When I went to the Pixel 2XL from an iPhone the thing I noticed is just how superior it was in nearly every way within its native ecosystem. I still have a Pixel 3XL, though almost entirely de-Googled and still find it to be a winner.

I don't think that people appreciate how different the voice to text experience on a Pixel is from an iPhone. So here is a little head to head example. The Pixel is so responsive it feels …

I'm glad to see more big apps coming to Linux, even if, as in this case, it is a browser I'll never use.

I'm channelling the spirit of @tElizaRose this morning.

Hi @royboy789

I just got this email from the FAA warning me not to break any laws. In 22 years as a licensed pilot I've never seen them do something like this. Seems like using airplanes like Uber must really be becoming a problem.

House guests might not care for it but this has increased the total blocked domains by about 2% at our house. I'll call that a win.

Judging by what is being promoted as "trends" on Twitter this afternoon maybe it is time to just close this account once and for all. (note this is worldwide trends as I don't let it do "Trends for you")

Absolutely disgusting. The only surprise, though, is that it isn't the US using it, yet.

Fuck these people.

I finished reading "They Thought They Were Free" (https://www.amazon.com/They-Thought-Were-Free-Germans/dp/0226511928) the other day. The author, a Jewish American, interviews ex-Nazis in Germany in the 1950s. The parallels to today in the US really are scary. I doubt, in light of that, the NYT would do any different.

Like thousands of Americans, I’ve become obsessed with birdwatching in lockdown. Unlike thousands of Americans, I just spent 10 minutes entranced by this pure white species. My spirits soared as it leapt amidst the branches til I got closer, and realized it just a trapped napkin
