Usually a lurker.Maybe I should've just shut up and thought for a bit longer before writing that comment...

If you want to talk to me elsewhere, you know how to reach me.

  • This year i was sort of flamed 3 times and the 4th had me banned from some lemmy.ml community. ¯(ツ)

    What I did (in my opinion. Can't say what the users interpreted)?Advocate for equal gender rightsSay that China is bad (and the US)Some other stuff about China or something which I forgot alreadyCall out unneccessary racism in a headline instead of just mentioning minorities or just residents that were being harmed by the musk-rat.

    Was I right in those discussions? Mostly not or at least not from most anglesWas I 100% in the wrong? I wouldnt say so.

  • Ah I see, the pre-IPO share holders.

  • How early?I made my entry on the 8th June and sold on the 15th June expecting the crash.

    (To any zealot wanting to dump on me for trying to acquire wealth for a home: Please leave out any musk bad, spacex bad etc. comments out. Not interested in those)

  • Yay

  • Promote purchase?How? You never gave google the money

    Use of google device?If you promote the logo while using? Maybe.Use a case or cover it with something like a vinyl skin. All phones look almost the same now anyway.

    Thriving second hand market.Yes. I can agree buuuut just buy the model from 2 years ago (assuming a new model every year) for >50% off, swap the battery and your somewhat good with an acceptable phone.They don't hold the value as an iphone so this isnt too far off.But if you buy the previous model right after the launch of a new one for 20-25% off then yes, you are fueling the used-market prices.

    Example:The canon 90d was selling with a kit lense for about 900-1000€ in a very good condition.I filtered sales on ebay and made myself clear to buy it for 100€ or less.A few weeks later I scored the sale for 800€ with 2 batteries and the whole packaging. Body was also only lightly used and a bit of dust specks inside the lense.You can make good deals if you want to. Mindlessly consuming will result in what you describe.

    Personally I would swap the battery in my phone if the storage wasnt a bit small for me.And if I get myself a 256gb model next time I might have enough for the next time my battery has only 80% leftover capacity and I will attempt the swap instead.I will also avoid getting a Samsung (bloatware), OnePlus (exited EU market. Had bad experiences with their OS flavor), Sony (tempting but way too expensive) and Apple (Is on my blacklist for the walled garden).Googles phone are still affordable enough and has acceptable photography quality on par with Samsung, Sony and Apple.

    So what else can you recommend me?I need solid battery life (doing daily gps tracking with gpslogger and dawarich) Able to automate tasks (I found Tasker and probably can never life without it anymore :p)Able to shoot photos (acceptable for a photo book if my DSLR isnt handy)256GBBudget is around 1000€ or less. Prefer to keep it around 800€ or less. Doesnt need to be cutting edge.No need for headphone jack. Am fine with my BT headsets.

  • Doesnt matter. The seller would buy the new shiny thing anyway.

    Also I don't trust Google to not put some hardware exploit into hardware

    Different issue i can't address.

  • Buy 2nd hand.Google wont see your dime but you reap the benefits.

  • Balanced take. I can support that angle.

  • I understand your point

    First reasonable response

    but it is a piece of relevant information when Elon is considered

    Both position (mine and you (+ seemingly the whole thread)) can be true.

    Thanks for explaining your position.

  • Bruh.Sure thing buddy. If that makes you feel better?

    I see humans. Not black, white, yellow, rainbow colored humans.

    Minorities are oppressed and fucked with. That is for sure. Needing to call it "black" in a headline instead of "minority" is cloaked racism in of itself.

  • Sure. But that's not a headline thing that needs mentioning.

    Instead it should be something like "In his racism fanaticism, Musk ordered XY gas turbines to be installed especially near residents (of a minority)".

    Can that can't be proven to be actually cause of racism (it likely is).

    But the other headline (currently being used) is also racial profiling.

  • Would it matter if it was near 100k white instead of 100k black residents?No, 100k residents are actively being harmed.

  • Why does it matter if the community is inhabitated my residents of a dark skin color?

    1. Are Lemmy users really that fixated on skin color?
    2. Are we in that need for upvotes and non-existant karma
    3. Do you want to spark controversial discussions?

    Why did you do felt the need to mention "black communities".And don't tell me it's because you copy pasted the title of the source article or something.

  • At best IR cameras for inside-out head tracking

  • And politicians.

  • The moments I had my phone, face down and on my lap or between my legs, were the moments I had used it on traffic while at a stop light and had to go before I was done.

    I see this as a valid charge.The amount is a little bit extreme but still valid.I would be mad af but couldnt argue against it.

  • Fun to see how others ended up.

  • But not less enough to prosecute them.

  • Would have pronounced it like regular telephone

    Fun with words (sparkle)
