I'm seeing it tonight and looking forward to it. I usually enjoy Wes Anderson, but I realize that it isn't for everyone. Personally, I really enjoy the careful framing of all the shots, the colorful scenes, quirky tone and dry humor.

That is great news! I look forward to trying it when it is ready. I really enjoyed using Sync and was so sad that reddit ruined their ecosystem.

They have a feature where you can hold your palm up when you are ready to start the countdown timer to take the picture. It could be useful for group shots when there isn't an extra person to take the picture for you. That way you don't need to rush getting everyone in frame and ready.

This is happening on the website for me, too, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with jerboa specifically.

I have some that are also indefinitely pending. In my case, they seem to be on servers that aren't federated with the server my account is on. All communities on Beehaw.org are doing this. I am still able to post on them, but I'm not sure if they are showing on my front age or not.

I remember renting this game one weekend as a kid.

That is good to hear. Do they have some sort of rubber gasket inside?

I agree that is isn't really necessary for most people, but I do know quite a few people who use it because they know the phone will be safe. My partner uses her phone in the pool all the time. I'm often dripping wet after coming in from surfing, even after drying off with a towel. It is nice to be able to check my phone without worrying I'm going to mess it up.

I'm not saying it is a feature every phone needs, but it is something that some people use. I'm all for replaceable batteries and would like to see them more available. They will improve the longevity of devices as long as they aren't damaged in other ways.

For my needs, I probably need enough basic water resistance to keep rain out or moisture from wet hands, etc, but it really would be nice to have full water proofing. When I lived in a more humid climate the moisture in the air was enough to kill an old phone of mine over time.

I do miss being able to swap out a phone battery and this will certainly be a step in the right direction in terms ewaste and device longevity.

One thing that I wonder about is waterproofing or water resistance. Some phones are basically waterproof in shallow water. How achievable is this with a device with a trivial way to remove the battery?

Thanks! I'll have to give it a try.

Hahaha, yeah the phone costs could really add up!
