  • So, I’ve heard “over yonder”, and I’ve heard “as the crow flies”, and I live in an area where neither of those phrases are uncommon to hear… But I don’t believe I’ve ever heard them both put together like that.

    “Over yonder” is a casual phrase that’s used to indicate the general direction or location of a place or thing, usually accompanied by a finger pointing in a rough direction.

    “As the crow flies” specifically refers to the shortest distance between two points, rather than travel distance. Like, “the distance between New York and Washington DC is 231 miles by road, or 204 miles, as the crow flies.”

    “Over yonder” already implies that we are referring to a straight line from A to B, so it would be redundant to add “as the crow flies” after it.

    So like, are people really putting those two phrases together like that? If so, I must protest. /angryface




  • That I can’t tell you. My Graphene phone broke and I’m using a Googled phone at present (bleh).

    I checked Graphene’s features page, but this was all I could find:

    Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).





  • This line of reasoning kept me away from password managers for a while, but I’ve been using Bitwarden for almost a year now, and I could never go back.

    You’re technically right, but a better way to look at it is that it reduces your surface of attack from many weak points, down to one, very strong and secure point (assuming you use a reasonably strong password for your vault, and don’t log into your vault on public networks or anything like that).

    But at the end of the day, using a password manager is vastly superior to relying on your memory, which is what many people still do.
