Couldn’t agree more. I have no idea why phone companies are not being held accountable for allowing this. For email, it’s a solved problem. Why not phone?

“You shouldn’t be sad while others have it worse.”
Therefore,
“You shouldn’t be happy while others have it better.”
Picture of a Minion with the caption: “Tuesday? I thought you said WINE-day.”
That was my first thought. I’d happily have one of these, but wall-mounted somewhere with high footfall, displaying a dashboard of some kind.
Meanwhile, the North of England bucked the trend by being clear. The aurora was visible in town, despite your directions light pollution, but I still drove out to the country for an hour at 2am to get a better view.
I’m going to get that tattooed backwards across my forehead.

Two videos for you to watch:
Hyper-Reality, a PoV short film featuring an overqualified gig worker in a world of ubiquitous, ad-laden and heavily enshittified AR. https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs
This Euro-News article which features a Murdoch-owned advertising agency trying to get train windows turned into bone-conducting acoustic transmitters so weary travellers are forced to listen to ads as they resr their heads. https://youtu.be/1KZATgg7bJo

Years ago, a British, Murdoch-owned, pay-TV company called Sky was piloting this on trains. The showreel for it literally showed weary commuters trying to rest their heads against the window being blasted with audio adverts through acoustic bone coupling. One of the most tone-deaf (pun intended) things I’ve ever seen.
A well is the inverse of a stick.
A stand for my phone, a stand for my ereader, and two buttons for my smart home setup: one turns everything in the house off, the other toggles the reading lamp.
Serious question:
Is it pronounced bour-joys-ee or bour-joys?
For me, it’s the totally unallegorical Starship Troopers.
What if I bite it and then it hates God?
I’m tempted to give this a go. I’ve got a Fairphone 5 which I’ve increasingly been using with non-Google services. Something I don’t understand is that /e/OS is based on LineageOS, but my phone isn’t supported by Lineage. I wish it was; that’d be a no-brainer.
