Abuse is terrible, but if it’s going to happen it couldn’t happen to a more deserving cunt than this guy.

That would be telephony, which I didn’t know was even a word until I was in my 30s.

This is how I imagine Jorg Ancrath

On the plus side, Mr. Mime will be able to spend more time with Ash’s mom.
One good latex pillow for me.
Another interesting contributing factor are safety regulations and their knock-on effects, which weren’t immediately obvious when they were implemented.
For instance, in an effort to reduce pedestrian fatalities from frontal collisions, vehicles in the US were mandated to have at least three inches of crumple space between the hood of the car and the engine block. The thinking being that more crumple depth would help prevent fatalities and serious injuries that occurred when a pedestrian hit the hood of the vehicle, which would deflect, allowing those soft human bits to continue right into the (not soft at all) engine block.
Well increasing the height of the hood of the vehicle meant that they had to raise the A-pillar, which raised the height of the window opening on the doors, since the bottom of the side windows generally lines up with the hood on passenger vehicles. This meant that the side body panels of the vehicle just generally increased in size, and in an effort to maintain a proportional look, the wheels also had to increase in size otherwise they would look weirdly small. And to maintain a comparable amount of visibility out the windshield and side windows, the roof of the vehicle had to be raised to compensate for the new position of the window sill in the doors.
So something that was intended to just add an inch or two of height to the hoods of existing passenger vehicles to satisfy a safety need, ended scaling up the entire vehicle.
I love Syncthing but that initial setup can be a pain. Sometimes you need something quick for a one-off transfer.
I was hoping this would fill that hole, but this still requires a decent amount of setup. Warpinator is still king in this case imo.
Oh yep, my bad. Didn’t see the iOS stipulation initially.
The key is focus your time and effort on the ones that are really important to you, and be able to adapt to changes. This way you can make the switch to a less abusive product / platform / tool / whatever it is more easily when it inevitably goes to shit.
This is the user-side responsibility of interoperability.
I’ve been really enjoying the latest Thunderbird.
I tried the F(x)tec Pro1x earlier this year in the hopes that it would unlock some writing productivity for me with its built-in keyboard. I managed to get one really cheap, but it (like many other “exotic” phones) had so many cellular network connectivity issues that I gave up. I now have a Samsung Galaxy A54 with GoogleFi. The typing experience sucks but at least I can make / receive calls…
This post really shows how old I am, because I immediately thought “does anyone actually compose on a mobile device?” The experience is so bad I limit my own mobile compositions to message responses like “k” and “lol”.
I wrote this comment on my phone and it was an awful experience 🙃. But hey, at least my keyboard app suggested a silly emoji…
I’ll continue to do my “real” writing on my desktop for now. Integration apps like KDEConnect have been enough for me to get by, but they aren’t perfect either.
It’s the only movie my kid watches. I’ve seen it maybe 30 times. It’s great Broadway-esque sound track is the only reason I’m not a raving lunatic right now.
We tried branching out and introducing some variety. Barely made it through Coco before we had to go back to Encanto…
