Florida voter here. We have closed primaries and I have a registered party affiliation. I don’t receive any political texts, mostly just fake USPS scams.

Anytime I want to use public WiFi that’s behind a captive portal that requires an email, I give them “[email protected]”

Two in one!

Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you:

“It is this Court’s opinion that this rule infringes on businesses’ First Amendment right to free speech.”

The car itself should never come with something that will require recurring payments.

Cars already do. Satellite radio has been a thing for decades now. I’ve never used it. Never felt the desire to use it. I haven’t even taken the free trial. I’m less annoyed that it exists, and more annoyed that I’m forever fated to receive unsolicited junk mail for this feature that I have to unceremoniously dump in the recycling bin every couple weeks.

As for the remote start, yeah, it’s kinda bullshit that they’ve removed the more permanent, older version of a feature to replace it with something out of the owners’ control. If anything, it should exist in parallel with the key fob button, not replace it entirely. I’m less concerned about the fact that it’s a subscription than I am about the prospect of that feature dropping support down the road with no recourse for the owner.

A proton is a positively charged subatomic particle doing in the nucleus of an atom. But in this context, Proton is a translation layer that allows games that were built for Windows to run on Linux.

I just meant you’d have access to them. Didn’t mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.

Every Star Wars game…

Yeah, I also hate back-button hijacking. I suspect some websites do it to artificially force more page views for ad revenue. Try a long-press on the back button to view the history for that browser tab and click on the most recent page you think won’t redirect.

Makes specific mention of notably-colored ass and balls, shows no pictures of monkey’s backside…

Ahh yes, dropping nuclear weapons right next door, risking fallout in your own territory and pissing off every country around you, as well as all your allies. Why not?

Probably true.

It’s because as the hot air rises, cool air comes in from all sides of the fire. Your body blocks that air from one side, so the prevailing current of cool air feeding the fire is biased towards you and it carries the smoke with it.

If you give them permissions. Speaking from Android. Don’t know how iOS works.

I wasn’t aware of swipe down. Not sure if it was added later or I just missed it.

It’s still there, and not because my phone is slow - even a brand new Pixel with no apps or Google account has this delay. It takes nearly 2 seconds to go home - long enough to make me question if I hit the home button.

Pixel 6 Pro, in use since release… I don’t have any noticeable delay. Pressing the home button (I have 3-button navigation instead of gestures), the transition from foreground app to Nova home screen I’d estimate to be under 1/4 second. Feels pretty instantaneous.

I landed on Nova back in 2013 because it allowed me to assign secondary app shortcuts to icons on my dock that are accessed by swipe-up gestures. My hotbar has:

• phone, but swipe up for contacts
• messages, but swipe up for Gmail
• music player, but swipe up for YouTube
• Firefox, but swipe up for clock app

Haven’t paid any attention to any newer launchers.
