By continuing to not follow the law or process as it benefits them like they have been. But good on Dems for the constant pressure. That's exactly what they need to do.

I see the left side of just slightly bigger than the right, so I expect one of those sides to be the ground

And conversely I grant the Sea Turtle a 5/5 for feasting these. Great job. No notes.

That's fair. I had to deal with RHEL at my job for almost a decade and I guess it just made me biased against anything related to it. I had completely written off the entire branch of linux as corporate linux, which is not a fair assessment of it. OpenSuse similarly had corporate roots, but I feel they did a better job at distancing their image from it.

I dont hang around here often, so I dont know the discourse. How is my prejudice against Fedora wrong? I've never used it because of this.

The one thing I don't like about Fedora is how close it is to the Red Hat corporation. I know modern RHEL is downstream from Fedora so they can't suddenly end it, like they did with CentOS, but it still left a sour taste in my mouth.

The problem is that the base was raised on the very conspiracy theory that they are guilty of. The call was coming from inside the house.

"Let he who is not friends with a child sex trafficker, cast the first stone" - is not the defense you think it is.

"Vote blue no matter who", you hypocrites.

From the inside, you really should not. The US is not safe anymore.

I'm guessing the varied game prices for Switch 2 games of $60-80 make it hard to have that one size fits all voucher price.

I assume it had to do with the parents being supporters too.

I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

EDIT (Dec24):
Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends in less than 3 years, I'll probably install GrapheneOS right off the bat. I also did research on Sub-6 vs mmWave as I saw both models were offered and decided on Sub-6 as the more practical technology. Looking forward to this.
