Corporate LLMs will become absolutely useless because there will be guardrails on every single keyword you search.

The 2020 election was questioned by republicans for months after it concluded. Many investigations were made and found ZERO evidence of interference. If anything, some republicans were charged in a handful of states for election interference crimes.

Questioning an election is one thing, but outright denying the results even after all the evidence suggests that no interference/meddling occurred sets a precedence for future candidates that they can cause chaos in the system by just constantly claiming elections are rigged, eventually causing distrust of the entire system by voters who will just assume that their votes don't matter because the decision has already been set.

I believe if you are attempting to discredit an election, not because of the potential for foul play, but because you are just upset that you or your candidate of choice lost, and you attempt to destabilize the democratic system in order to achieve your goal, that is treason/sedition and should be a crime that is delt with a severe penalty.

The circle of life

How is it that the pokemon mod for minecraft never received such pushback from nintendo, but this modder gets DMCA'd on the spot? Fair use should cover using characters. There's plenty of games that re-use characters as mods (look at skyrim and all the ridiculous mods that import characters from other franchises).

All this copyright nonsense over a free mod is just a waste of resources.

Yeah. This was my first time opening the phone but I watched the ifixit teardown video almost religiously trying to catch every detail. Unfortunately despite it warning you about pick depth, it doesnt warn you about going inbetween the screen and glue. Hopefully since Google has gone this far in the repairability department, they make future pixels a bit easier to teardown without accidentally breaking it

Yikes, hopefully you didn't get into too much trouble. It's pretty wild how delicate these screens are. I hope future pixels are easier to take apart that reduce the potential damage from mistakes.

Haha yup, if only. Also the battery was glued to the frame with probably the strongest glue I've ever seen. Even after heating the back case to too hot to touch temps it was still incredibly difficult to remove the battery. I don't think there's a good reason to glue the battery like that where I'm sure some thermal padding would probably suffice to keep it in place, or shit even clips.

Still waiting on parts from iFixit. They're using USPS for shipping and it's taking forever. I'll probably be able to do the repair next weekend, hopefully...

Well I mostly got the phone for the color. I love the bay blue color so a case would just cover it up. It looks like based on the official google repair doc and the ifixit video that I'll have to disassemble the entire phone. I ordered the back glass and all the adhesives I'll need to replace (so so much glue!) from ifixit. Like you said I'll have to go slow, just hoping I don't break something in the process. My biggest worry is the screen since there's some ribbon cables very close to where you have to use the pry tools. Even a youtuber broke their screen opening it first try.

Bruh that psp knockoff looks like straight garbage to use compared to the deck.

Honestly my one complaint is when starting a workout, activating the GPS takes a bit so I usually have to wait up to about a minute for the GPS to be ready and then I can start.

Even if that's true I wouldn't put it past the companies to find ways to circumvent regulations, and I think trying to advocate for regulating them sets a precedent against the free and open internet that websites are under government control, which shouldn't be the case. Imagine if government started requiring government ID's to access all websites (including Lemmy, which is a social network).
