@SmashToday Zooey Zephyr tweeted about it! https://twitter.com/ZoAndBehold/status/1716970531843444853

but yes, I can't help wonder if pursuing right-to-repair/IP reform laws, even just in Washington State, would be anything here

Thrilling chase underway in Manchester...

I don't have much hope that new cars will be less invasive of my privacy any time soon, but this sort of project gives me hope that when the time comes to replace my car (hopefully a decade from now), that I might be able to convert it or some other pre-privacy-invasion car to electric.

Personally I got 27 points, so 27 franchises I guess

Thankfulness seems to be a running theme throughout the Bible. We see Moses give thanks to God after the parting of the Red Sea. (Exodus 15:1-19) We see Jesus give thanks to the Father for hearing Him just before Lazarus is resurrected. (John 11:41-44) And one of the Psalms says, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His steadfast love endures forever." (Psalm 106:1) We're told by Paul to "give thanks always for all things to God and the Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 5:20)

In my experience, I've found that following this advice is extremely beneficial. Thankfulness makes hardship easier to endure. It makes it harder to take things for granted. It helps me keep my priorities straight to remember to be thankful to God for what He has given me, since I remember that all I have is a gift from Him and ought to be used for His will. A lot of times, it even helps diffuse anger to remember to be thankful for whoever or whatever you're angry at.

What's something you're thankful for today?

Mobian started as a hobby project, triggered by the excitement of finally being able to hack one’s mobile phone at will. It is fair to say that the device that made it possible back then was the original PinePhone. However, after running once again into the same difficulties we experienced over and over, we’re wondering whether maintaining support for this device is still worth the effort…
