@gravitos @kaia Horseshoe theory of boomer/genZ communications is the voicemail to voice message spectrum

@jackmjenkins "The Woman Who Rides Like A Man" by Tamora Pierce - I loved her books as a teenager (especially the Song of the Lioness books) so I'm rereading them this summer and it's a lovely throwback 🥰 I can't believe these havent been made into an epic fantasy TV series yet. Pierce really knows how to write female protagonists

@cmconseils Also we've already had a president with two step children and no biological children of their own - his name was George Washington

@kaia It's probably not very expensive, if they're all used phones anyway. Meta dumps a lot of money into measurement research and fingerprinting to catch device spoofing & bots, so Selenium might not really cut it. Users of apps like that give away a lot of privacy rights, and Meta uses all of that data to confirm the user agent actually matches the source device. Some sites also blocklist common VPN IP ranges, so using a cheap mobile plan might be better if account longevity is a high priority

@Techaltar the Pixel 4a was the best phone I ever had. I got the Pixel 6 when it came out, and two years after I bought it, it one day just bricked itself randomly and never turned back on again (you can search "Pixel 6 Bricked" to see that this is a widespread problem with no apparent solution or even response from Google). I'm not sure what happened but ever since the 5 it seems that their phones have been all downhill, and you'll see a lot of posts about people downgrading to older models :(

@Techaltar What do you mean by "first party hardware" though? Afaict the Pixels are made by Foxconn
