I’ve never understood buying a car on credit. My car’s 17 years old now. Bought it when it was 8 years old. Insurance is €390/yr.

Hopefully no different from life now.

The cookie options on that site are fucked up.

Steam Deck + noise cancelling headphones.

I haven’t worked out the sleeping part yet, but will be scouring the comments here for ideas.

The notification piping intrigues me. Maybe I’ll give it another go on my next device.

Definitely the Okama Gamesphere.

Could be for devs? China’s long term goal is to wean itself off western software and hardware.

Moving to Ireland. Better than the UK in almost every way.

I thought Fairphone would solve this for me, but the thing is too damn chonky.

I’d love to do this, but I used LinkedIn to find my current job, & I’ll probably need it to find the next one (when the time comes).

I keep it up to date, like a kind of running CV, but otherwise I don’t interact with it.

Nice. I think I do most of these. Have you looked into CalyxOS & GrapheneOS as alternative Android substitutes?

Pubert

Hangs down, the best email client for IMAP.

Same boat. Stuck with my Pixel 5 for now.

No, but I was considering switching back to having one. I had an iPhone + Linux laptop combination for a while, which makes getting your music on your phone impossible. Now I’ve switched to a phone with CalyxOS, getting my FLAC & mp3 files on my phone is doable again, so I might not go the route of getting a dedicated mp3 player.

Cryfs. I sync the directories with syncthing.
