We live in the intersection of where we can afford to rent or buy, and where we like. Sometimes that isn’t near friends.

I just pre-ordered as well, been eyeing off a Framework for at least a year.

If Russia didn’t invade in 2014 this would all have been avoided, don’t you think?

I am in my 34th year and I listen to more new music now than I ever have. Most live music shows I go to now are for newer bands that I’ve only just started listening to. YouTube an…

I just want a phone that gets regular updates and security updates for 5+ years. Why give me hardware that can be repaired when the software is not supported after a few years?

Isn’t Brave doing this?

I tried doing a resume in LaTeX but failed. It’s now in YAML, with layout in HAML and styling in CSS. I am not a developer so I am aware it won’t live up to any kind of standards y…

Wake up (time varies). Have breakfast, coffee, work until done. Of course I have lunch in between (at home). Sometimes I run errands during the day. If I’m feeling up to it I’ll pl…

I was a PayPal customer for 16 years. They then threatened to disable my account unless I completed forms to send to Equifax. I told them to get stuffed and see you later. I really…

I suffered serious burnout a few years back. I took long service leave, any kind of leave, to get away from the stressful and toxic environment. I used that time away to apply for …

Look for jobs with certain keywords like “remote” or “wfh”. Remove location filters. Only engage with recruiters or companies that offer remote jobs. I did these things and landed …

Ukraine has not taken credit for the bridge attack. We still don’t fully know who did it. It could have been Russia for all we know. They have shown a much greater willingness to i…

If their aim was killing civilians, they would have chosen a busy time. They chose the least busiest time. Also, to clear the bridge of all traffic to then attack, would reveal you…

I used Simple Mobile Tools apps on my GrapheneOS phone and I really liked them. I bought an iPhone recently because I wanted a phone with many years of security updates. I miss And…

My partner knows she can buy me a nice bottle of rum or whiskey and that will make my day. I am very easy to buy for.

Also is green and gold in colour.

Starlink is my best option, it’s only going to get better.

Tissue or my shirt. It’s that simple.

Well we already have QANon, so I guess your idea isn’t so far fetched after all.

Please allow order from Australia.

I moved from Pixel/GrapheneOS to iPhone 13 mini. Would go Pixel in a heartbeat if I could get the size of iPhone mini.
