Let’s stop defending companies

Let's stop making strawman arguments. Nowhere did I "defend companies", I talked about my own experience using a 32 GB phone. It is enough for me. Nothing you say can will change how I use my phone or what I require out of it.

I just explained all the ways in which a 32 GB phone is sufficient for my needs, with room to spare. Not everyone is glued to their phone 24/7, some of us still just use them as basic tools and 32 GB is enough storage for that.

The word hasn't seen widespread use as a "disability slur" for a very long time. The great irony of this very vocal online minority continuing to fake offence and turn it into a political left vs right thing is that they are actually trying to take us back to the world in which the word has real power. If they were genuinely concerned about the word then they would just shut the fuck up and let it exist as the generic insult it has become.

He’s a zionist. It sucks he hid being a nazi like that for so long

What 24/7 algorithmic social media does to a generation.

32 GB is enough for phone calls, messaging, internet (social media, email, browsing), banking, 2FA, news, shopping, calendar, weather, podcasts, music and video streaming, navigation, basic camera usage, etc. I used an XZ1 Compact with Android 14 for a large chunk of last year and only used 23 GB of the 32 GB with all of this and more.

What would you suggest as a good alternative? Lineage?

Nothing is really a direct alternative to GrapheneOS overall, it leans into security a lot more than other privacy ROMS. However, if you just want to deGoogle your Pixel and improve its privacy, another option is iodéOS which is a fork of LineageOS with some further privacy enhancements and an inbuilt tracker blocker. Updates are a couple of weeks slower than GrapheneOS, but you can lock the bootloader following installation. You can check if the Pixel you want is supported here. There are also community builds for some of the unsupported Pixels. The 9 series hasn't been added yet beyond a community build, although I'm sure it is coming soon.

The only players that really got shafted were the South Americans, and even then I believe their ping is still playable although it has definitely taken a significant hit. Europeans have their own merged server so no one should give a fuck about them, East Coast Americans are in the low 100s at most which doesn't affect gameplay much. The main problem is just that Connery still appears to have stability issues (possibly relating to one of the two gateway servers). If they can fix that, and to be fair it is a big if given the issue was never fixed when the game had more resources on it a few years ago, then the server merge will be a success. A West Coast server makes more sense for the game over the next few years, particularly considering SolTech is on its last legs and could be shutdown soon too.

I agree with others that the ending fails to live up to the rest of the film, but I still think it's worth watching because the other 90%+ is excellent political thriller type stuff.

Yeah the ending is perfectly fine in theory, there just isn't enough dedicated to it throughout the rest of the film for it to work effectively. I haven't read the novel so I wonder if that did a better job in this regard.

Maybe they finished the game lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Possibly, I'm not invested enough in their films or the franchise to notice that stuff though. I guess that makes me part of the joke!

 

What do you think is in store for this game in 2025? How much more work does the general gameplay need, what new additions will we receive and how far away is the full release?
