It could be a Facebook profile entry!

Oh yay! Happy times. The fdroid version doesn’t have that yet but I look forward to the update.

It is way way lighter weight and is overall a better experience. I use osmand for routing because the voice is much better tuned (OM just says barely-useful things like “turn left” instead of “turn left at Broadway”. I think both have their uses. If the voice was better I would use OM exclusively.

“Less traumatic than violent, ad-hoc suicide” perhaps?

I’ve been slowly trying thumbkey but seem to be struggling to get to the point where I feel comfortable using it over qwerty. I love the concept as I also hate using qwerty… Yet I still seem more accurate using the crutch of autocorrect. With thumbkey I have to go back and correct more than I thought I would. I can kinda touch-type at a decent rate now but I definitely need more practice.

All of this is to ask: is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?

Recently cut, myself! Happy to have done so.

Yeah, normalize either being okay. Just like long or short hair. Diversity is the spice of life.

Gruvbox is the color scheme I call home. I always come back to it.

Considering the absolutely devastating performance hits 3.x brings (and the apparent design failures that make it extremely difficult if not impossible to reclaim it) I wonder if openssl’s days are numbered. WolfSSL seems to be favorable to the HAProxy team. Hopefully that can get some traction.

It’s not that they necessarily care, it’s that it’s the assumed default. So then I have to respond with “I can’t do that, can you upload it here?” it makes me the odd one out making people jump through hoops.

The iphone/non-iphone situation is utterly insane to me. I am constantly being punished for not having an iphone, be it texting or airdrop. These things should be standardized and interoperable, not owned commodities by companies. Grrr.

Not sure if this was referencing it but just in case someone doesn’t know:

These stories continue to come out. And things continue to not change.

Because the commenter didn’t want to stoop to ad hominems?

Baby boomers got burned more than Nero ever did!

Don’t hate it! You were just born in a different time. Your time will come where you have to explain to the young ones about how “smart phones” worked since they’ll just have their implants as interfaces. And also jetpacks.

And weird bugs like Windows audio somehow creeping into audio CD burns. Or the times in Linux where the tray would refuse to open or close. I used to keep a paper clip next to my next to force it open sometimes…

I don’t miss that hardware.

That is so wild! I love the inventiveness of human interface devices. Too bad it isn’t FOSS, it’d be nice to see it in fdroid.

It took me until graduate school to learn that “mortified” is not another word for “scared”/“fearful”

It still looks that way to me what with mort in there!

It also took me a long time to realize that the word “awry”, which I read often in books and inferred its meaning, and “ah-rai” were the same thing. I thought awry was pronounced “aw-ree” and it was just a synonym for “ah-rai”.

I’ve been trying it out and I like it a lot! Haven’t switched yet though.
