Shopify (i.e. Shittify) being their top donor already has me looking sideways at this project. They'll invest in anything they think they can get an edge with and if something starts to happen they'll fuck it up and wallstreet-ify it as fast as possible if they can.

Their (Shopify's) guru founder Tobi made a huge NFT play that went absolutely nowhere while I still worked there. They spent a lot of time and money on it, right before they laid several thousand people off.

I also have this lag behavior when clicking links. It takes between one and three seconds. Moto Edge+ w/Firefox as default browser.

They won't even clean up their own oil well sites. Look up how many oil companies hide all their profits and then declare bankruptcy so that they can get the taxpayers to clean up after a given oilfield runs dry.

I don't have a lot of hope in them taking care of the other end of the process either, unless it's by force.

I find it strange that more people haven't put it together yet. The stuff plastics are made of is literally toxic byproduct from the O&G industry. Yes some of the products have extremely functional uses, but for the rest of it, they're literally selling us their toxic waste and trying to make us responsible for disposing of it.

They might as well be standing outside the grocery stores with a barrel of goo and offering you a portion of it (for a price of course!) on your way out. So then you take it home and try to figure out what to do with it, and feel bad when you realize there is no way to dispose of it in an ethical way which is why they're shoving the responsibility onto you.

I miss when Signal still handled SMS. It was so effing convenient.

The only one I'm aware of is Fallout Shelter. The steam version is out of date but the android version is getting updates and new content.

Not sure how easy these are to get yet but they look like a pretty solid win if you can find one. https://www.engadget.com/the-mouthpad-turns-your-tongue-into-a-mouse-for-your-phone-184541021.html

Windscribe (or other) VPN offers 2gb free per month, you can spoof your location with the browser extension. Hot tip, dial the YouTube video resolution way down to like 360p and you can watch quite a few movies with that amount of free bandwidth.
