Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships

Title: Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagshipsBody:
Hey everyone, I'm looking at phones around the $1000 price point and would love some input. I've been an iOS user for years but I'm seriously considering making the jump to Android this time.
Here's what I'm looking at:
iPhone 17 Pro - The safe choice since I'm already in the ecosystem
Samsung Galaxy S25 - Hearing good things about this generation
Pixel 10 Pro - Probably crossing this one off the list due to the stability issues I've been reading about (the 911 call failures, overheating problems, etc.)
Nothing Phone - The design looks really cool, but I'm not sure if they have anything in this price range
For those who've made the switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), what would you recommend? Any major gotchas I should know about? And is the Nothing Phone even worth considering as a daily driver at this price point?
Thanks in advance!

Marjorie Taylor Greene tells Bill Maher she believes extraterrestrials are demons
Georgia Republican lawmaker also claims she didn’t know Rothschild family, of her ‘space laser’ theory, was Jewish
Republican US House member Marjorie Taylor Greene has said she believes in demons, surmising that they might be aliens who fell from heaven, and claims to have been unaware that key figures in the antisemitic space lasers conspiracy she floated were Jewish.
She made those bizarre remarks as a guest on Friday on HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher after winning some fans among Democrats who once loathed her – yet had come to appreciate how the far-right Georgia representative had recently broken with Republicans on various issues. Those include healthcare, Gaza, the federal government shutdown that began on 1 October and the handling of documents pertaining to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was friends with Donald Trump before the latter man won two presidencies.
Greene’s appearance on Maher’s show perhaps made evident the ideological distance between the congresswoman – who has conspicuously avoided directly criticizing Trump himself – and some of her newer, cross-aisle admirers.

Trump’s MRI scan raises specter of secrecy in presidential health
Trump’s off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding Trump’s health and the need for presidents to be more transparent.
Trump is the oldest person to be elected president, and his aides and allies have long projected him as the picture of strength and vitality.
Outside physicians initially raised questions after Trump visited Walter Reed Military Medical Center earlier this month for what the White House described as a routine follow-up visit, though it was his second visit in six months.

Ti presentiamo il nuovissimo Affinity: design professionale, ora gratuito per tutti
Ti presentiamo la nuovissima Affinity, un'app di progettazione professionale completamente ripensata che combina strumenti di fotoritocco, progettazione vettoriale e impaginazione in un'unica piattaforma veloce e reattiva, ora completamente gratuita per tutti.
Quando Affinity è entrata a far parte della famiglia Canva lo scorso anno, abbiamo promesso di preservarne la potenza ampliandone al contempo le possibilità. Oggi quella visione diventa realtà con la nuovissima Affinity: un'app creativa di livello professionale che riunisce strumenti vettoriali, fotografici e di layout in un'unica piattaforma ad alte prestazioni. Completa di tutte le funzionalità. Veloce come un fulmine. E completamente gratuita.
Per troppo tempo, i designer professionisti non hanno avuto quasi nessuna scelta sugli strumenti da utilizzare, da software pesanti che li rallentavano, ad abbonamenti che si accumulavano e flussi di lavoro che interrompevano la creatività. In tutta la comunità creativa abbiamo sentito le stesse frustrazioni: una richiesta di velocità, potenza e libertà. I designer hanno chiesto gli strumenti che amano, quindi li abbiamo ascoltati e abbiamo creato qualcosa di meglio.

Steam On Linux Gaming Finally Cracks 3% For October 2025
cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/52221052
Steam on Linux use has hit an all-time high! With the Steam Survey results for October 2025 coming out this evening, Steam on Linux has finally cracked the 3% threshold! A few months back Steam on Linux was close to 3% before stumbling a bit but now it's above that elusive threshold. The only time Steam on Linux use was close to the 3% mark was when Steam on Linux initially debuted a decade ago and at that time the overall Steam user-base was much smaller than it is today. Long story short, thanks to the ongoing success of Valve's Steam Deck and other handhelds plus Steam Play (Proton) working out so well, these October numbers are the best yet.

in reply to Dippy • • •I was only able to get a few minutes in.
The complaint started off with "They like the aesthetic but don't know how to get there or have the engineering to do it!".
Actually, correcting myself, it started with an in-video ad for a computer desk.
After I skipped that nonsense, it got to the complaint, which amounted to "people like the aesthetic of these videos! But there are engineering issues with some of these works of art that aren't actual engineering but instead just movies and videos people like the aesthetics of!"
and that'd be when I stopped watching.

in reply to curbstickle • • •He goes on to have, what I believe, is a valid complaint: Leftists have ideals which block progression towards our goals.
One example: Instead of building a wind farm, we are arguing about economic impact, and then still stay on coal while we that argument occurs.
I think overall the video misses the point. The complaints are that bureaucracy/red tape/seeking perfection (in states such as CA) prevent society from doing things with impact such as building high speed rail, creating 15 minute communities (Shout out to !15minutecity@slrpnk.net), and providing shelter for all.
This is completely valid, but it has nothing to do with solarpunk.
