I think my mom still uses the last CRT TV that I had. Gave it to her when I bought my first 720p HD TV, as the old CRT was better than her old TV. Later on I also gave her that HD TV but she still has the CRT too.

Your first comment was right: no phone

They were all ancient ladies with curly grandma-fro hairdos at ours

Nextcloud has a Notes app too

In a non-Tesla car I’ve driven, there was an autopilot cruise control mode that just used cameras. In practice it only works out well if you’re driving long distance on a highway with low traffic. It’s still nice to have (much better than having no autopilot cruise mode) but I don’t trust it around multiple lanes of other cars doing unpredictable shit. Also quits working in the rain when the cameras are obscured.

My grandpa was kinda fat and he loved to wear overalls.

“9 out of 10 workers support the policy” he decided to imagine and then say out loud

Not if the app is coded properly to not include message content in the push notification. Signal uses google notifications only as a wakeup event to poll the (not google) server for the new message.

Google push notifications are available on GrapheneOS - just have to install Google Play Services. Their sandboxed version of google’s junk is nice because you can fully restrict permissions to it unlike stock Android.

Yeah a commentary video with a creator of a movie or show is real content related to the other content, not the same as a random person’s “look at me” video

It went from “don’t post pictures of yourself or your real name online because you might get strangers’ attention” to everyone trying to be their own version of a Max Headroom talking head to try to get the attention of all the strangers. Selfies, video selfies, talking head videos, reaction videos… all garbage.

You can also just leave the cap intact, and and just tie the end of the cord in a knot to keep the strings together. Just loop it around itself and poke the end through the loop and tighten it to make the knot sit near the end of the cord.

My experience has been that they last for more years than I tend to notice which ones are which. I’m not mad at all about their longevity.

I had 2 LED bulbs that I know for sure that I bought prior to 2015 that only recently failed. Those bulbs lasted at least 9-10 years. The rest of my bulbs I haven’t kept up with but those 2 older ones looked very distinctive with aluminum heatsink material for their bottom halves.

Cool, I didn’t know you could do that

I think the bomb threats in Ohio after the dumbass pet eating lies were spread is a preview.

Trumptards already saw their insurrection didn’t work and that prison is the consequence. Trump admitted that he lost the 2020 election and many of those cultists are mad about it. So I don’t think we will have a repeat of the Capitol attack, instead we may have some assorted terrorist threats and attacks. Hopefully if that does happen, it will further drive them into obscurity because normal people tend to not like terrorism.

Rudo’s tool sounds cool.

I’ve done those conversions by hand before, just deleting irrelevant Google junk out of the KML file to import it to OsmAnd~ because I planned my route on the desktop Google Earth app (3D is cool) and exported it to KML. After some edits it usually will import to OsmAnd on the phone

I didn’t have to pay for it, installed from F-Droid, and I can download any map I’ve tried so far. When I’m traveling I like to pre-download the standard map for the whole state if it’s one I don’t already have installed. It’s nice to not have to worry about data / reception.

Overall OsmAnd is a pretty good GPS-map-navigation app, but has several annoyances and bugs. Still better than using Google’s app to me. I need to check out Organic maps too

Weak AF

Be brave, be yourself.

Y’all have problems if you think about shooting people whenever there is an option to fire a projectile. This was an Onion article BTW.

If anybody thought this post was a serious question the answer is that people usually don’t want to shoot people.

Actually did some backyard archery practice with my son today. All we wanted to shoot was that bullseye on the foam target.

Yeah the wristband is some bullshit. When I was a kid and on the free lunch for poor kids program, all they needed was a fucking list at the checkout. I took my lunch tray to the checkout lunch-lady and said my name, and she’d check it on the list and we were done.
