Came here for this

The number of recent updates, it seems. Which is probbaly an OK metric.

Graphene explicitly says the 400k are worldwide. You cannot then go ahead and use the US numbers for your comparison. From your own source, Google shipped 10 million Pixel 9 devices in 2023 alone. This does not account for other/older pixel models, or the sum total of sales before that point, or since.

Why not just share the actual number: worldwide, there’s 400k users.

Surfshark does too

So do many others, I’d assume

I will never understand why people wear wear-once, then throw-away clothes.

• if I like the piece of clothing, I want to keep it for as long as possible
• if I don’t like it, I don’t buy it

Fantastic. Best use of language models I’ve seen.

No - because the do not count trains that either never started their journey, or that stopped midway through and turned around. It’s a really sorry trick to make the statistic look “better”.

“It’s not delayed, it just… Jever got there!”

I have not opened my SMS app in years.

But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.

Sounds like you never wanted to be friends, just fuck them.

I’m almost sorry to be blunt, but…

Women don’t want to be chased. You’re a misogynist who has reduced women to “people to have sex with” in your own mind.

If you change that, you gain the possibility of actual connections, including intimacy, with them; if you don’t, you don’t. Either way it’s up to you if you want the status quo to continue or to improve.

To be fair, you can simply selfhost MinIO.

Wait, not the other way round? One tale per 70-min episode?

(With the priest’s tale getting an initial 1.5hrs opening episode? 👀)

And what is the advantage of that?

Also I am pretty sure I have at least some secrets in my shell history

Hah… Fair 😄 Hope you’ll get the chance!

Interesting - this is the first time I have seem someone (implicitly) dislike Villeneuve’s version (though to be fair, I have not closely followed the discourse around it). DO you have additional grievances, beyond the actors?

Lol… Same :D

For myself: Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Cantos. I know that I will never be in a situation to do as the question above suggests (nor that I would have the knowledge or skills required), but I am currently re-reading the books (Hyperion, Fall of Hyperion, Endymion, Rise of Endymion), and I can’t stop thinking about a big screen adaptation.

Or rather, Simmons’ writing is so vivid, so vibrant that you can’t help but visualize it in a cinematic way before your inner eye anyways. The alien, but still somewhat familiar environments, the gargantuan forces of nature and expansive backgrounds just as much as the more intimate set pieces, cities, secret meeting rooms, and so on. “Every Frame a Painting” is something I’ve heard said about some movies, and these books are the textual equivalent: “Every page cannot be helped but be turned into a Painting”. The Hyperion Cantos isn’t even my favorite book or anything the like; it’s just something that screams for an adaptation IMO, and a beautiful one at that.

I also think that the story is exceptionally well suited for either a limited series (Hyperion & Fall of Hyperion) or a movie (Endymion, Rise of Endymion). In fact, I am convinced that if this had been made into a series back in the early/mid 2010s, it could have had a genre- and generation-defining impact akin to (the early seasons of…) Game of Thrones. Today… I’m not sure a studio would spend the required amount of money to make this good.

(Also yes I made this post simply because I had nowhere else to put this comment.)
