Seems like such a company would quickly drop their journalism branch if it's the merch that's providing traffic and revenue.

Have we gotten past the point if irreparable damage? Yes. Does that mean it's pointless to reduce further damage as much as possible? Not even a little.

I could buy a new pixel 4a for under €200. On ifixit a new screen is €100, battery €40, usb-c port €30. After shipping costs and paying someone to do the work it would be more expensive and the front camera lens would still be broken. Fixing it really isn't worth it, and if I'm buying new I might as well go for an upgraded model that's gonna get updates for longer.

I considered it, but the battery life has become terrible too. I'm pretty sure the front camera lens is shattered too, nooit just the screen. I could live with just fixing the port if I wasn't going on a big international vacation later this year. I really need a good battery for that, and at that point I'd rather just buy something new.

I'm still rocking my 4a but I'm looking to upgrade soonish. Screen is cracked, especially around the front cam making it useless. The USB-C port is in a terrible state and will barely connect with my charters anymore.

Might get this one. I looked into the new Fairphone but I just couldn't justify the price for a device that's barely better than what I already have

I should also take a look at previous pixel models. I don't need better performance. The only things I would like to improve on is getting 5g, wireless charging so loose ports aren't a problem anymore, and a better camera.

To be fair baldurs gate wasn't developed in the US

I only said it wasn't ok to victim blame, I'm not at all saying discord is the victim.

The article says the code was not hosted on discord. Even if it was, the code does not infringe on any Nintendo copyright. Having a grudge against discord doesn't make it fair to victim blame

I assume Mr Tyson refers to Neil degrasse Tyson in this case since it's a science question but not sure why he's relevant in this case.

I don't know, I just don't think she's comfortable with fighting this battle in public. Considering how wild some conspiracy theories were getting, this info was probably just released to shut people up.

That's more of a :q than a :p, really.

Ready player one wasn't too bad

 

This is a feature of manictime that I find incredibly useful, I'd love to know if anyone is familiar with a FOSS tool that has similar functionality.
