I’d prefer an easily removable battery, headphone jack, upgradable storage, etc etc. not just a thin phone with a thick case on it.

I consider cases an unfortunately necessary evil.

I prefer to go raw most of the time.

I like bigger phones, but I hate camera bumps.

Just make the damn thing thicker and flat on the back.

I miss my note 9, the last flat backed flagship phone.

I’d recommend giving it another watch if it’s been a few years, it’s not that bad we just like making fun of it, nothing gross or inappropriate happens. She doesn’t “groom him” at all, he misreads her kindness as affection because he not as mature as he thinks, she pushes back against his adolescent crush and they connect on a more real and human level than that. She’s also the teacher you see at the start of your name too, which is a nice little connection to see she’s doing OK a few years later.

Its actually one of my favourite shorter films (it’s only 45 minutes), I first saw it in 2013 and thought it was good but a bit odd in subject matter, but I’m 34 now and understand it on a different level, that is, sometimes you find your strongest emotional support in the people you’d least expect, and because of that I connected with it on a really deep level…

Still got the feet though, but these days I’m into that I guess.

Shinkai films always relate back to some form of separation, time, space, etc,

Garden of words is separation by age…

Yes its unhinged AF but I love it. Its got gorgeous animation, hypnotic rain scenes, its got feet, its got grooming, its got super pretty edge coloring… What what were those two things?..

A certain Steve miller band song comes to mind.

Transflexive displays can work, but they arent as easy on the eyes as e-paper and they have poor contrast in direct sunlight.

I love my Boox Note 3. It’s am older device but still gets updates lots of tweaks for tuning the display on a per app basis, runs Google apps etc. I use it mainly as a reader for books and manga but also for drawing notes and browsing the Web.

I wish TCL would stop referring to it as electronic paper, it’s a matte LCD with some desaturated modes for eye comfort.

for me, the major selling point of a true e-paper display is sunlight readability, if your “electronic paper” LCD cant match e-ink, then it’s not good enough.

The main E-ink patents are due to expire in 2026, so we should see some rapid development after that.

Wow that’s a surprisingly big jump in performance for a software based AV1 decoder.

its kinda like MQTT for humans rather than machines.

beehaw are trying to be a perfectly moderated and “high quality” community and they are struggling to keep up with it when federated to other large instances.

I think they might need to change their methods because it is inevitable that some crap is going to be going on in low effort posts and comments, but defederating one very large instance from other very large instances is against the whole idea the movement.
