Not good. I've had three who were very close to me die of old age, so I'm slated to go to two funerals in the next couple of weeks. I'm hoping that things turn around, but that feels like asking for too much.

Good luck on not pergenat!!
I still remember graphene batteries being a thing for 10 years now, and the most we've gotten so far is GaN charging bricks. Methinks that companies just claim stuff like this to get shareholders excited.
I use a mix of Bing and SearXNG, Bing mostly because it gives me something back from selling my data
Personally, I think we were already on our way to a world with full-screen smartphones, and the iPhone showed us what was possible. The problem is that they also practically spearheaded the design choices that many manufacturers would take on in their devices, such as a non-removable back piece, or the omission of a headphone jack. Nothing sticks out anymore, all that matters is which OS your glass brick got shipped with.
I'm aware of the Xperia line, but I don't have that sort of money either.
On one hand, I can name sites that, in 2023, either screwed over their user base, or just went under.
- Teknik (obscure file host/git repo host)
- Enjin (forum host for clans/everyone and their dogs' minecraft servers, rebranded to peddle NFTs)
- Imgur (currently scrubbing their servers of anonymous uploads/nsfw content)
- Discord (changing their username system to a bad one)
- Reddit (charging exorbitant prices for their api; $20m per year for Apollo's developer)
I have been considering a domain name to access hypothetical home servers as of late, just so I don't have to worry about shit like this.
In terms of places to live? I wouldn't be the best one to ask about that, I don't have my own place yet. That being said, I like where I live, in [High Desert], though admittedly I'm pretty biased in saying that. You might be able to find an area that's nice and affordable.
Southern California. It's very hot here and there's a lot of dirt, but at least we have In-N-Out.
Being in the high desert, we have like four weather patterns, but we do rarely get snow so it's cool to see when it happens. It also gets very windy, especially during early summer.
To get anywhere interesting you would have to drive, and to go on vacation you would have to drive much further. Even then, a lot of people still drive big trucks that burn gas like nobody's business. But hey, that's rural America for you.
Same here, this post is what prompted me to check in the first place.
It'd be nice if they could release a lite variant for those who just want to play Game Boy games.
