My favorite enshittification of Amazon is that, plus, the bonus fact the filtering acts different if you pay for prime. The filtering works better with prime. It should work the same regardless if one pays for prime or not.

They basically deliver a shopping experience that is worse unless you pay them money monthly. It’s enshittification two layers of abstraction deep.

I drive a hybrid in rural areas, and I try to always flip the car into electric only mode when I see a cyclist coming up so they don’t have to inhale my tailpipe. I’m sure it isn’t much in the grand scheme, but I hope they at least breathe a little better.

Keeping one’s existing car if less than 20 years old, or buying a used efficient hybrid or used electric would both go further than buying a brand new electric. The typical capitalism throwaway wasteful lifestyle of the last century isn’t going to stop climate change, even if it has a cute green leaf icon on the dashboard.

Is it possible it had an access panel with input ports somewhere around it? I’ve seen that in hotels in the past. On the side, or underneath, or in a drawer.

The human brain is hardwired for an “Us vs. Them” viewpoint.

I kinda wonder, is it? Asked in a non-antagonistic way. One often sees kids before they are taught to hate be generous and caring towards others. I wonder if it’s less hardwired and more ingrained in societal upbringings. Especially in the USA where binary thinking is quite profitable.

I can also see it being hardwired, however, as it would likely live adjacent to the base survival instinct.

How do you find what platforms run on QNX? I’d prefer that on my car over other options.

That’s a good idea, however, how would a person in the US find a foreign provider that would offer roaming service in the US? Or was that statement more about when roaming internationally?

They should have just used the Qualcomm ultrasonic sensor that Samsung uses under their displays. It is brilliant and even works through some types of screen protectors, and some types of (medical) gloves. But Google seems hell-bent on never using Qualcomm components in their phones anymore, to the detriment of their users.

* per location in part of city (overlapping districts), and also dependent upon the type of merchandise being sold.

Also, in Google’s attempt to push RCS, they’re narrowing what application are allowed to use the SMS lib. They already partnered with Samsung so Samsung would removed RCS support and ostensibly deprecated their own Messages app for Google’s.

Google’s long-game is to only have one SMS app on Android, their own, much like the way they’re closing off the rest of the Android ecosystem slowly from every other vector.

Trying to support SMS on Signal long-term would just be an exercise in futility.
