I just assumed the labido waned. After experiencing trauma, both myself and partner haven't really been into that. Add the pandemic, and it's a downer. I now have a tumour in the n…

It's merely an observation. Like comparing TV news with radio. A 30min show seems to carry the same info as five minutes of audio. Something I noticed when just reading a paragraph…

Might cork line the walls behind the books.

I love books but my partner turns the TV on every night of the week. I get about 30x the value in 1/2 paragraph of fiction than TV. And non-fiction can be soo much more info dense …

Oh Man, we moved ten years back and still don't have all our books out. I just want to go floor to ceiling with them on party walls in part to use as sound insulation.

Agree a load of old crap that could have been achieved in the most part with a better implementation of html frames. Sames sucky problems like publishing barriers, Devs holding sit…

I remember people touting this distro. Thanks for the memory.

It's great but for the interaction problem. And mixed contexts. The automated twitter accounts feel like a fire and forget. And you probably want to eavesdrop the conversation. Thi…

I dicked about with jellyfin server and an old android phone connected to a stereo for remote play. Almost good, but WiFi and battery save kicked in and play was spurious. Transcod…

I have wasted so much money on music I barely bother with. Lots of stuff is a one play only for me these days and streaming suits that for experimentation. I do pay for ad-hoc stre…

It's a dumpster fire but for recommended mixes and the odd weird lifted from video rarity.

Will check finanmp, jellyfin is nice that it offers http. The web app is buggy. Kind of 90 percent there. Then I read they are doing a rewrite. I subscribe to the odd free service.…

Have no idea of formats, but been on a track to nothing with crappy systems. And concluded that it's just easier to roll your own. Transfer all your flacs to opus, with playlists, …

People do tend to hang out in particular haunts. Like specific forums. Probably once they have established some social connections/invested time. I haven't got WhatsApp, and the th…

I am from the era where you had to pay a premium for a shallow web. And it was just as addictive for me. I would line the browser up, connect to the Internet, browse fast, and fran…

I love heroin, but like the Internet it's slightly moreish.

When we was kids we would stay in and smoke grass. Never did us any 'arm.

What hobby products will you find Trichloroethylene in/will be exposed to?

No prompts? Sorry do I have to launch the browser with a specific flag? Worried a site can just swamp a local filesystem.

Oh God I am still pretty fat fingered on a phone. But I do like the 'tactile' simplicity. I still think touchscreen UI / OS is in its infancy, and could be better. But am amazed in…

I think I have some cognition issues, and can only read eink and off of crisp OLED. Love touch screens, pointers etc. But don't much like Apple iOS style.

Colours were pretty crap on CRTs. And greys were better on the eyes than dazzling whites. Even Netscape defaulted to grey. I took fvwm and a very simple blue bar, trim and simple w…

Glad we went the Roku route. It performs better than my Chromecast ultra too.

I just wanted to get Apple music going, and had to jump through hoops. In the end I added an iCloud account to the macmini, and now whenever I go to use Apple music/access my apple…

Big snow dome over the entire property I reckon.
