  • That’s funny, because things like the voting uncommitted campaign have already done more to move Biden to the left than any “strategic voting democrat” has done in decades.

    You keep giving them your vote, you say, definitively “I agree with your current course.” They don’t hear, “oh they don’t like us so we’ll move left” they say, “lefties are more willing to sacrifice their values and still vote for us, so let’s move right and court more right wing votes”.

    Unless you live in a swing state, there is vastly more strategic value in voting third party than there is in signing off on austerity and genocide and fascist immigration policy.



  • Having been an Apple, Google, and Samsung certified technician who performs repairs down to board level, Google phones fucking suck. They have no fucking idea what they’re doing and it results in horribly assembled phones, esoteric internal design, fragile components, and complicated repairs. A screen repair on a Pixel 5 took almost 40 unique components. That’s literally more than 10x what any other brand needs. They take ten times as long as an iPhone for the same repair, and probably 5x as long as a Samsung. There are worse phones out there, but not flagship phones. Google is by far the worst flagship manufacturer once you actually get past the sleek exterior. Dozens of crisscrossed flex cables, many of which are heavily adhered down or intended to be replaced regardless of if they’re in perfect shape. Single use grommets, ridiculously over complicated jigs and templates… they’re just… bad.
