THREE Porsches! THREE!

Have you got any clue how many Porsches that is?!?

I liked being able to accidentally brush up against my headphones or putting them down for a moment without them turning off my music.

All people can unless they are in the extreme minority that suffer from highly particular neuropathic disorders that render them absolutely dysfunctional as human beings. Having a weak drive for creativity and imagination is not the same as suffering from a clinical incapability.

This person is not wrong. I'm sadly incapable of breaking the cycle, but for the short periods that I do, my depression is greatly alleviated. Abandoning reddit was probably had the most positive impact on my mental health of anything I've done in years.

THANK YOU. Jesus I've been looking for that for so long. If I had any web dev chops I'd make something like that and integrate with a scraper that takes headlines from all over the world and puts them in a matrix like that. I'd take something like it and do it for reddit or the fediverse as well, scrolling down post by post is such a dumb concept.

The only thing missing is a period.

This is the route I went years ago. Not only do i not feel like lugging around an obnoxiously long buttonless 1kg remote control, within two months the display will be shattered because I sneezed, and I will have to buy a new one because replacing the screen costs as much as a new phone.

I know they do that shit by design. Why would the back side of the phone need to be made of fucking glass? It's literally the only reason I ever buy new phones, the screen is the only thing that ever breaks, and they never survive long enough to be "too old" to use.

None of those have worked for me on Android since a couple of months.

Firefox with uBlock Origin is the last bastion, and don't think that's not on their radar.

My suspicion is that the main purpose of Googles decision is to stop F-Droid and Aurora Store from working.

"No" is what I would prefer to say but for some reason "that is extremely unlikely" hits the point home harder.
