Dude, thank you for saying that about the Mexican food. I’ve been saying this online for a while and it’s not well understood how good it is all the way across the US, even in small towns. Now, there are regional differences, as you would expect, but it’s only a bit worse than Mexico and way better than just about anywhere else in the world
Americans don’t play about Mexican food. We want it high quality, high quantity, and we’ll support it
Check out Heliboard (also on F-Droid) and follow the instructions to enable gesture typing. I also suggest Futo for on-device voice to text.
What specific apps are you using that you can’t deal going away from? Other than some social media or gamr or something. Even then it seems like there are replacements a lot of the time
Unless its something like Bitwarden where you can use it even if they go offline, can take an encrypted or unencrypted backup of your local passwords/accounts, and are FOSS so you can easily self-host your own version if anything happens where you want to cut ties (thanks Vaultwarden!). They’re an awesome company and one I highly suggest supporting with a paid account
This is what I landed on, really happy with it. Sync super fast, keeps adding features, clean UI, great WYSIWYG rich text, and dead simple imports. Plus they regularly do discounts, so even the low cost gets lower. Way better than the headache of SN or whatever else is out there
iPhones tend to send close to the same types of info back home. When started, idle, inserting a SIM, on the settings screen, even when not logged in. Like, its very similar even when you look at comprehensive lists which a lot of people either don’t know or ignore. I’m not saying that there aren’t specific benefits or reasons to feel more comfortable with Apple. But saying its because they intrinsically are more private, I feel like that’s a bridge too far
Just don’t use a window envelope
I live at a place where I needed Starlink so I feel entitled to comment.
Ordered, and it took 6-7mo to allow me to start. In the meantime T-Mobile Home Internet let me start immediately. I kept both because when one had issues the other would be better (storms, updates, tower maintenance, downtime, Russian attacks, etc). But I noticed that Starlink kept getting worse. Lower speed, worse jitter/ping/bufferbloat/etc. it would routinely fail to hit 100mbps down with good sky view, mounted to a pergola. TMHI would routinely be above 250mbps, and I move to using it more often. Eventually a local ISP got a grant to roll out FttH in my area and I got rid of both.
It’s been a bit over a year since then, maybe things got better. But I noticed Starlink overselling their nodes, being non-communicative for support issues, and missing these easily attainable FCC goals to people that often have much less options than I did. There’s no reason for them to get absolutely wiped by a cell phone tower. Hope they made enough by packing on customers, because they just lost $900m
Check out koreader to put another OS on there. Might be what you’re looking for
Highly agreed, and I came from Standard Notes most recently. Desktop, web, mobile, syncing, and does it all well enough I bought the upgraded pro version to support the model
If I understand it right, it’s not a laser shooting heat into space. It doesn’t require a clear sky to function. It’s just moving the heat effectively away from itself by bypassing the atmospheric insulation, wherever that might be. And that goes for pointing it as well, except you wouldn’t really want it under direct sun for best heat transfer
He’s a sysadmin and he doesn’t do downtime

Or, given 10 million years head start plus building time, you could use a Caplan Thruster stellar engine to make that 100% sure
Of all the dumb things you’ve said, this is the dumbest. I bet serious money you’ve never lived in any of these areas, and just because less people live there doesn’t mean no one would notice you setting up a farmstead on their property and either call the sheriff or enforce their rights themselves.
Not to mention the government wanting their taxes or permits and throwing you in jail once they got wind of anything. Homeless people get assaulted, their belongings destroyed, And their lives ruined every single day in even tiny towns in the Midwest. You’re not escaping society there, it’s very conformist. This has big high school libertarian energy
Yes we do, money started around temple societies in the fertile crescent to control people and keep them centrally located.
Also, there is no known historical example of a purely barter economy. What’s known now is everything tended to work on an informal gift/reputation economy.
Until money came along, was typically forced upon people, and then if the money system failed, people fell back to a barter system. Neither money or barter are natural for the vast majority of human time and society
They’re the best!
To be fair, this is how the YouTube algorithm requires big channels to act to maximize views, ads, and money. They’ve got way too many people reliant on that income to do anything different than exactly what best optimization strategies work
I remember Ars Technica had an article or series on his bad decisions called “Apotheker needs an Apothecary” and lit into him for all the dumb things he was saying and doing. I just don’t see how you can have the manufacturing and branding behemoth HP was then, get giftwrapped Palm and webOS while RIM was still in the process of imploding, and fumble the bag so hard
Absolutely, oil and car companies. And they were behind the push for highway bypasses (conveniently running through immigrant and PoC neighborhoods) and suburbs (many of them redlined and outright racial exclusionary.
