shows the law is an ass”

Headline writer had fun with this one!

Read the title, thought “oh, the first nations folks are gonna be PISSED” and was pleased to find out it was their idea.

Just in time for the Bell Riots 👀

Very sad article and very depressing that I was not surprised at all while reading it!

I’ve said for the longest time, Apple could put iMessage on Android, charge for it, and make plenty of money (mine included). So I was very intrigued by Sunbird! But I took one look at Sunbird’s website and knew something was wrong. Maybe it was the lack of a clear idea for how they’ll make money or that they didn’t initially disclose the technology behind it.

Suffice to say: I am not surprised by this.

Yes, but nothing has changed in my experience as of yet. I am not a true T-Mobile customer like I was before I switched to Mint.

I’ve used Mint for a little over a year, no major issues past setup. I’ve noticed being “deprioritized” a few times but it hasn’t been terrible. Only thing is that T-Mobile was definitely better / easier for international roaming.

I grew up on forums / IRC / IMs, later transitioned to Myspace, then Twitter / Facebook / Tumblr / Instagram. I had a lot of fun over the years, it definitely saddens me that I can’t get the things I liked about those experiences back.

Ahhh, that’s a bummer. I used to live in a city with one, now live in a city that sadly lacks one - hopefully they expand into both of our areas soon!

If you’ve got a Micro Center near you, that’s the way to go. They may not be small but they’re definitely not Best Buy and their selection is typically great, barring any industry-wide shortages.
