That is why I'm considering the used Pixel 8. GrapheneOS will support the Pixel 8 through October 2030. Maybe by then this Motorola deal will bare fruit.

I don't trust really Google anymore but I think GrapheneOS without Google services should take care of any risk.

If GrapheneOS was available for other devices I might switch but that is not the case. Maybe this Motorola deal will produce something but that's still a ways out if it ever happens.

I still love my Pixel 6 and I am thinking of grabbing a used Pixel 8 to run GrapheneOS.

I am not one to chase the latest benchmarks. Any phone made in the past five years or so is perfectly capable once you take the bloat out.

Keep their nails short. You can also get nail caps that glue on. Cats nails shed their outer layer so the caps will come off on their own. This will help prevent injury when they do fight.

We have an older territorial cat that stalks the younger cat we brought home a year ago. The older cat is a chonk and always gets his ass kicked but keeps coming back.

We have a litter box and water in the basement so the older cat sleeps down there some nights.

For the most part they are both in gen pop and it is slowly getting better.

Usenet still exists but there isn't much going on these days. 99.9% of groups are completely dead but there are some that hang on. Even those have low posting numbers but not zero, so I'll take it.

I have started going back to forums and RSS feeds when I can find them. Most of the forums though are pretty dead. I have even started using Usenet again for actual text newsgroups.

I am hoping for a bit of a resurgence as more people move away from algorithmic social media but I won't hold my breathe on that.

My company: Don't click on suspicious links.

Also my company: It's employee survey time, click this link to complete the survey http://surveywhale.com/haidn39fk49cmc93mx

I mark them as phishing attempts every damn time.

This drives me crazy. At least give me a description for your YouTube link so I can decide if it interests me. "Check this out" isn't good enough, give me a bloody reason.
