Thanks for the encouragement! The one person is a key player in that network so maybe! Hard to fight with the apple folks.

Dang. I haven’t had a console since NES and am bummed to hear that is a thing with a closed system at this point in time. NES only did that as it aged and we didn’t blow the right way 😅

That sounds great! So far, after five years, I have won a single person. Even back when Signal worked as a more regular messenger. Happy for you 🙂

Sometimes the game would just quit. But I remember that being more of a thing when floppies were around and playing a game in DOS using a CD was stressing the system. Or that cheap 5 in 1 floppy game package that had some bad code.

I have accepted no RCS. I miss some of the features, sure, but until I can get more than one person to use something like signal I’ll stick with insecure SMS thru a FOSS provider I guess.

What about swappa? I just replaced my 3a with a 7a. I would consider donating it to the cause but had thought about doing something with it.

Cool, thanks! I was wondering if the egg was olive. I am not sure quail egg makes more sense to me but obviously I have little experience. I looked up uni, probably never had sea urchin.

I live very far from a coast and this is a type of food that I know I like, but generally don’t eat since it doesn’t make sense in my environment. Thanks for sharing it!

What is it? I know this broadly as sushi, but am not sure what any of the items are. Except maybe for the wasabi and possibly ginger next to it?

It looks pretty!

I don’t really understand the interface, but I hit “power” and was watching some music videos from 1994 and I appreciate you sharing this ❤️

There are many things like this on youtube that you can watch via third party software. The FBI files, all sorts of Alaska things, not sure about reruns. Ibjave used freetube for a long time but it doesn’t always work. Not working at all on Linux right now. At least not with the latest update. Newpipe still works if you are on mobile.

Reading the article, I was wondering about the temporal nature of these. It is probably best to avoid spoilers (so maybe don’t answer?), but I could see these apertures closing on someone featuring into a horrifying chapter indeed!

I was a little skeptical and just looked at NFPA codes (USA) and they don’t seem to care about placement elevation, only type of rooms and heating sources. I didn’t read all 68 pages, only what seemed relevant, so maybe I missed some discussion.

I’m in a pretty similar boat to you. Not great financials, not a lot of spare time, I live in a remote location with limited purchasing options. But I made the decision a long time ago to not use Amazon. That does mean purchasing from multiple sources, seeking vendors who will sell products, and maybe pay a little more.

The thing about Amazon is that their pricing is artificial. The whole package, from item price to shipping is meant to capture you, the consumer, into their ecosystem. I am willing to spend a small amount extra to not support hegemonic practices. It isn’t even that much money, and the time investment to find sources is just that (an investment). For most of my mail order stuff, I already know the vendors to use.

I don’t like to castigate folks for using amazon, and I apologize if I was too confrontational, but I do want to encourage people to engage in their options before amazon is all we have.

Best wishes finding quality sources!

Amazon is pretty necessary in much of the US

I couldn’t disagree more. Amazon is a choice. You have to choose other options and move away from the mindset of immediacy.

I don’t think I am the target audience for these products, and have no answers for you, but am curious what these would do above what turning the device off. Is a device that is powered off still reachable? Or is this not about that?

Anyway, on to the non answers, when i worked around wiring that needed to not be affected by interference from adjacent wiring, it would we shielded by aluminum. It was thicker than household foil, and had braiding. The wires could be run with other, non shielded wires, most of which were dramatically different voltages.

I am not a scientist 😅

My experience is very dated, but I bought a used windows Asus laptop in 2013 and put Ubuntu on it and experienced no problems. I had been using Linux for a long time, so maybe I remember this with rose glasses, but it was very straight forward. Also an integrated GPU, but of the 2013 era. I think the laptop was a 2012 model.

Config isn’t hard, it just takes time 🙂

Is she on youtube? Now I fear my niece, who has unregulated access to that “thing,” seeing something or someone like her 😬

I’ve heard the name, but otherwise I really don’t know the connection. I know she is an “influencer,” is it the bad influence connection?

Maybe Huck Finn was actually an action.

Copy, I guess I got something right. USA doesn’t seem very safe right now, maybe for different reasons but also perhaps also this.

Edit to add I got nothing right 😅 Just the last name…
