That’s part of why we’ve been so resistant to reducing our “needs”. That and corporate greed.

Reduce, reuse, recycle.

Congrats on helping average Americans to finally reduce.

So it’s unions to blame that I have 48 directionless hours where I end up destroying myself and alienating people?

No. Take what you like and burn the rest.

I don’t know, but if you find one, let me know. Because if Asus made a new one under their ROG branding, I think I’d be willing to pay the extra cost.

I’ve heard of Dogwelder. He’s creepy.

Huh. Kind of a depressing moment then, but I can see him doing it for the greater good. I guess the few contacts he had with the Endless and Constantine affected him.

Superman’s been woke since 1939. And always supported people choosing to live.

I don’t believe Superman is offering the bottle. He’s holding it and offering the keys.

Those would be great if they worked on cheap handsets. TracFone users should have better security too

When US DNS servers (and Cloudflare) turn off access to and from Poland, I’ll be interested. Until then, the digital taxes are interesting but empty threats as far as the corps are concerned.

Back to a Java flip phone then. Or just off portable radio based computing as a whole. We don’t need portable telephony, and we certainly don’t need to carry portable supercomputers.

It’s not a cyberdeck unless I have trodes and a halo, chummer. But some kind of netbook would be great.

The moment I don’t get to run my own stuff and F-Droid, I’ll be switching off smartphones.

The avalanche definitely ups her count some.

Then Ripley should count too.

Okay, but Kidagakash skews the average so sharply that she’s proof of the need for weigthing.

Also, are Alice & Jane actually considered princesses? Jane is Lady Greystone and I could accept her for that, but Alice is just a kid. And if direct adaptations count, why not Wendy? Why not Tiger Lily (who counts if Pocahontas does)? Or Dejah Thoris, the titular “Princess of Mars”?

It’s free and runs stuff good.

It’s because it’s something constantly in flux. You don’t have an unconscious model of “a phone”, because you’ve changed out your handset so many times that you’re not inherently comfortable with the sensation. And because they’re information displays, they don’t form an unconscious impression.

I love the thought, but it the thinking behind it is very utopian. It doesn’t match the real world. In my experience, if a company can’t make all of the profit from a thing they invest in, they simply won’t invest. I wish that wasn’t the case, but it’s what I’ve seen. The C-Suite and management would rather make 100% profit from living in the dark ages compared to “just” 99% of the profit from pushing the world forward.
