I....was never using Graphene?

Currently running stock 15. 15-based Calyx is my best OS upgrade. Or possibly e/OS.

now with the Pixel device-specific code being closed sourced

I have yet to update my Pixel to Android 16 specifically because of this.

Calyx is going to be my next update. I say that a lot, but I've been methodically going through all of my apps and making sure everything I use will work on a de-googled ROM. It takes time.

Graphene OS devs tend to sniff their own farts and claim it's roses.

Unless you have a legitimate need for that kind of locked down security, I wouldn't worry about any of what they have to say.

Yeah, exactly.

Maybe some do, but it's not a common thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was a big reason.

That said, the whole porn trope of a clearly-not-teenager dressing up as a "teenager" with pigtails and everything is just....weird. It's not a turn on for me in the slightest. Even when I was a teenager and came across that, my first thought was "that's not how girls my age operate".

The whole show is about how Rick is a selfish prick. That episode was also about Rick being a selfish prick and trying to weasel out family therapy by turning himself into a pickle.

That's it. That was the entire reason for Pickle Rick. But the idiots who idolize Rick for some reason cranked it up to full retard.

they canned him as writer/ voice actor and the show kind of lost it's flair.

You're joking, right?

Roiland is a great voice actor, but the rambling "comedy" bits got old and repetitive real fast. I don't miss them. That, and the new VOs hit it out of the park.

I got this email last night and immediately saw through it. Turned to my wife and said, "SSA social media staff is compromised".

Anyone who's dealt with a narcissistic partner (ex or otherwise) should be very familiar with these tactics.

It is a no-win situation.

Got myself some energy monitoring Zigbee plugs and made an interesting discovery (sh.itjust.works)

I'm in the process of getting my Home Assistant environment up and running, and decided to run a test: it turns out that my gaming PC (custom 5800X3D/7900XTX build) uses more power just sitting idle, than both of my storage freezers combined.

Background: In addition to some other things, I bought two "Eightree" brand Zigbee-compatible plugs to see how they fare. One is monitoring the power usage of both freezers on a power strip (don't worry, it's a heavy duty strip meant for this), and the other is measuring the usage of my entire desktop setup (including monitors and the HA server itself, a Lenovo M710q).

After monitoring these for a couple days, I decided that I will shut off my PC unless I'm actively using it. It's not a server, but it does have WOL capability, so if I absolutely need to get into it remotely, it won't be an issue.

Pretty fascinating stuff, and now my wife is completely on board as well; she wants to put a plug on her iMac to see what it draws, as she uses it to hold her cross-stitch files and other things.
