Alphabet didn't turn enough profit this quarter, so they had to make some difficult choices and cut their less used options

Wow things sure changed about Android roms! I still remember how difficult it was to try to simply install a rom through Knox

That seals the deal for me on rooting my pixel. I've been hesitant about rooting ever since I bricked an extra galaxy s3 and nearly bricked my (main device) Verizon galaxy s5

As much as humanly possible, I try to put everything in my day during the 2pm-6pm but when I can't, I do what I call "resets". The day before I need to be awake during the day, I will stay up for about 16-20 hours and then go to bed around 2am. It's essentially resetting my sleep schedule, so of course it occurs mostly during weekends. It's an extremely unhealthy way to change sleep schedules and should be used sparingly, but it's effectiveness can't be beat.

I'm able to sleep almost immediately basically wherever I lay my head, so I've never really had any problems sleeping. However the most important change I've ever made for sleep quality was how I consume caffeine. Yes, I believe you can fall asleep while totally wired, I can too. The problem is that the sleep quality will be terrible and definitely can contribute to insomnia.

So first, the FDA nailed the appropriate amount of caffeine in a day. Don't consume more than 400mg in a day, and keep track. Too much caffeine with overstimulate you and will contribute to any feelings of anxiety while awake or trying to sleep.

Second, stop consuming caffeine several hours before bed. The biological half life of caffeine is between 6-8 hours, so if you have 400mg at 2pm, you'll still have roughly 200mg in your system at 10pm. That's where your sleep quality will get impacted. My personal rule is that I should space out my consumption over the morning, and stop having any caffeine at all in the afternoon.

The only mass production ethical chocolate I trust is Tony's Chocolonely, because they're the most transparent about how they source their chocolate, acknowledge that they can never be perfect in their goal, and actively try to improve conditions for workers that grow cocoa. I will also buy local artisan chocolate while traveling.

Basically, I've decided that chocolate isn't worth the neo-imperialism and slave labor.

I'm excited to see them succeed. I love it when stuff is designed with function over form, and made practically. I'm a tall person, this is the only small electric vehicle I feel I could actually fit in

You mean the table that the US government built by gutting US manufacturing in the 90s?

Tech companies hate disabled people generally, considering one of the largest tech unions in the US had a rally about disability rights earlier today

You mean the people the maintain the biggest logistics network in the world? Not sure, but it sure as fuck is relevant to news about the company that hosts 25% of the internet.

Got it. You believe that the only thing relevant to technology is the things being made, but the people that make those things aren't relevant. Let's see how much tech news will come from those companies when the workers stop working.

Labor is inseparable from it's fruits.

AWS hosts 25% of the internet. It doesn't matter if you think it's not tech related, the company is in tech and unions within tech is a rapidly growing movement. Next you're going to say that workers protesting at Microsoft isn't tech related.
