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 have no idea what apps are sharing with what. On Android network access is so ambiguous. There's such fuzzy wording. Like when you are asked for location permission to use blueto…

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 ap…

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…

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 simil…

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 jus…

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. Ye…

Bluesky has potential with the AT protocol. I think I had a flagged post on Bluesky, early on that just referenced something elsewhere - it was pretty harmless. And I remember a fe…

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…

But perhaps, not so good, don't google that one.

Great app name: ontheloo

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 tha…

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 b…

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 …

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 …

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 th…

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, …

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…

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 …

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…

I don't want to totally neg on web dev. But it does suck donkey balls. I've been doing it for years. From writing raw html,to using scripting langs, frameworks and what not. And th…
