The 400$ one will also contribute to e-waste.

Just saying.

SCEE is described as StreetComplete for advanced users. Does anyone have experience with this?

 

Help to improve the OpenStreetMap with StreetComplete!

This app finds incomplete and extendable data in your vicinity and displays it on a map as markers. Each of those is solvable by answering a simple question to complete the info on site.

The info you enter is then directly added to the OpenStreetMap in your name, without the need to use another editor.

 

Video games can teach deep truths about life, society and human nature.

Which ones stand out for you?

You don't watch other shows. You start over with Star Trek.

😁

 

And he did it brilliantly!

Discovery had it's moments.

From a Star Trek universe perspective it hit way too many lows, though. This is just my opinion, of course. I found it hard to sit through some episodes. The actors are generally great, but there is too much cheap dialogue (listen to some of the Season 2 and 3 "Picard" dialogue in comparison!), underdeveloped characters, statements like the above that were written without even considering how they might age... well, this was discussed ad nauseam in many places, so I'll stop the rant before it starts.

Thank you Discovery for showing us what doesn't work. Other shows learned from you.

Fairphone proves the usual excuses for ending Android support aren't valid.

That alone is worth a lot. Their endeavour for longevity is also great. I hope they get the attention they need.

I feel sorry for T-Rex in the last picture. The joke was good. 😄

 

Which one is recommended? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Are there better alternatives?

This is either a work of singular art or complete and utter madness.

There's only one course of action: will try no matter the cost.

Also, thank you for using the metric system, fellow global citizen.

Does anyone have thoughts on Fleksy? Hasn't been updated in a long time, but typing is quite fast on it. Autocorrect works exceedingly well.

I have it installed, but miss some minor features. Swipe left to delete, to begin with. Hold to move cursor. Such small quality of life features. Or am I missing them?

 

What are your thoughts on the best Android keyboard out there? Which one gets your vote and why?

 

In the scene between Q and Jean-Luc Picard, Q delivers an amazingly stirring monologue about the importance of one person, saying "Must it always have galactic import? Universal stakes? Celestial upheaval? Isn't one life enough?" This line is an impressive reminder that sometimes, saving a single individual can be just as important as saving a galaxy.

In this moment, we see a different side of Q - one that is vulnerable and sincere. Or was that his true side all along? The scene impresses the deep friendship between Q and Jean-Luc, as Q reveals his true motivation - to heal Jean-Luc's heart.

Overall, this scene is such a beautiful and touching moment that adds even more depth to these two already well-developed characters. It reminds me of the power of friendship and the importance of valuing individual lives.

"Humans. Your griefs, your pains, fix you to moments in the past long gone. You’re like butterflies with your wings pinned”. There is so much food for thought in this piece of wisdom alone. Every sentence in this scene has its place, has meaning beyond the words expressing it. Note also the stunning, subtle yet powerful soundtrack.

This scene and the one to follow is so well paced and delivered by John de Lancie and Patrick Stewart, it will stick with me for many years to come. I have rewatched it over and over. It alone makes the entire 2nd season worthwhile.

May we all remember to say this to someome from our heart. Almost nothing means more than this:

"You matter to me."
