We have local community groups on FB. One for our hamlet of about 50 houses. Some households refuse to join as they don't do Facebook. I only do Facebook because of the local group. I long ago gave up trying to fill…
It's actually a real drag. I live in a rural area and the mobile signal is up and down. Sometimes I don't get SMSs for hours to a day late.
Don't forget Anom. (A cautionary tale.) https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/146/
I read an article that said something along the lines of people aren't prepared to pay for apps, so instead we get app store silo advert supported crap-ware. And if it's not the apps its click bait making fractional…
I wouldn't say it's all trash, but I find TV like this. I loathe most of it finding it pretty vacuous. I am still drawn to it. We had a defining realisation last year when we found a Youtube channel where a guy cleans…
I was very late to the party getting a smartphone. Didn't stop me picking up my laptop repeatedly. Visiting the same old haunts. I have yet to install Facebook or Whatsapp or similar. I think it would be the death of…
If we could cut people's tongues out the world would be a better place. I don't know, I think communication can provide a fertile ground for good exchanges as well as bad. It's just somewhat stifled in the current forms.
Self-hosting sounds good but the security concerns are just a bind. Plus you need stability. Like having a home. Our electric grid falls over at least once a week where we live. Yes I could use batteries, but no, I…
I used to enjoy using browsers like W3M, if you can just throw assets at your favourite tool of choice, like an image viewer, a video player, it just feels better for me as I don't have to learn a different interface…
But perhaps, not so good, don't google that one.

It was a joke, of course I don't get my partner to chew my foods for me. The blending is not so much the issue. It's the saliva being an important part of the digestive process that counts. Blended soups can upset my…
It's just play. Meaning that I'm too lazy to even chew my own food, so I get someone else to do it. Like on Ferenginar.
Yes.
I thought that fat had been un-demonised and overtaken by sugars and ultra-processed foods. Looking in my stock cupboard, the raw fats I do get are probably the best bang for the buck nutritionally.
Never mind being paid to have children. I'd just like to have the means to support a dog. It's bizarre to think that in a nation like the UK we'd struggle so much. We have put off having kids and now have probably…
It's always weird reading HN with over inflated egos, and those on good salaries. I've been in debt for over a decade. For some that money would be chicken feed, but for me it has ensured I'm in perpetual debt. I never…
I don't know, there's many people with dairy intolerance. A bit off puffed grain draped in sugar with a sprinkle of vitamins, in a headache inducing substance doesn't sound like the best start for any kid. But agree…
There's foods that trigger GERD for me, and I used to roll around the floor every night in agony, not knowing quite what was going on, as it was my norm. To fix late night issues, I just have to eat before 6pm. Chew…
Out the box the squashed tabs vs the silly tab scroll thing on Firefox is horrible. But it reminds me I have too many tabs open anyway. I mainly use FF, but the UI really is behind the times. Notice MS marketing stuff…
AIs are magic to me. The pattern recognition feature of human I've always thought pretty unique and hard to replicate. We use it when scanning the slop on websites to do some kind of data extraction. I was part of the…
There was that small window of niceness, where the html diminished in size. Now it's just all pseudo inline styles painted by class names with lashings of scripts. Always surprised when you peek under pretty much a…
Just been in a holiday cottage out on the exposed dales in the English peaks. And by about day four we had fruit flies. Sometimes I think they emerge from the bananas.
Weird isn't it. I used to run Opera on a Pentium 200 with a pitiful amount of ram. Oh how times change.
I have mostly old hardware (the best computers I have is a smartphone and a macmini from 2012). I'm disappointed when I load newer Linux distros and they appear slower. Even though I now have SSDs. Browsers are really…
