@thisness After three weeks, I can say the battery life and reception are better than the iPhone mini it replaced. The camera is good in the day and adequate at night, 2X telephoto instead of macro is a fair trade, and I really like the camera (action) button. $599 is the biggest negative.

@manton I use a Tablo DVR with my antenna. The new four-tuner models are regularly on sale at Best Buy for as low as $109, no subscription fee for guide data either.

@manton I’m with you to the end, but the Committee for Public Safety seems to be speaking pretty loudly. There are so many quotes from Robespierre to choose, but I think “pity is treason” pretty much sums the moment.

@danharmon.bsky.social I don’t want anyone to die or lose all their shit—not even James Woods—but we are all forced participants in the same climate disaster reality show. So is it more cruel to tell people they can’t go back to the way it was or that they can? Fuck—I didn’t mean to piss you off, sorry, backing off now.

@danharmon.bsky.social Disaster begat Superstition and Superstition begat Cognitive Dissonance, otherwise people would not rebuild homes and businesses in a climate disaster zone.
