Canadians: First time?
I keep a GPS in my car in case of emergency, but I try to plan my trips ahead by memorising landmarks on OSM. As a species, we are losing our navigation skills.
As long as automatic playback is not turned on by default!
Linux Mint’s software manager is not bad.
Serious question: What is your opinion on avoiding arguments altogether? The older I get, the less I feel like arguing.
I have been using a flip phone since 2017, but I’m considering switching to VOIP since I don’t use my phone much anyway.
Invidious or Freetube if she’s on a personal computer.
Non-native speaker here. What are the disadvantages of being straightforward? In my native language, it is considered more efficient and polite to be to the point. I have worked with Americans in the past, and I have noticed that they are not straightforward.
This is old school! Great guide, thank you.
FOSS has come such a long way that I don’t need proprietary software anymore for most tasks. The commercial software I use for work is ‘free’ anyway.
Anyone use Session messenger? It doesn’t need a phone number unlike Signal.
Cleaning around the house and catching up on Silo. Might tweak my Emacs config a bit.
I remember having this wallpaper back in the early 00s. Really cool wallpaper :)
Is there a way to browse SSL websites on this version of IRIX?
I saw this video yesterday. LGR wasn’t impressed much. I would probably buy the 386 tablet, though.

I still use both. 99% of Usenet is spam, but there still a few active groups (especially under comp.*). The BBS scene on the other hand, is booming. I see new users every week on my favourite board.
Depending on your situation, most of your issues can be avoided by not owning a smartphone. It’s extreme (by today’s standards, at least), but it does work. I ditched my smartphone back in 2017 for a cheap flip phone. I can find spare parts on eBay easily. My car is older, so there is no SaaS crap in it. If I need to keep in touch with someone, we can use SMS, call each other or meet in real life. I use a Linux laptop for banking/browsing the web and I keep a physical GPS in my car in case of emergency.
and I agree with you. Privacy is pretty much gone already.
