Well, I’m of the opinion that Brompton (and every other company) should pull out of US distribution until their government stops being fascist pigs.

But I digress…

The ticket price of US$4,950…

Wildly expensive, even if it’s a Brompton.

a 7-year frame warranty and 3-year e-system warranty

Kudos where kudos are due. Glad to see a bike company offer more than a year warranty on their e-bikes!

A tale as old as time! Car brains don’t bat an eye when it’s $1 million, $10 million, or $100 million spent on “convenience” for motorists.

But don’t you dare spend a fraction of that for the safety and security of everyone else! /s

I wish our governments would have motorists pay the true cost of their multi-lane roads, “free” on-street parking spaces, parking garages and massive lots, or the cost to send first responders out to the tens of thousands of collisions we’ve normalized.

Maybe then they’d STFU about cost.

All communities pay dearly for car-centric infrastructure, and the maintenance costs required to keep it all running.

Those brake lights tell a different story. Still, what are we talking… a 1 or 2 km length of road for 150 cars to be passed by a single cyclist? Such an inefficient use of space.

Thanks, I use darktable, but will give it a try!

I’ve updated my OP with some interesting new details!

Thanks, I’ll give Digikam a try!

Thanks. I use Immich, but when I tagged a photo then saved it back to my computer, the geotagging was gone (but HDR was still intact). It’s as if it saves it to its own database, and I can’t find any settings to confirm.

A few observations:

1. That’s a fuck-ton of distance for 150 cars.
2. “One more lane, bro” wouldn’t make a goddamn difference.
3. We really need bike lanes… on every road.

Twenty million anonymized transactions … led to a 9.5% increase in retail

I wish they put a number to that stat. Because even if we’re talking about an extra dollar of spending, we’re talking millions of dollars (euros), which is significant.

Retail stores everywhere should really force their local government to make street closures to car traffic a reality if they want to boost sales and keep online shopping from destroying their revenue.

Yes, and use a combination of various attachments for grooming, and even got a third-party nose hair trimmer attachment that works pretty damn well, too! LOL

I tend to have really sensitive skin, and the OneBlade helps a lot. Philips says that you can use it wet or dry, with foam or gel, but also say that the best results are when you use it dry.

Holy shit does that bring back memories! I probably still have my Braun Series 5 somewhere (and yeah, it’s probably at least 15 years old), but I haven’t used it in some time.

I’ve mostly been using Philips OneBlade, but true BIFL would be a safety razor.

Well, none of the phone’s I’ve owned in the last 5+ years have been very “root friendly”, so I haven’t rooted since then.

But it gives you a ton of (not risk-free) options to tweak your system. Shizuku is a cool alternative, but it is limited by comparison.

I actually really like TrackerControl, but use Adguard instead for the same purpose (can’t use them at the same time, unfortunately, since they both work through a local VPN).

The difference, though, is that Blocker stops apps from even loading the component that would “call home”, where TrackerControl and Adguard try to block those connections after they’ve been sent by the app.

Yes, you kind of accomplish the same thing, but I would love to be able to prevent apps from using these SDKs in the first place :)

I’m not looking to delete apps, just stop certain components within apps.

For example, my banking app uses the Google Ads, Google Firebase Analytics, and Adobe analytics, and I’d like to disable those from running without uninstalling the banking app.

Basically, it disables the bad parts of an app :)

I used to do this when I was into rooting and custom firmware, but I really don’t want to go full root with my current phone.

It’s not permissions that I want to block/stop, but actual receivers, services, SDKs… components within apps. So, something like the analytics services can be disabled, rather than “blocked” like using an adblocker.

I used to do this when I was rooted years ago, and it was great!

Well, shit. It’s strange how so many places recommend Blocker when using Shizuku, but it really needs Root to be useful.

Fucking legend! I’m going to spend the weekend exploring these apps and see what changes I can make on my phone. 👍

Are those green mini icons an indication of a PWA shortcut?

I use the app Hermit to run isolated websites, usually as PWAs. It’s replaced quite a few apps, but I’ve noticed that many companies are intentionally making their web experience shit so they force you to use invasive apps.

Anyway, it can create home icons for those sites, and they run separately (i.e. in your task switcher), so it works better than browser shortcuts.

I’m guessing RFK Jr. uses chatGPT quite a bit to come up with his nonsense, eh?

I started using it last week, simply because other options weren’t playing nice with my self-hosted collection (they wanted local files…).

Seems to work well, but it is very basic.
