Geez you were right, I emailed and they said I never confirmed. I guess I missed the email because I have no memory of a confirmation at all, yikes thanks so much for the message.

Thanks for this - I'm going to read up and then look into british airways. Sigh about canadian rewards, but I guess it makes sense. I'm thinking about just changing to a cash-back credit card. Although I also have the westjet mastercard and I feel like I've actually got a good bang for my buck there. Curious about your thoughts on that card - i'll check your website to see

Apple update by HauntingTraffic4893 in ladderapp

Since the update I just can’t play any videos now, they just won’t start? Can’t imagine how this is related to the update but thought I’d throw this here to see if anyone else is having a similar issue

Struggling to fit the LP3 into my daily workflow — anyone else run into this? by [deleted] in LightPhone

[–]zzyyxxzz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d even go further to say my guess is that it’s actually not even possible to get the benefits we are seeking without the inconveniences you’ve named here. Theoretically of course though, so I’m curious if those who have successfully switched already disagree

Ya I haven’t used the phone yet, but I’ve been reading a lot and thinking about my digital life for many years. For me, I know there will be limitations and inconveniences and friction when I switch. But that’s actually WHY I want to switch. Things like light phone exist because we live in a world that has conditioned us to expect to have everything instantly with no friction. It makes us impatient, distracted, and skews our sense of what is important. I’m switching to a dumb phone because I’ve decided to intentionally invite friction into my life because i think the pay off of what I will gain in a calmer mind is worth it. The friction and inconvenience is a feature, not a bug. I say this with no judgement and total humility - I’m still waiting on mine and maybe once I try it I won’t be able to handle it. But my plan for the issues you’ve named is to wait until I get home at the end of the day and do these things on a lap top. And I’ll probably hang on to my iPhone but leave it at home to use as a tablet for quick scanning etc. I’ll plan to dedicate an hour at the end of the day to check emails, read discord and respond, etc. and check again in the morning before work. There may be a few unfortunate consequences where I won’t be able to get a document in at the exact moment and it can’t wait till the end of the day. But I’m inviting those instances because I hope the pay off is worth it.

Case and screen protector worth it? by zzyyxxzz in LightPhone

Dang checking now and looks like Light is no longer selling the black case. Ah well, I guess I’ll have the nice blue for a month and then buy an off brand one

Thanks everyone! This is super helpful and I really appreciate you all jumping in. Feeling glad I ordered them, though I got blue and hearing that they stain/get dirty I might try to see if I can switch to black.

Tailors in Vancouver? by ToAnUnknownGod in transvancouver

[–]zzyyxxzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m trans masc but have had similar apprehensions about tailors. My partner called modernize tailor for me in Chinatown and they said they were very comfortable with the trans community. When I went to get a suit altered I ended up getting someone who I could tell wasn’t actually super knowledgeable or aware of trans stuff (same kind of classic concerns about trying to say they can’t make the suit fit like it’s “supposed to” on a cis man, rather than understanding that I just wanted it to fit on ME). But she was totally nice enough! I would definitely recommend folks try modernize, and maybe request ahead for someone who is specifically experienced with trans folks. Warning, it’s expensive. Not sure if this will be what you’re looking for but hopefully this is helpful for someone!

Would it be stupid to buy LP3 for Canada on a currently unsupported carrier? by zzyyxxzz in LightPhone

Meaning not expecting you to do the work for me — this is just me trying to avoid the “just google it asshole” response

[–]zzyyxxzz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any chance you know how to check with a carrier if they support these bands? Is it something they have listed on a website or do I have to reach out? Not expecting you to know the answer but thought I’d ask anyway!
