I think overall I associate more people on the left being vegan than the right; however, anecdotally I know more vegans that are conservative/right leaning. I don’t know why that is other than maybe it being a fairly well off area with hippie roots.
And Chili Colorado- not because it has any relation to the state but because it shares a name.
I like where phones are now for the most part, but the thing I miss the most is that magic moment of what leaps and bounds new technology/form factor/whatever was being incorporated into a new phone. Like when the iPhone was first announced or when Motorola announced (and marketed the hell out of) the original Droid - I can still hear the boot up sound.
I remember the debates and arguments had when the first 4+” phone was released and how it was “way too big” compared to the ideal sized 3.5” iPhone. The idea of swiping to type!? What a breakthrough! A fingerprint scanner to unlock your phone, that took like three or four tries some times and was met with skepticism by others.
Now I feel like, despite how monstrously capable are phones are now compared to even five years ago, there’s just not as much of a spark anymore. New phones are iterative and have been for a while. Bendable displays are sort of neat, but just doesn’t quite tap the same bit of magic for me.
You did it! Hello, and welcome to the club. Lemmy has been my first foray into hosting a site on a VPS and it's been quite the rabbit-hole; for the better of course. I hope you have fun.
Just tossing my vote in for Keychron. I’ve poured more money into MechKeys than I care to admit and still use a Keychron q10 Alice daily at work. Being able to program fun/useful key combos and having full support for QMK and VIA is huge for their longevity. You can also branch out with new switches and key caps pretty easily.
Wow, here in Colorado there’s well over 70 that match that description within 30 miles of me and up in the mountains there’s at least a few even in the more remote parts. There are definitely large swaths of Kansas that could use them. I wouldn’t trust a road trip to Dodge City for instance. Hopefully they spread them out in to those empty spots!
Just an FYI, but the PICO 4 is made by ByteDance which is the parent company of TikTok. Facebook is awful but I don’t trust TikTok either.
I use the newer “American Voice 2” for Siri. I don’t use Siri for a ton of things, but I do hear it a lot in the car when navigating with maps or doing other things with CarPlay.
This sounds like the MacRumors buyer's guide. It lists an advisory for whether to buy or not and gives time since product release as well as average time between releases.
Not that I disagree with you, because it is absurd, but I’ve been writing off the cost of the battle pass as just a way to get “discount” cosmetics. The overall cost of the cold iron set is cheaper than a standard store set at the cost of needing to grind to get it.
Dark mode can be harder on the eyes and/or give headaches to people with astigmatism. It has to do with halation. White text on a black background is blurrier than black text on a white background. There’s a nice accessibility description here. I personally dislike dark mode for that very reason.
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell. It just did not resonate with me in February slightest and didn’t get enjoyable until the final few chapters. I can appreciate it from a literary standpoint. The prose is lovely and the tone is spot on for what she was trying to achieve, but my goodness did I feel annoyed while making my way through it.
