It’s a Linux phone on Debian that uses Android drivers, so all the normal functions (calls, SMS, etc.) work perfectly. Battery life is a full day.

If that isn’t the perfect metaphor for what Trump’s done to this government, I don’t know what is.

I use a light theme because my astigmatism causes more blurriness on a dark themes.

I turned syntax highlighting off in vim like a decade ago. It was weird for a week and then I got used to it. Legit haven’t thought about syntax highlighting since.

We can push for both things though.

That’s for Apple services specifically. If I build an iOS app, I can get geo coordinates.

That may be true for things like contacts, but here they have your location, and they use the network. Thus they could hoover that up and store it, even mapping everywhere you go over time in their DB.

Don’t apps self-report this stuff? You presumably need to make a DB query from their backend to see any reportings in a 5mi radius, so at minimum they have your GPS coordinates and IP address (which when combined would uniquely identify you)

I avoid meat/dairy to help the environment, prevent animal cruelty, and improve my health (specifically cholesterol).

I suspect lab-grown meat helps the environment and prevents animal cruelty, but it’s still really dangerous for me to eat, so I still wouldn’t touch it. Seems like a net positive for the world, though.

Man, Beyoncé really let herself go.

It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.

In Japan, in order to register your car you need to prove you have a sufficient parking spot for it (they literally send an inspector to measure the space), or you can drive a tiny Kei car. Maybe we could learn a thing from Japan here.

The show is asking for crowdfunding contributions here, so they can continue making episodes: https://www.thetinychefshow.com/fan-club-login-page

Farmer’s market tomatoes. I went through my whole life thinking I hated tomatoes. Turns out, I hate grainy tomatoes that taste like nothing, and real tomatoes grown nearby and picked ripe are wonderful.

Costco sells real Canadian maple syrup at a fair price (cost plus a few percent).

I would so much rather buy games from GOG but their Linux integration is just so much worse than Steam Big Picture, and I only play games using Linux from a couch with a controller.

Yes, it works, and I can and have done it for some titles, but it’s nowhere near ideal.

I’m 2 today.
