Paying for usenet access and an indexer is worth it to me. My ISP’s only ever gotten on me about torrenting so that’s a last resort for me and it doesn’t work well with “file sharing” nodes on my VPN anyway. Nothing saturates my 500GB plan like usenet downloads.

Certainly better than my 2023 Pixel Fold but mine’s 3 years old. Youtube reviewers said the crease wouldn’t be noticeable once there’s content on it but I can always feel it when I scroll and text doesn’t look perfect over those pixels. I do like having a bigger screen for my failing vision but I waited 2 years and got my open box/refurb unit for $350 last year, I don’t expect that kind of depreciation on this thing.

floorp on desktop. The developers are a team of Japanese students and it works well enough. I’ve had weird right click behavior after some of their many updates but it syncs with mozilla just fine.

Less than a year ago he promised $2k checks from his tariffs. MAGA has the attention span of a guppy.

Last fall I got a refurb OG Pixel Fold for tree-fiddy. I like the more squat form factor and squarish display when in tablet mode than the weird tall rectangles that preceded this year’s Samsung and Apple offerings. It’s a buggy experience but easier on my failing eyes when needed. Apps need to be stretched to the inner screen and nobody’s using the extra space efficiently. I assume Apple will have that fixed by the time theirs is released. For less than $400 at the time, it was either this or a mid-range slab phone and even though I’m not a power user, novelty won out. My phone was the last one to get (relatively) limited OS and security update support, no google snap, or DP alt mode from the USB-C port.

You cannot defeat cocaine confidence with mere knowledge and experience.
