I’ve always made the argument that if you stub your toe and say the f word, what will you say when you cut your toe off? Shit!

What is facewashing?

I didn’t realize until I read your linked article that wireless charging is essentially induction. Contactless. I have never had one of these devices. Now I want modern earbuds even less. Thanks for sharing that article!

I’m not sure how to feel about this, either, haha. But both my sister and I are 40+ and she has not had a computer for at least 10 years. Smartphone only.

As a person who has taught others (mostly high school students) how to shit while backpacking, this is missing some of the fun (unrealistic) positions,like hanging from a branch. Or the buddy dump.

Unless things have changed, Ironfox is for mobile only.

Haha I’m a townie, I don’t get out on long rides much and the last few bikes I owned have had fenders. But I did have clipless pedals in the past and cared more then 🙂 maybe I should get out on longer rides more 🤔

As a cyclist, I worry how this oversized helmet will perform in an accident. As an appreciator of individual expression, hop to it!

I read the disqus comments and still am not sure I get what is going on here. I thought maybe it had something to do with that nursery rhyme, but that doesn’t seem to work. The one explanation in the comments seems to require more intimate knowledge of another comic, which I do not 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, it seems if these two could combine houses, they would each have a better overall quality of shoe!

Given the location of the next one that may happen.

You’re a little off on our ages, but your point still stands 🙂 What is behind that statement is me seeing him talk about these things for so long. He was messing with OS/2 and some Linux stuff before Windows came out, but completely quit after about 1993. He would, however, talk about it.

He was the first of us to get a smartphone (Apple) and did a lot of tinkering with it then, but quit. I personally have been using Linux OSes for 20 years and even gave an old desktop of mine to fiddle with 10 years ago, which he loved!

He wants to do this stuff but has trouble starting his own projects. He has spent time with my phone, my computers, etc. If I lived closer this would be a great way to spend time together since we don’t have a whole lot in common.

The reality is he is the nerdy kid who learned programming on punch cards and switched to that field in the 60s as soon as he learned what a computer was. He has always wanted to do “gadgety” things. He does have some dispensable income. I have enjoyed hearing him talk about this new nettop and the shenanigans he gets into with it! So much better than discussing the weather.

Wow, I thought I drank a lot of tea, but it’s rarely more than a liter. This is insanity!

It’s been a long time since I used Ubuntu, but at the time I did I recall running into issues keeping too many old kernels. They were stored in a fixed space folder (or maybe partition?) that was like 100MB and sometimes wouldn’t clear out automatically, so I remember this. May not be relevant now, but if it is, space in the storage folder is the limiting factor so you would need to change that. If it IS a partition, then you would need to deal with all that is involved with that.

edited to add that my current OS only stores three or four as well. I have never really dived into it.

Would this not just be suicide? Linguistically, this would be “you,” but “you” would be “me.” It’s even weirder than talking about oneself in third person… IMO.

That could be. I tried the user agent switcheroo but then got stuck in a Cloudfare loop. While it worked for me in Firefox, I haven’t really fiddled much with the settings in it so it probably didn’t offer much protection and I didn’t do a private window. I think the best answer, for me, is to keep things like this partitioned off from some main browsing session. Not my area of expertise!

My elderly, former programmer father is one. Too bad it took him 30 years after first trying but he is up and running now for about three months 😁️ Now to get him off the Apple phone and into an alt android OS…

It blocked me with Librewolf, but works in Firefox. Seems weird.

Once I was able to pull it up, pretty neat interface! Lot’s of pictures of local places I don’t usually see. I will have some fun with this!

It’s true that annular may not be as exciting as total, but still pretty neat. If either one ever happens close enough for you to see I hope you can make it! Totally worth it.

Total and annular are two different things, save your eyes 🙂

Wow, seeing this collage the first thing that came to mind was a Jamiroquai video, and the only video from this picture referenced is this new-to-me group. So fitting. Thanks!
