Or perhaps tech companies, specially USA ones, are hostile to people and their rights.

Still rocking my Kindle Keyboard. Physical buttons or nothing for me thanks.

Yup, that's what I said. I was not implying it was a secret.

People with the app are paying with their person Al data. Seems like a fair deal.

I don't understand articles that are completely about a piece of media, but don't show or link to any piece of said media. This article cannot be effective without a video.

Yeah, I would 100% not be in a relationship with a man who cannot cook and host.

Ah I'm glad. That's much better than the solution I had in mind of using the sand from the desert to expand the land into the sea to add extra 100k km of land area, to hide all this embarrassment under the rug.

The first person ones were definitely more motion sickness inducing, but 3rd person view also apparently causes it. There was one person for whom even the 2D game caused some sickness when panning the camera around. I was very surprised.

We tried a "fun" virtual office tool around covid times called Gather Town, which is 2D. People liked the virtual office, but only for certain company events like hackathons or meetups. The general audience totally prefers something like slack for texting and meeting.

We also had an issue with a few people getting motion sickness from any 3D games, so any 3D virtual meeting space was out of the question for our company. A flat 2D UI would be preferable to the "low performance" option that this project provides, which is quite jarring.

Overall GitHub still got significantly worse since the acquisition. Downtime was essentially zero before.

Leather would not provide the tension needed for this. You'd need a core maybe of something else.

Some older banks do have more features in their website than their app. It's usually the ones with the worse, most outdated UIs and almost useless mobile apps. After years of using several mobile-first neo-banks, I switched to a traditional bank and boy, was I not ready for the trip back in time.

That's true. On the other hand, it's trivially easy to salvage and transplant a screen from another Fairphone. There's still people selling FP2 parts in the forums.

Each new Fairphone has pushed the boundaries of what a modular and repairable phone can be, but people must accept that it comes with a very significantly higher price (although in their case that's not only because it's modular, but also fairer wages, more ethical metals, etc). The average person is not willing to pay twice as much for a repairable phone.
