Because we need innovation, even if we got on just fine then

Or headphone jack

Be warned that the latest models ASUS removed the ability to unlock the devices

Not under your specs but the Sony Xperia line offers a headphone jack + microSD, can be unlocked, & has flagship specs (1 & 5). The 5 & 10 models are also smaller devices that actually fit in one hand too. This characteristic combo does not come in the other models folks are suggesting. Older models have LineageOS for microG support if you want an ungoogled phone (but beware the stock camera app is trash).

Nope… SEA

Must be a different part of Asia as no one uses WhatsApp here

My phone has both, but there is literally only one flagship left on the market with the specs

I just want a simple headphone jack that has worked for like the last century instead of relying on flaky Bluetooth that becomes a physical fingerprint, but apparently that’s too much to ask for in phones now

GitLab is a publicly-traded business like Microsoft with GitHub. We shouldn’t be surprised they fold to corporate interest.

The new owners seemed to have gotten the message to at least self-host a mirror so the corporations can’t control you. More should do this as the D in DVCS is for distributed—distributed collaboration is a supported model for Git, but also Darcs, Pijul, Mercurial, etc.

I would agree but I spent very little time in my domicile & haven’t set foot within US borders in years. Seeing that I don’t pay (local) taxes or otherwise participate in the local community or economy, I would argue it would be unethical if I did vote in a place that doesn’t represent me & I don’t understand too well—like voting straight ticket without looking into any candidates. Last time I did a mail-in, I only checked State-level boxes since those you can easily research online & are more broad-reaching than the local level where only locals should be casting ballets for their community.

If I could vote on issues that actually affect me, I absolutely would—like FBAR reforms where you aren’t seen as a criminal for having more that $10k in a foreign bank where you actually have your address, tax reforms that took TurboTax out of the equation as the only ‘affordable’ option that actually lets you file with a non-US address instead of a no-service error, or Medicare/Medicaid reform that allowed vouchers or reimbursement for using services abroad rather than it being a money sinkhole you pay into your whole life, even if you don’t live there, but can’t redeem any care unless on US soil. These are never ballot measures & instead requires, ugh lobbying or a representative willing to champion these topics seen niche despite there being more citizens outside the US than some States in population.

We are anti-corporate takeover in here yet you host your code on a proprietary, Microsoft-owned product without providing a mirror?

Niche doesn’t mean you can’t still pick it up. Ignore the sibling about bad UX as it’s more than servicable & try XMPP today 💪
