Oh cool, thanks for the tip. I'll give that a shot!

My problem with the fingerprint reader in the display is that it just doesn't work well. I'm on a pixel 7 pro, and more often than not it will try and fail a few times, then require a pin unlock. My pixel 5 with the fingerprint reader on the back was nearly flawless.

As opposed to fucking what? Trump? Because more and worse Trump is what you'd get if you didn't have Biden.

He's not perfect. But he's managed to keep this crumbling nation together for at least a few more years. Every single option on the Republican side is a nightmare compared to Biden. If the Democrats can come up with someone better than Biden who can also defeat the Republican nominee, great, let's do it. Until then, we should all remember that there's a huge fucking cliff from where we are now vs where we'd be without Biden.

Don't get complacent. Don't take it for granted.

Yeah. So far they've gone way overboard in dumbing down the detective work this season.

I feel so seen!

If I made a few people get minor PTSD from that level and hear his voice in their head for a moment, I'm happy.

I found the new dark mode pretty disappointing. It doesn't look good -- the dark isn't very dark, it's more of a dust grey. And there isn't enough contrast between the background and the foreground text, so it's harder to read.

I love the option for a dark theme and I'm glad they implemented it, but the colors and contrast need some love from a designer.

What do you mean "not quite"? Those shares were part of his compensation / pay. OP is exactly right -- tech executive gets paid millions regardless of actual performance (in this case very poor performance that likely resulted in him being shown the door). Meanwhile, there are folks in this country who can't afford shelter or a meal.

Next time Spotify should hire a homeless person as CFO for half as much as the ousted CFO. Same job performance results, but they'd save millions and actually do some good in the process.

He's super smart. I've always thought that an idea he has for a comic starts as part of a funny and/or interesting conversation he was having with friends or colleagues. Then later he remembers some of them and makes comics out of them.

That's how I imagine it, anyway.

Politics? Sports? Religion? Tribalism is pretty much everywhere, probably part of our ancestral hard wiring and DNA.
