Eat them before you eat anything else. When you are hungry, foods tend to taste better, and your body is not trying to tell you to stop eating yet.

You are right. The EMUI outside of China is still based on Android with its own eco-system, although the other EMUI is also based on HarmonyOS which may/may not be compatible with Android, especially in the future. It seems, the phone has disappeared from some international markets altogether, the countries being friendly to China or not, probably because consumers are worried that their phones wouldn’t be supported by critical apps.

Well, you squeeze them, and they squeeze you back. Typical. Like, the US is not expecting that.

Besides the chips, there are still the OS. It’ll take a while yet, if ever, for Huawei phones to gain traction again outside of China. What would you buy: Qualcomm/MediaTek/Huawei(SMIC) chip? What would you buy: Android/Huawei OS?

Concentrate just at the tip of your nose where the breath touches the tip leaving the body, when your breath in, think “in”, when you breath out, think “out”. Determine to keep you mind at that, but be relaxed while doing it. Works well when you are already tired, i.e. at the time that you usually go to sleep.

This is like, thought replacement. It’s a “Buddhist” technique.

I am always paranoid about having unknown wounds on my skin. Almost always chase it away, unless I really need to concentrate.

Despite the Capitol’s riot, a survey showed 1/3 of Americans thought Biden’s presidency was illegitimate. The conservatives see the lawsuits as political prosecutions.

I’d say unless the non-trump voters come out to vote in a historical number like the last election, he stands a good chance of becoming a president again. And a number of states have passed laws that would make it harder for some subsets of voters to vote.

And still wondering if he might actually come back.

If your account is that sensitive, generally no. Fastmail wouldn’t escape the court order to turn over some email account’ IPs either. Plus, for accounts that are not e2e encrypted, the law may just demand the contents of the account.

If you have the state actors as enemies, you have to dial up your securities to a different category altogether.

I migrated to ProtonMail out of curiosity after more than a decade, but when they turned over the IP address of a fucking CLIMATE ACTIVIST to police, I decided to halt that process

The police was able to get just the IP addresses. Hide your IPs with Tor for political activism, etc.

The governments probably stop functioning. Apocalypse ensues.

Often, although I suspect that I just feel bad, and need to make up stories to justify the bad feelings. So, it doesn’t have to be existential.

I totally agree with you. They probably missed a few. Thx for adding one more.

Grease. Cheese. Meat. It’s like, the food for the Gods, if I remember my childhood correctly.

“That momentum is surely gathering pace in the age of generative AI, which we believe presents a remarkable opportunity to create a new stream of revenues, while allowing us to reduce costs across the business” …

News Corp recently reduced staffing costs through widespread redundancies.

I have a hard time going to sleep. If I have any issues, I try to deal with it before going to sleep. Otherwise it doesn’t work.

Also, it appears that sometimes, the deletion fails, and the request doesn’t get federated, leaving the comment/post orphaned.

Yap, hang in there. There are good moments too. Maybe we should concentrate on those.

You know of a good read on the Swiss? They have elements of direct democracies. I wonder how that does.

No kidding. The email itself is smooth. But now, I bet you would have caught it by the sender, though, the paper mentions using gmail addresses for the from field.

When I was a student, if someone gave me free stuffs, I wouldn’t have thought too much about it. People nowadays have to have 0-trust policy for their online comm; this is pretty dystopian.
