Phones like what? The phone in question here (signature 27) has none of those features. Sounds like you might be referring to something like the fairphone, but even that dropped the headphone jack.

Ironically, the only phones Motorola kept the sd card and headphone jack on are their low end g series, currently selling for around $400.

    1900 euros for 512 gb with no sd card slot. 24-bit/192kHz audio support, but no headphone jack. Why even bother?

    I really hope the next generation of Moto G gets graphene support. Somehow their low end phones end up with more useful features than the flagships.

    The ballots are still being counted. The middle grey areas are races that are still too close to call or don't have enough ballots counted to say definitively.

    7 gained means so far the democrats have flipped 7 seats previously held by republicans.

    Do you have an actual use case for this? Consumer hardware has had 64 bit support for about 20 years now. If anyone's still rocking 32 bit only its probably a specialized situation that already needs a custom solution. I'm really only thinking of retro computing enthusiasts and industrial applications, neither of which necessarily need to be running mainline Fedora.

    That is never going to happen. He's maintained at least 60% voting power, so he can't be voted out, and he's certainly not going to voluntarily give that up. He wants to be synonymous with Meta/Facebook and entrench his power as an oligarch.

    I think it's 2 thing mainly.

    1. Israel has bribed or blackmailed most major politicians. Look up campaign donations from AIPAC and their related PACs.
    2. A large portion of American Evangelicals genuinely believe that by supporting Israel they are helping to bring about armageddon. You know, gog and magog type shit.

    Yep. Almost all of his compensation is in shares. Important both for his total wealth, and also voting power. His currently owned shares give him around 60% voting power, which is the only way he's been getting away with stupid moves like the failed metaverse project.

    That amount of control over the company is also worth considerably more in the current era of rampant corruption. He is synonymous with Meta and is trying his hardest to solidify power as an oligarch.

    That would bring the price of gas down here.

    I'm doubtful of that. Oil is a globalized commodity, and international prices will still affect local sales, even if none of our oil actually comes through the strait of Hormuz.

    I'm convinced the strait being closed is the whole point of this mess. It's just an excuse to charge more despite local production costs not changing. If export were banned, I think they'd just lower production to keep their margins high.

    Elections are run by each state, including registration. That means when they want to fuck with the registry they have to do it in a state by state basis, making specific lawsuits that target that state's system. They want to make it federal so they can just drop whoever they want from the registry without having to go through state officials.

    Besides being a blatant attempt to enable widespread disenfranchisement, it is also highly unconstitutional. The states run elections, following regulations set by Congress. The executive branch should have no power here, and the executive order should be struck down immediately, but who fucking knows at this point.

    I feel like we go through this every time Bethesda releases a game. Yes, every other engine is just as old. I'm sure there's some ut99 code still in unreal, and maybe some quake code in source 2. The difference is those other engines already work pretty well, and have improved over time. The creation engine is still somehow just as janky every time, and somehow still has bugs dating back to skyrim or oblivion. I want to believe they can fix it, but their track record does not inspire confidence.
