Recouping their money from the stock market, typical venture capitalist behavior.

pfft. ln -s new_library.4.4.7 old_library.4.2.8

all done!

Well you could code vi in it.

Happens all the time. Usually accompanied by installing an updated version at the same time. You can uninstall your kernel too, try it.

alias downloads=“cd ~/Downloads”

edit: but if you want to get freaky in bash, alias downloads=“pushd ~/Downloads”

probably works in some other shells too

I already moved back to a paper calendar in my diary, two years ago. my passwords go into firefox and also a paper contact book. recently google has started interfering with the firefox manager🥳 but mostly I have disabled it. I think it probably still captures keys but I dunno. chicken and egg - how can it ask to save the password if it didn’t sniff the firefox page?

Home is now a rasberry pi/steam deck/linux combo with still one comp running windows for games but turned off most of the time. I don’t take notes outside of sending to a group of myself in signal. I put all the android games on a cheap tablet and I am contemplating grapheneos for the phone, but for now using a window manager from fdroid, with cuts down on a lot of the google assistant fuckery.

overall, I am not sure. I think as long as I can use the fdroid apps, manager and clock, I am mostly ok. I leave the screen on and plugged in to keep google from killing the alarm clock, but I am keeping an eye out for a nice alarm clock in the future, which maybe chats to home assistant on the pi, because I do want accurate time.

The biggest use I make of my phone, and why I have had a pixel for so long, is taking pictures - to show what I do, how I take things apart, what I need to do, parts and serial numbers, hardware. buying/selling/banking.

The camera in my pocket and signal are my killer apps.

As long as I can turn off frickin google assistant, I will probably still use android, honestly. But I started making non-critical parts of my life not-android a while back. My utopia is a private device centered on me and my family, not a data pump for a corp.

google does not provide, even as well as a paper calendar.

Soluble vs. insoluble. But also fermenting vs. non-fermenting for both types. Psyllium husk powder is non-fermenting soluble fiber. Not drinking enough water with soluble fiber gives hard stools. But soluble fiber is “the good kind”. That super popular doctor recommended fiber-by-the-spoon is psyllium powder, all dressed up.
