Yeah, I have a 7 pro and it seems more like top of mid-tier device rather than a flagship, but I got it for GrapheneOS and will buy Pixel again just because of it.
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 5 days ago:
I use Tuta. It works decently well.
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 5 days ago:
If you are willing to forego Google Pay, I strongly recommend GrapheneOS.

I have to tell you what calories are, because it sounds so incredibly unhinged.
Calorie is a physical unit of energy. For food, calories are measured by removing all water from the food, turning it into powder, enclosing it in a metal container, submerging said container in water, measuring the temperature of the water, then setting the food on fire, which causes it to explode, and measuring the temperature of the water again.
By taking the difference between the temperature measurements, you can calculate how much energy the food released when exploded and that is the foods calories.
So calories basically tell you how explosive a food is.
What does that have to do with anything? Who knows.

FlorisBoard is a FOSS keyboard, that apparently has the space bar cursor thing (I just found that out, thank you).
It also has glide typing but I don’t use it so idk how good it is. Still would recommend giving it a try. Very customizable.
- Comment on I'm seriously proud of this 2 weeks ago:
There is like a billion free keyboards for android, even FOSS ones and you can disable the autocomplete on gBoard as well. But you go blame capitalism for every thing you mess up in your life.
- Comment on I'm seriously proud of this 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, but they chose to use redit and gboard. Like 2/3 self-inflicted.

Idk, I never used the weird advanced features of YAML, but the basics seems really nice for stuff you want a non programmer to edit.

The question is over 11 years old, so idk what is so funny about old question using old PHP.

Also, the drone falling could hit someone or something, but the chances of hitting the drone or whatever it is seems neglidgable.
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 5 weeks ago:
Please, do NOT shoot at airborn targets, or any target where your are not certain a missed shot will be safe.

How cute. The mental patients are playing a game, where they pretend half of them are normal <3
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 month ago:
Yes and no. The survey is always scoring something 1-10 and then a text field on explanation/how to improve it. If you are too worried, you can just give the score. Even so, most people just fill them in normally and as I said, I did not see anyone regret being honest.
- Comment on Indian start-up Yes Madam fires employees who indicated being stressed in the survey 1 month ago:
In our corp, our managers get the answers and results without the names of employees that gave the answers. Did not see anyone regretting being honest on the survey yet.

As I understand it, the .su was not really an intentional exception as much as it happened before the strict rules were written down.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
Sorry, do I need to handhold you through it? Are you unable to figure out what the definition of blackmail is? “If you don’t bring an umbrella, you will get wet since it is supposed to rain” is not blackmail. Unless you are 10, I am very concerned that you can’t comprehend this.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
What I am describing is not blackmail. It is the same as saying that leaving unguarded food next to starving people encourages theft of said food. That is not blackmail. I am saying nothing beyond that. I am not commenting on morality of the situation or what the right thing to do is. Just pointing out it is not quite as simple.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
Thanks for the extra info.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
That makes sense, thanks for the info.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
Stop defending them
Idk anything about them. I am just pointing out that having bad execs (whether incompetent, careless or outright embezzlers) is far worse than paying 1-2%. As far as I know, no one has came up with a better way to get good execs than paying them a lot.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
You are not necessarily paying of the same people. Even most honest/righteous people like money. So the charity willing to pay them get those and the charities that don’t risk getting the kind of people who don’t mind embezzling.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
Would be nice if that worked. If you embezzle the money smartly, e.g. giving lucrative contracts to friends consultancy firm, there is pretty much no way to prove it.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
I am not an exec, so no it is not. It is just statement of fact.
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 1 month ago:
While not ideal, I would like to note that the charity has a revenue of 392 M$. Spending 1-2% on salaries of top exec is not that bad if it prevents them from misusing the funds. A lot of the time, the alternative to high salaries for people in power is those people giving in to corruption since the risk/benefit encourages it. Just look at politics for an example.
- Comment on Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match? 1 month ago:
Well that sucks.
Also, can’t stop thinking about that episode of The Newsroom with Boston marathon bombing. 10 years since it aired and this shit is only getting worse.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 1 month ago:
I have no idea. I have never seen any job ask this and there is no context given in this post. May not be job application at all.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 1 month ago:
If the quiz is “Do you have what it takes to be a you-tuber?”, or something like that, then yes. If it is some corporate bullshit, the they should fuck off.
- Comment on Hustle? In this gig economy? 1 month ago:
No, but if those irregular paychecks are high enough, you may be able to create a reserve to work around it. TI’s how owning businesses work.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 1 month ago:
Yeah, only around 2-3% of the white voters switching Dem would make up for the Latinos voting for Trump. On the other hand, blaming the voter instead of candidate is losing the point.
- Comment on Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages 2 months ago:
I mean sure, that is how some (mostly strategy) games do it, but for an FPS, figuring out where the buffer should be would be a programmers nightmare. I guess you would have to try to calculate all possible line of sights a player could have within some buffer time and then all players that could in theory enter them… Add physics and it is practically impossible.
Also, corner hack is useful enough and it does not address aimbot. IMO the answer is some combination of human moderation and ability to play with “friends” instead of randos. E.g. you could ask people to like or dislike a player at the end of a match and try to pair players that liked each other in the past.
