I used to like Manjaro but they way they handled the recent pacman changes were so terrible that I no longer recommend it. It still has a great GUI and I think other arch based distros could learn from.

Most regulatory agencies classify Chilean sea bass as “overfished,”...

They changed the name to something which is morally not cool to eat.

Did they put an an "AI" in charge of marketing?

Huh. Why is both the Man-of-war fish and the man o' war (aka man-of-war) jellyfish (although its not really a jellyfish) both also called bluebottle?

this fish lives within the tentacles of the Portuguese man o' war, feeding on its tentacles and gonads.

Oh.

My first thought: That's what short links and QR codes are for.

My second thought: Heinz says sorry for ketchup QR code that links to porn site

A reinstall of Windows would get rid of any manufacturer bloat, but not the official bloat that comes with Windows. These scripts seem to be for the Windows bloat.

Totally. I have one of the newer pixels and it's on the smaller side relatively, but it's the biggest phone I can use comfortably.

I wear a size medium glove and it's insane to me that it's hard to find a phone I can use comfortably in one hand.

At the same time, I've started to realize that I should do less with my phone anyway. So I really don't need it to do to much besides get a good reception and have a day or so of battery life. The most demanding thing I've asked my phone to do recently was to emulate some Nintendo games and run llama3.2:1B. But both things are better done either on a device meant to perform that workload or via a self hosted server where my phone is just a client.

I'm with you on those specs. Maybe the best features of new phones is the water resistance. Idk of its possible to have both water resistance and removable batteries and SD cards, but I miss being able to swap out to a fully charged battery or upgrade the storage at a whim. If I hadn't choose tho, id stick with the water resistance.

So to add to your specs I'd like:

  • water resistance
  • 256 SD card minimum
  • battery last 24hr minimum
  • ability to switch from WiFi to cell mid call
  • don't need more than a 1080p oled display on a phone
  • comes without any bloatware preinstalled
  • runs linux with ability to sudo

I like the fan theory that jurassic park could have worked if they followed modern guidelines for zoos in terms of meeting the minimum enclosure sizes per animal and making sure that the animals were properly stimulated. But John Hammond just cut every corner he could.

Thank you for both the correction and source. I will be using this in the future.
