Yeah, I have zero hope for North America in that (and sadly many other) regards. 

 @LucasGGamerM

Oh man! That's a very senior lady of a car! (:

I had an '02 Corolla. She wasn't super sturdy of axle (definitely not a gravel-road car), and she had the engine oil sludge problem, but she would've lasted me a lot of years if not for getting totalled in an unfortunate accident. 

 @b1398a2d

Dwindling because of unrealistic prices, not demand, unfortunately.

At least in North America, our cities are designed for cars and only cars.

What's crazy is that I remembered that scene in such detail after only seeing the movie once in 1994. XD 

 @05300f3b @461d0168

Well, if you let all your berserker powers out now, you'll have nothing left for battle! ;)

Also, not a very good app. Couldn't load older videos at all, but that's kind of par for the course for niche Roku apps.

I found the SNR to be about the same as #PeerTube, with the important distinction that PeerTube's "noise" consists of lots of random videos that are neither very good, nor very bad, but just "stuff," while #LBRY/#Odysee's "noise" is... bonkers crazy awfulness. Insane political crap (heavy on the neo-neo-conservative side, a.k.a. fascists and propaganda), spooky nonsense, and just... ugh.

I'd just love something with the flexibility and customization of KDE Plasma, but with fewer bugs. I might try out #Nitrux, as they have a #MauiKit-based DE that is kinda like Plasma-Lite. 

 @05300f3b @:holidaybells: 🦐 :Santa_finger_guns_cool: :holi...

I found out that Roku has an Odyssee app, so I loaded it up for some insomnia viewing.

 @4eebd810

Because for a long time, Chrome was objectively better. Faster, for certain.

Now that's no longer the same, but people loathe change, so they stick with the crappy, user-hostile solution. 

 @1324ee1a

I'm kinda sad that the NextStep derivates are all in maintenance mode and barely used (not counting Apple products). That OS had so many great ideas.

Have you looked at HelloSystem and AiryxOS? They're both #FreeBSD-based OS projects taking inspiration from early Mac OS X.

#HelloSystem is trying to recreate the feel, functionality, and philosophy of pre-iOSification Mac OS X, while #Airyx is actually striving for Mac OS compatibility.

 @461d0168

Paging @05300f3b ;) 

 @:holidaybells: 🦐 :Santa_finger_guns_cool: :holi...

Cryptocrap, though. :'(

Looks interesting, but it sounds like a social media equivalent to LBRY. 

 @873bb2a6

Yeah, much ado about nothing, IMHO. 

 @873bb2a6

Audacity is awesome. I've used it for almost as long as GIMP. 

 @6445ba85

Yeah, it's not a super accurate enumeration, as I'm relying on the mostly braindead marketing terms of others, lol

I'd say that web 3 is neither the semantic web (unfortunately), nor the crytposcam web, but rather the modern, locked-down, siloed, coercive and user-hostile web that we live in today.   y a a y

So Web 2.x was around 2004-2018, and the modern, sinister web has been since then.

I get to annoy #iPhone users all around me?!?

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!! 

 @aa7a537d

I'd honestly love to see an airtag jammer device that incapacitates the AirTag network with false traffic.

Because 1) I didn't sign up to be a part of a wireless tracking network, and 2) Such amazing technology (worldwide wireless mesh networking) should be for the betterment of humanity, not selling apple crap. :P

I'm out. 🤣

In all fairness, Finnish is a beautiful language. But I think I've got a better chance at learning to program the ENIAC. ;)

* Dedicated wifi quick settings button -- For the of of God, what are you doing, GOOG?
* Very friendly community

Things I'd miss if I left #GrapheneOS:
* Hardened everything
* Sandboxed GSF (I can restore in-app purchases!)
* Storage Scopes (YAAAAS!!) 

 @12cd8184

Oh man, my mom even bought me a compuserve subscription. I seem to remember it was something insane like $6/minute?!? (Or was it hour???)

I don't remember using it very much. She got me GEnie in the very early 90s, and that was more affordable (and had a lot of good mac stuff in it)

I vaguely remember hooking up to some BBSes as well, now. 

 @25984fb2 @873bb2a6

You're hosting your own matrix server? :o 

 @873bb2a6

Haven't seen techlore's latest video (kinda of befuddling that he's recommending iOS, but whatevs), but have you checked out some of the minimalistic Andrid launchers?

I'm rather fond of "KISS Launcher," but OLauncher is even more minimalistic. :D 

 @f1f1114e

Also, thank you! I've already gotten further than either of my previous attempts. I'm enjoying it. Mainly learning using #Duolingo. Sometimes I look up some words that get confusing (tio, tiom, kio, kiom, ĉar, pro, pro) and keeping notes in #SimpleNote.

Ĝi really estas tre bela lingvo. :)
Mi looking forward al paroli fluently soon :D 

 @782d52f8

Ahh, I see. So you don't even have to register. That's nice.

Does it work so well that you don't need uBlock Origin? 

 @873bb2a6

I made the mistake of having swim trunks with pockets.

What do I do whenever I'm getting ready to go somewhere? I put my phone in my pocket.

You can extrapolate the rest. XD

It's deader than dead. The screen doesn't even turn on any more.

I did my best to wash it in alcohol to get the fluids out, but phones don't take kindly to (even mild) saltwater, and mine made no pretense of being waterproof. 

 @782d52f8 @25984fb2

Hmm... I'm not personally a huge fan of pork, but ignoring bacon would be ignoring a pretty thick slice (pun intended) of Americana. 

 @782d52f8

You can always call. I'd do that, but my phone isn't letting me make phone calls. :/ 

 @9fb42df3

Belated Happy Anniversary!!

Chicken Tikka Masala is my favorite Indian dish, I think. At least, among the well-known was.

When I was a kid, it was Mattar Paner.
