Oh, then there’s hope :) It sounds like there’s been a lot of introspection and a will to change course. Does she feel the same?
For me I’ve been the one saying that our current lifestyle is not working for me. I’ve been saying it for 6 months and I don’t know what more I can do at this point. I wish I had hope. We have good days, but the fundamental issues remain.

I’m sorry to hear that. How are you doing now? If you don’t mind me asking, if there was a point where things were still salvageable, do you think you were both aware of the direction things were heading? Did the realization come at the same time for both of you, or at different times that it was beyond that point? What were the critical signs?

This reminds me of some issues in my relationship. Some problems that never gets solved.

“Why would anyone want to block ads? I will answer that, but first I’m going to tell you about why reverse polish notation is a neat idea for calculators, sorry you can’t skip this part, it’s only 5 minutes for the first part and then I will talk about Cory Doctorows new book for a few minutes, then I will answer.”

Ah! I didn’t know they didn’t sell there, that changes things.

The pro versions will be much more expensive than the “a” models (like 9a, 8a, 7a, etc), if you can find an “a”-phone, it will be cheaper. I would get at least an 8a, since they have support until 2030 or something like that, the 7a has support until 2027. The 6a is the oldest one which still has support, but only for a year or so more iirc.

How much is a refurbished pixel 8a in your country?

Would there be any benefit in running google play services in a private space, or does the sandboxing already provide that separation?

I got a pixel 9a for 370 euro in Sweden, which isn’t too bad. You can get a good refurbished 7 for less and it will have support for years to come.

In my country everything is built around this 2FA app that requires Google Play Services. But a phone with GrapheneOS and sandboxed google play should be better in total than just running stock android I guess? I wish I didn’t need google play services, but currently I do.

I have never felt comfortable dancing in public, and thought it was because I was shy or something. Then I realized that I just didn’t like the music. Now I dance at home to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I probably look insane doing that, but it comes naturally and feels good.
