I don’t understand how could you pay such a vast amount of money for a phone that is not even subpar… it is unusable by your own testimony. Not trying to be snarky or anything, but why didn’t you return it?
ssizn··on Interest in heat pumps has increased dramatically in recent years
It sounds like something fancy but it’s common where I live. It’s usually hot all year round so it made sense to buy an air conditioner with a heat pump built in. Although it’s been a few years since we last turned it in because it’s never cold enough to justify the electricity usage given the always high prices here in Europe. So perhaps it doesn’t even work anymore :P

ssizn··on Apple overtakes Android to pass 50% share of smartphones used in US
It hasn’t received updates, not even security updates, for years. It’s unacceptable for me to use a phone that doesn’t have security updates. On the other hand the other day Apple released a security update for the iPhone 5s, released in 2013.

ssizn··on Bibliogram, Open-source front-end for Instagram, is being discontinued
If everybody accesses Instagram from bibliogram, bypassing ads and data collection techniques, who’s going to pay for the service? I know that your answer will be “so close it”, but that’s hardly what the users of the platform want.

Instagram has a monopoly on what exactly
ssizn··on The Portuguese can no longer afford to live in Portugal
>Many thousands are going to freeze to death in their homes this Christmas.

Unlike in Europe. Oh wait.

ssizn··on California Declares Grid Emergency

You conveniently omitted all folders with gitignore files.
ssizn··on Stable Diffusion is a big deal
I tried to find where the implementation in your code is but there are like a thousand files spread over a hundred folders.
ssizn··on Spat at, abused and run off the road: why do some people hate cyclists so much?

ssizn··on France Prepares $100 a Month Electric-Car Leasing Plan
You will own nothing and you will be happy.

ssizn··on Amazon is not going to make a bid for Electronic Arts – sources
What PC games do not have serious botting or cheating problems? We need better kernel mode attestation systems.

ssizn··on Apple is building an ad empire as its iPhone privacy crackdown weakens rivals
I agree. The iPhone is indeed not perfect, but Android makes me grow white hair. (I don’t use the news app though. Can’t say anything about it. If they start putting ads around the system I will think of alternatives.)
