I wish I could find a sub 5 inch screen that hits the other requirements (excellent camera, fully root-able). I'm afraid Pixels have run away with my wallet.
For me, the screen size is what enabled that comfortable fit.

Cisco owned the "iPhone" trademark and was actively using it to sell products. Weirder things have happened.
Apple simply started using it and told Cisco, "Make me stop".
Yeah. I can put a 3.5 -> C adapter on my headphones but there's no such thing as the reverse. And given that one-way path, it'd be nice if I didn't a dongle everywhere.
In my particular case, that setup sucks for my car. The adapter advertises having a microphone but my car's aux port doesn't have one.
I would use Bluetooth but the car's Bluetooth is the worst damned thing I've ever had the displeasure of using. It sucks even by Bluetooth standards. The car even forbids pairing/unpairing while the car is in drive, which is great for nanny-stating the morons who try to do that while operating the car but what about when I'm the passenger?! The car's mostly used for family road trips and that kind of inflexibility makes it a nonstarter.
Uhhh, I have no idea. I use Element and a bunch of bridges to hit other services. I just meant that iMessage is the only major messaging service that's restricted to just iPhones and the "interop" to Android is intentionally pure shit to pressure everyone to get an iPhone, which is pretty dirty.
You reminded me of a legal case I read recently: Guardian of Sally v. Beatty
An unnamed(!) victim of slavery had an agreement with her enslaver to keep excess wage money from her work, which she used to buy the freedom of another person, Sally. Her enslaver figured she didn't have the right to own "property" and it was his lucky day to now own 2 human beings. The courts disagreed and said Sally was a free person. However this was still South Carolina so they made sure to patch up that little "loophole" after the case was over.
The full list is quite interesting. The ~1780 cases in New England outlawing slavery (while the Revolution was ongoing!). Dred Scott and Amistad, of course. Cases mostly from 1780 to 1859. But then heinously, but somehow unsurprisingly, there's a case from 2021: Nestle Inc makes an appearance using child slave labor for cocoa.
Apple uses iMessage as a moat against people switching to Android. They intentionally degrade your experience for their benefit.
We're long past the point where focusing on just one or two sources of carbon is enough. Everything needs to be examined. We can choose a more sustainable diet AND curb mindless consumerism.
Also, I find the impossible/beyond burgers to be pretty good. I dunno what you're on about with "bug protein". At worst, they're made from yeast but plant material otherwise?
TLD - Top Level Domain (.com .ml .whatever)
Registrar - NameCheap, PorkBun, etc. Submits your domain.TLD request to a Registry
Registry - Maintains the list of domains for a specific TLD and the server infrastructure to run the TLD
ICANN - Decides who can be a Registry and for which TLD. Not involved in the nitty gritty of individual domain names.
When and how do we get offshore wind that's worth a crap in the US? It seems so obvious to me that we have huge population centers right next to huge "wind reserves".
The Founders were steeped in the Age of Enlightenment. Modern Americans wouldn't even recognize it as Christianity. Like The Jefferson Bible
... completed in 1820 by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson's condensed composition excludes all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels that contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages that portray Jesus as divine.
You could label their morality puritanical but I think cynicism would also equally apply. If you view humans as naturally greedy and selfish, society needs to codify expected behavior to keep it in check.
It's about as equally arbitrary as describing Celsius in terms of 101325 Pa ("standard pressure" boiling point).
Americans are more used to switching units and scales as they relate to the topic at hand. Describing distance between cities in inches is dumb. Using Celsius for the weather is equally unwieldy as the units are not fine grained and despite the headline, we're not even halfway to the boiling point of water on the Celsius scale. And likewise, if you live in a cold climate, even 0C isn't super relevant as a floor. Things don't even get uncomfortable until -10C anyway.
Speaking of Pascals, I feel "conversational" in Celsius and it kinda works but Pascals are even more irrelevant to daily tasks. Things don't even get interesting until you get to 200 kPa and jumps of less than 100kPa aren't very noteworthy. It's like currency after massive inflation.
