Of course they are.

Was gonna say the same.

I played an ATC game on my phone. Was pretty good at it. Can I has job?

South Africa gets snow at higher elevations in winter. That isn’t really news is it? Or is this an unusual event for some reason?

Edit: Sound more serious. Thanks @Tango@piefed.ca.

That starts with the Pixel 8. Anything older is still 5 years.

I have heard lots of things about how terrible the Pixel 6 is. I have had mine since launch with no issues. Maybe I just got lucky, I don’t know.

It’s pretty much the same in Canada unfortunately.

Precisely why I will buy a used Pixel and put GrapheneOS on it.

That is why I am looking at the Pixel 8. It is supported for 7 years taking it to October 2030. The Pixel 6 only had 5 years of support which ends in October of this year.

As an OG Pebble fan I was really looking forward to getting a Time 2. I am in Canada though and it’s $350 plus after exchange. I had one in my cart but just couldn’t press go.

I have a Galaxy watch 7 that I am looking to replace.

I am really hoping to move away from Google services completely but I also like having notifications on my wrist. I haven’t found a decent replacement yet.

That is why I’m considering the used Pixel 8. GrapheneOS will support the Pixel 8 through October 2030. Maybe by then this Motorola deal will bare fruit.

I don’t trust really Google anymore but I think GrapheneOS without Google services should take care of any risk.

If GrapheneOS was available for other devices I might switch but that is not the case. Maybe this Motorola deal will produce something but that’s still a ways out if it ever happens.

Usenet still exists but there isn’t much going on these days. 99.9% of groups are completely dead but there are some that hang on. Even those have low posting numbers but not zero, so I’ll take it.

I have started going back to forums and RSS feeds when I can find them. Most of the forums though are pretty dead. I have even started using Usenet again for actual text newsgroups.

I am hoping for a bit of a resurgence as more people move away from algorithmic social media but I won’t hold my breathe on that.
