Bahahaha I felt that I didn’t have to add /s to the end of that, I was obviously wrong…
My take? The issue I have with the mega rich is that they (generalization here) aren’t playing by the same rules as you or I. I don’t have an issue, with not paying all of your employees 6 figures. Different jobs, skills, training, and capabilities are (and should be) worth different amounts of money. It’s important that people with good ideas, or business capabilities have avenues of expanding, bettering themselves, and enjoying the fruits of their labor.
When you pay money to write rules that are favorable to you, you become the problem. Money in politics is the problem. Imo, that has enabled all of this. Don’t have good healthcare? Likely it was lobbied for because someone wanted more money. Stuck in prison? Oh yeah, money in politics got you there. Minimum wage hasn’t kept up with inflation? Something, something trickledown-bullshit, money in politics. Kids killed in school constantly? Oh you know…FUCKING MONEY IN POLITICS.
Favorable can be lobbying against health & safety or environmental regulations because it impacts your bottom line. It is donating to political campaigns for tax cuts (you know, fucking bribery). It’s blocking minimum wage hikes to secure your bottom line.
All of that said, how people sleep at night with absurd amounts of money and minimal charity is disgusting. I don’t fault someone for enjoying an oppulant lifestyle…I do fault someone for Scrooge McDucking and hoarding cash…for what? Bragging rights? Power?
TLDR: be gaddamn ethical about it.
That’s not a dog…it’s a raccoon! Oh my god, look at that raccoon wearing a hat!
But if they lose money they can’t invest it and create jobs.
How have you found offline mode to work while traveling? I remember hearing early on it was a bear to use without wifi without extra steps.
I’m in the same boat as you. For me, the ability to be with other people not in front of my computer, would be my driver.
Just blocked the reddit@lemmy.world and my feed is soooo much better.
Really frustrating that all of those above was spammed into all of those communities.
Just rewatched this with my wife the other day, such a good movie!
This is the most interesting one I’ve read so far.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe this year is the year I make the same jump. Really good, practical use of the tool.
Finding what makes you happy and focusing on making sure you’re unapologetically taking care of yourself is a good place to start.
This goes for work, relationships, hobbies, friends, whatever.
Can’t say I’ve always done a great job of it but for me it feels like it has made a difference the older I’ve gotten.
And of course, social media (including lemmy) is horrible for self confidence so don’t binge if you can help it.
This is what I mean. Why isn’t there an option to not auto connect? Why do we need to select per car? It really does feel odd.
Far and away my least favorite aspect of Android auto is not having a simple, easy option to toggle auto connect.
Another poster shared how to disable auto connect through settings - when I went that route my phone no longer would connect to the car. I had to do it, however because it would auto activate my Bluetooth and fight my wife’s phone to connect in our car.
Android auto started as a phenomenal idea, but through its quest to be as convenient as possible, it went too far and became incredibly burdensome if you have multiusers or don’t want to always connect.
Sorry for my rant, Android auto has really been a frustration for me recently, enough to the point where I’ve uninstalled it entirely and am back to using my phone on a mount.
User name checks out…?
Dedication. Hopefully you used a script lol
Got a nice eye roll out of this one from the wife. Mission accomplished.
What phone are you using? Pixel 4A
Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities? Very happy with it. It’s still very quick - never felt a slowdown, it, was and still is cheap to buy, has a good enough camera, good enough battery life, love the back mounted finger print scanner, and is a good size.
Only real downside is it’s at the tail end of google’s security update support.
Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot? Smart phones only - Moto X, nexus 4, nexus 6, essential phone, pixel 4a. Liked all of them, but I think moto x I liked the least & essential phone I liked the most.
How often do you upgrade to a new phone? When my previous one is broken or the OS gets too slow.
What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc. Tablets is all.
Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.) No apple products. I won’t pay premium prices and I’m pretty set on the Google eco system for better or for worse. Have a few windows OS computers either that I built or use for work.
Just did the same & the difference is real, off the bat.
Wholesome AF. Enjoying the discussion.
