Google is laying off employees at Waze
  • PurpleReign PurpleReign 1y ago 100%

    They're separate because Waze has a reputation of giving more "aggressive" routing, and has a social aspect to it. Stuff that really doesn't belong in Google Maps.

    Do you know what a float trip is?
  • PurpleReign PurpleReign 1y ago 100%

    I know what you're referring to, but we don't call it a "float trip" here (Iowa). There's no specific term for it. You just ask if you want to go tubing down the river and camp for the weekend. The drinking is implied of course.

  • I feel like we should choose our mayor based on who can **ACTUALLY** open these in the manner that is expected.

    Counterpoint: Flip Phones Are a Dumb Idea
  • PurpleReign PurpleReign 1y ago 100%

    I have a Pixel 7 and don't feel like I'm missing out by not having the Pro (I have had Pixel devices since the 2XL). It all depends on whether you want a larger screen (I think the 7 is already plenty large), and a telephoto lens. The processor is the same in both, and battery life is decent in both as well. $8 a month doesn't SEEM like much, but over a year it's almost $100. So you have to ask if those things are worth it to you or not. I have a Dbrand Skin on mine to make it pop a bit over the black.

    Overall, I think you'll be more than happy with the 7.

    It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too

    I'm really hoping he ports Relay over to Lemmy, but that is a pipe dream at this point. He's currently planning to shut everything down at the end of the month when the new API pricing goes live...
