@lemmy.blahaj.zoneHaving read the book more recently than watched the movie, but isn't this very obvious?
The electric animals are reduced to a reference in the movie while they are a really important part of the novels world building and the different characters motivation for a higher status...
Having now read the article too I gotta say it's a really weird take to say the usage of blade runner for the movie and the job deckard does is inherently better is a weird take. They are my least favourite additions from the movie actually.
The name might be easier to market but the job now being percieved as detached from the police department harms the story in my opinion.
Any next phone I will buy will have to last me more than 5 years minimum. So far the only phone that I can safely assume to do so is whatever the latest Fairphone will be when my pixel 6 dies.
This phone as aged like milk.
My previous one, the OnePlus 5T did last me 5 years. And I want to repeat that.
A foldable won't even last me half a year if I'm not careful about debris on the screen every single time I fold it.
I keep forgetting boomer is an age group, it being the one my parents belong to...
To me, boomer is more of a mindset that ranges a lot. I know quite a few ppl my age with said mindset.
If I upset you by using this term in this negative manner I am sorry.
I`ve heard those system wide ad blockers got people blocked on other apps that have ads like tiktok or instagram... while I try not to use them as often and switch to fediverse platforms over time, 99% of my social interactions sadly happen on those corperate owned platforms still
This is so far out of my interest of browsing habits I really doubt it. Unless the ad purposefully misuses the tagging system (or whatever ads use for the algorithm) this has to be random
I mean it's literally how I remembered it being a name. And it's a pretty common one too once you look for it.
I don't mind it for now and it has been more if a conversation starter than anything. Also some one line friends keep calling me mayannaise which is funny as hell to me.
With my deadname playing with the name of it in a mocking way always felt like the worst insult possible to me. With my chosen name it's fun and I take part in it... I think that's a good sign
As someone whose egg cracked very recently I am still unsure if Maya will be my final decision.
It's tough for me. The female Versions of my deadname were ones ingot bullied with my entire teen years so they have this very negative memory to them.
First I went in a direction of names I just find nice and pretty I guess. Starting with Sofia which didn't really fit my vibe, then Florence which is a really nice name but a bit too extra for me. Shortened it to Flora but that felt odd.
For two months now my gf and some friends have been calling me Maya. How did I find it? I reminded of the 3D program Maya. I remembered it's also a name. I liked the sound of it and it felt like it fit my vibe and so far that has been the case
For budget I'd always go with the current Pixel A-series
I am not that happy with my pixel 6 tho. I paid a lot and now like a year and a half after j bought I already look forward to replacing it.
I think my next phone will either be a Fairphone or a Asus ZenFone if they continue their current, amazing trend
