If it’s not new-in-box, yeah, pretty much. I’m happy with my OnePlus-5T.

Wow, another jerk CEO? I thought they were such nice people! We need to stop rewarding a-holes in society.
I refuse to buy any phone new, I always look for one 2-3 years old with verified stable support for lineageOS.
Also a good way to do a little to reduce e-waste. Many slightly older models have stock remaining new-in-box so it isn’t always an issue of buying ‘used’ hardware.
Because the infection of Fascism and White Christian Nationalism has too many others in power who were in a position to soften her judgement; or too many are still in denial and aren’t willing to mete out definitive judgements to stop things before they can go further.
The rot goes deep and is nowhere near to being rooted out, and the US legal system seems to be locked in ‘kid gloves’ mode in dealing with these people.
I’m real (or am I? Bwahaha).
…and we all must keep in mind this tech will only get better. A small improvement in the tonal inflections…
So much for ‘checks and balances’ hmm U.S.? Wow.
Kill it all with fire
We should do more than block them, they need to be teergrubed.
Americans rejected The Crown, but missed vapid royalty so much, they had to invent their own.
A noble thing if you could pull it off.
But stay away from windows for the rest of your life and always prepare your own tea.
Thanks for clarifying (and I should’ve looked it up myself! My bad for being lazy).
That sounds like a sane policy.
Not to get political… buy why wouldn’t just washing it and generally treating it respectfully be good enough (Like, why waste a perfectly nice looking flag?)
Intentionally throwing one’s national flag on the ground and stomping on it… that’s one thing. But just dropping it by mistake? People make mistakes, it shouldn’t be considered bloody treason :p
Then again, I’m one of those people who avoids ever addressing ‘someone of station’ as ‘Your Grace’, ‘Your Honour’, ‘Your Highness’, etc. If I were ever in the situation of being expected to do so, I’d be very uncomfortable and would try to get away with “Sir” or “Madam”. I don’t believe anyone deserves such obsequious subservience. Guess I’d be dead if I’d been born a few hundred years ago.
So they should switch to element.io, or host their own forum thingie on a VPS somewhere. Why is Discord essential? (Hint: it’s not)
You can, but now it’s called “a big monitor and your own server with a personal media library”.
You spread misinformation, gardylou@lemmy.world. Anyone who cares to do so can verify the info I give below.
Snowden stated from the start that he originally intended to go from Hong Kong to Ecuador, who had promised him asylum. He intentionally gave away all copies of his data, destroying his own, to the journalists who had met him in Hong Kong to evaluate his leaks (verify sources before believing those who claim ‘he leaked info to Russia’). He fully intended to be ‘clean’ if he were interdicted on his way out of Hong Kong.
The US illegally (violating international law! It is illegal for a nation to render their own citizen stateless while abroad) revoked his US passport as he flew to Russia, which he meant to be a temporary stop only to obtain passage on a flight to Ecuador as Ecuadorian officials were to be there in order to receive him.
The President of Ecuador’s own Presidential Plane, with the Ecuadorian President onboard was forcibly grounded over EU airspace, by fighter jets, at the USA’s behest, on suspicioun that Snowden might be aboard. Snowden was trapped in a Russian airport, against his will, with no valid passport, essentially rendered Stateless – again, a violation of international law perpetrated by the USA against one of its own citizens.
Imagine the USA’s response if Airforce One were forcibly grounded to a foreign airport, by foreign fighter-jets, at the behest of another country.

What? Oh no, I had not written down the recipe for using gasoline to cook my spaghetti! Whatever shall I do?
