The phone in question was midrange. Sure, not super cheap and I can see how a cheaper one would make it less attractive to repair, but still. (Plus I paid like, 50€ for the screen repair, I think?), and batteries were 15€ from eBay plus 20 minutes of my time.

But this is kinda beside the point: as long as it runs your apps, why upgrade.

squeezing as much life out of your device as possible

FUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUU

Last phone I had for 7 years, through a screen replacement, 2 battery replacements, and a switch to LineageOS.

And I would not even call that "squeezing as much life out of your device as possible".

Das wäre halt echt perfekt für eine peertube Instanz

Graphene explicitly says the 400k are worldwide. You cannot then go ahead and use the US numbers for your comparison. From your own source, Google shipped 10 million Pixel 9 devices in 2023 alone. This does not account for other/older pixel models, or the sum total of sales before that point, or since.

Why not just share the actual number: worldwide, there's 400k users.

All the fash stuff is incredibly bad, but I cannot get over this:

I personally found a lot of enjoyment in the Framework discord. The format of a discord server is a lot more useful for chatting and discussion within a community than something like a forum (which seems a little more siloed).

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. EITHER YOU ARE INSANE OR I AM.

Yeah... But at the same time, they didn't HAVE to do 4 arcs and to catch up to Rogue One. They could have just made one arc into a season and given it the room to breathe.

Edit: there are seriously great sets in the Season, which just makes the... Suboptimal... Ones stand out.

No, don't worry, not as bad as Mando. And again, plenty of people praise Andor S2 even beyond S1, so, don't get discouraged by just my opinion.

For me, the first arc was just... Bad. For multiple reasons, which you will discover. The second arc gets a lot better, the 3rd I actually really enjoyed and the 4th was... Ok.

Again. To me.

Discussing this without spoilers is difficult, but in very general terms: I feel like they threw overboard too much of the gritty realism for "cool" character moments. Instead of logically motivated decisions, things happen because plot. Chances for character development are squandered left and right. Everything is rushed (because apparently this should have been 4 seasons, not 4 arcs?), except when it is super dragged out for no reason. This deals a blow to the impact of scenes, because characters have no time to react to devastating occurrences. And, while petty, I have to mention it: the set design got way worse, esp. in arc 1, but also sometimes later on. Extremely obvious greenscreen/the volume scenes for scenes where it would have been trivial to find onsite locations.

It is still the best star wars out there, just... A 6.5/10 instead off 11/10.

In my personal opinion.

I absolutely love season 1, it might be the single best season of television I have ever seen. The acting, the sets, the music, the writing!, the way it weaves its themes into the story masterfully, ever second feels intentional and characters are real, breathing beings that grow and change and hurt, and how every action has a consequence and motivation. It's perfect.

Season 2 - to me - is bafflingly bad, with so many issues that I've legitimately, and somewhat ironically, given the topic of this post, considered starting a YouTube channel over it. It feels like after finally being given a good Starwars show in season 1, the fan-base has gaslit itself into liking season 2.

Nee, ich fand die einfach so viel schlimmer. Insulinspritze gar kein Problem.

Viel Spaß damit. Hatte irgendwann die Nadeln satt und bin wieder bei Gel. (Und das sag ich als Diabetikerin...)
