I could be wrong, but I imagine the number of people who need internet access for Maps and WhatsApp but NOT a web-browser would be pretty small. That said, I could possibly recommend the Nokia 2720 flip, which I've been using it as a s

Interesting. Do you have any sources that say the battery is a fire hazard if plugged in 24/7?

Been a while since I've used Windows as a daily driver but I used to use SumatraPDF for basic PDF operations. Small, lightweight, open-source. Looks like it'd still be useful today? https://www.sumatrapdfreader.org&#x2F

I grew up using Windows, but have been using macOS and linux primarily for the last 10 years or so. I have a similar "handicapped" feeling when I go back to Windows. I guess it's just what I'm used to?

I've been using macOS professionally for years, but I still find the application/window management system really strange and clumsy. Quite often, closing the last window of an application doesn't entirely quit the application

Cool game! One thing I found a little jarring was the popup that appears when you complete a puzzle. I feel like when completing a puzzle it'd be nice to see the finished result, at least for a short amount of time, before seeing the p

I just started reading the book Lost Focus by Johaan Hari. It's a well-written deep dive on how we as a society have all lost the ability to concentrate on one thing for any good length of time. I'm only a few chapters in, but i

What is this "personality profile" you're talking about, and what are these "other issues"?

What's a methylation profile? I tried reading the link but it seemed quite technical.

Yeah it does take some effort to install linux and get everything running, especially since you've got your Windows setup working well enough without all the bullshit. I guess if it ain't broke, no need to fix it. But as you and

Same here! I'd put the game disc into a CD player and listen to it quite often.

In Melbourne, quite often there are 4 lane roads (2 lanes in each direction) with tramlines in the inner two lanes going in each direction. At the tram stops, passengers need to walk across the outer lane to get to/from the sidewalk, s

MDMA and the party/festival scene in general definitely changed me for the better in this sense. I hold those experiences in high regard, and strongly believe that substances can shift your perspective and create real change in your li

Speaking from personal experience: I felt very socially awkward in late primary school and high school. I was really afraid of being a stereotypical "nerd", which I clearly was (glasses, braces, good at class). I went to an all bo

by barbs 5y ago
Sorry, no. MDMA is not the same as meth. The molecules are similar, sure, but they are different substances with different effects. Trying to equate the two is pretty disingenuous.

Out of curiosity, what games do you play? Would wine and/or a virtual machine suffice?

Same here! I primarily use linux and MacOS and have bound caps lock to escape for both of them. I rarely miss caps lock, it's better to keep your voice down online anyway ;)

Nice one! Although when I started reading your comment I was sort-of hoping you found a way to hack it and put your own songs in!

I wrote a script similar to Julia's and other people's here to score tickets to a sold out music festival. At the time, people were posting on the event page that they had tickets to sell, but they were scooped up very quickly. It
