Failed

Not sure how this was ever a good model, unless they knew they'd make their profit very quickly before people realized they could download a phone app for interval training and watch whatever they want.

I use an interval app, Just Run, but not just for running. I've used it for physical therapy exercises, because I have a bunch of them, and it works really well. I just make a list of exercises and make a sequence of them, which I do on their respective interval instead of running.

Majel Barret, the actress, was married to Gene Roddenberry, and did the computer voices for TnG, and played Troy's mother.

This is like intro Trek Trivia, I'm not a Trekkie, just watched it since the early 70's. Back when we had things like Reader's Digest and TV Guide, but no internet. So you read what was in front of you while looking up schedules. And that's the kind of stuff they'd have, especially in TV Guide.

His name is Guy.

But he doesn't have a last name. 😁

Lol. Did for me.

I imagine it's one of those percentages things, how everyone's a little different and what's causing the "blemish"

Yea, probably just this corner is reduced like this

What news app are you using?

No different than rooting any other phone.

I root to do specific things - those are my benefits of rooting a phone: Real (local) backups using tools like NeoBackup, which can easily restore apps and data. Full file system access so tools like Syncthing can write to external storage (not a concern on Pixel since it doesn't have external storage). Ability to hibernate any app, including system apps that love to relaunch for no good reason. On that note, ability to fully manage broadcast receivers and prevent any app from launching other than when you want it to run.

If there's not something for which you specifically need root, then you really have no reason to root.

Also, no reason to reflash a factory rom, you can root Graphene just like any other.

You're on a PiP, official or not. I'd be looking elsewhere. I've never seen someone survive a PiP (this after 30+ years in corporate environments).

Just start looking, seems like nurses are needed everywhere.

Rising? Like an 80-year-old's penis?

"Investigating" while SpaceX has been doing it, approximately 300 times.

Exactly.

Piracy was "tolerated", because it stole money from competitors.

Even if a pirate lied and only turned over some of the booty to the crown, it still took it from their enemies.

At least the door can provide perspective, if used properly

From their About page:

Project Liberty is stitching together an ecosystem of technologists, academics, policymakers and citizens committed to building a people-powered internet—where the data is ours to manage, the platforms are ours to govern, and the power is ours to reclaim.

I just heard Frank McCourt on a podcast plugging his book "Our Biggest Fight".

It was great to hear someone with a voice talking about the problems we see with user data and social media, especially the problem of the Social Graph (the map of all your social connections, which includes weights and values).

Their solution to this problem was to develop a social networking protocol that enables any compliant app to use (think how email works - a standard protocol, SMTP), but encrypted and user data controlled by the user. They call it DSNP - Decentralized Social Networking Protocol.

I see both sides of their approach, I'm kind of ambivalent, lots of concern here long-term.

They've already acquired MeWe and have converted some users to this protocol. He wants to buy the US side of TikTok (if it becomes available) and convert it to DSNP, which would encrypt about 30 million US accounts.

I'm always cynical about stuff that sounds promising, but I don't have the tech background to really dissect what they're doing. Anyone understand this better?

 

I have no idea where to even start to combat such things. Healthcare professionals must appease the masses of their peers.

I've seen this first hand in the corporate world, where it's called a 360 review. It's a popularity contest.

While there's value in the idea of such reviews, they're ripe for abuse. It codifies an environment of dishonesty - where people who are good at masking (err, sociopaths anyone) excel.
