Bingo. Unionization is on the rise, so expect unending "economic collapse" headlines regardless of what is happening in the economy.

Plus on Pixel you can run GrapheneOS.

Dad voice:

Do we want innovation and increased prosperity instead of crime? Because this is how we get innovation and increased prosperity.

Send kids who started at a disadvantage to free college, you're gonna get innovation and increased prosperity. There's no getting around it. It's gonna make everyone better off. I hope that's what California wants, because that's what they're going to get.

I know it's not a competition, but I bet O'Hare airport will win.

Same here, but I use EleventyJS as the Markdown to HTML step.

Thanks for sharing these. I was going to check them out, but yeah, Google Play store is disabled on my device, so the links don't work.

An Aurora link to the app on Play would probably, or F-Droid, if it's open source.

As a current Switch owner deciding what to pick up next time I spring for a new system, the lack of anything portable from Microsoft and Sony is kinda wild to me.

Honestly, if I had not been burned previously by Xbox losing my online purchases, I think I would consider buying an Xbox for game pass.

I don't hate the concept, and I've heard great things about the Xbox game pass library.

I'm also not a big fan of not actually owning my games. I have 40 year old games that I still return to every year. The idea of finding something special on Gamepass and having it just disappear like a streaming show does... Not compelling to me.

Yeah. I stopped buying XBox after they let my account get hacked and restored none of my purchased content.

I occasionally consider giving Xbox another try, but then the whole tiers of systems and naming nonsense takes long enough to parse that I remember why I stopped buying Xboxes.

With modern disposable diapers, my kids haven't typically needed a dry cycle. Might have needed more when we used cloth, but I didn't take notes and it all blurs together.

I have stepped up drying and ointment and powder as appropriate when needed to deal with a rash.

Every kid is different. Gotta do what works for yours.

Have you looked at GrapheneOS? It's a big change, but it gets the job done.

Disclaimer: I shamelessy advertise it because I use Graphene OS and I want others to use it too so it won't become abandonware, forcing me back to a slow crappy phone again.

It really is pretty nice.

I went for it, and was delighted by how much more responsive my phone is. I haven't had a phone this responsive in about 5 years.

The privacy aspect is good too, of course.
