Use a general e-mail app like Thunderbird and never deal with this shit again.

Welcome to the year 13.7 billion!

But it would probably be the most interesting to future archeologists. At least all the noncommercial videos people make about their lives. The “you” part of YouTube.

Cats have beans, duh.

Found on Lemmy.

But also, Trump and Musk have a much larger following in the western world. And they spout so much idiotic shit that it’s hard to believe anyone would actually like them. So it’s more fun to dunk on them because your goal isn’t to insult them but their followers.

Putin has always been an asshole dictator and everyone always knew him to be an asshole dictator. Hardly anybody likes him in the western world. And if people do like him it’s easier to understand because he doesn’t show the idiocy we’ve come to expect from Trump.

I wanted to reinstall my Gentoo system. A SUSE (back before OpenSUSE) disc was the newest distro I had lying around. I thought it shouldn’t matter from which system I do the install, Gentoo won’t care.

So I repartitioned /dev/hda, installed the base system and went to set up my mount points. Only to discover that my data drive was gone. Stupid SUSE labeled the drives differently. /dev/hdb was my old system drive and I had repartitioned my old data drive.

Taught me to really check which drive was which. I wouldn’t touch SUSE again for decades because of this.

Well, by now the Supreme Court has been supplanted and intent to overthrow democracy has been shown. That’s a big difference to last time. So it’s not exactly the same situation.

But we’ll see how robust American democracy is.

Around that time we had the Nokia N900. For me it was the perfect phone. Debian as a base with Nokia’s (unfortunately proprietary) apps on top of X11. You could just recompile Linux apps like Gimp and it worked. Apps that were made for Palm’s WebOS worked.

Pidgin’s libpurple was used for all the instant messaging so just about any protocol just worked without any need for extra apps. You could easily hack the underlying system. People added functionality like using the light sensor as a button. Angry Bird’s first release was on that phone.

I miss it dearly. It was killed by Microsoft. Nothing ever managed to come close. That little 128 MB RAM machine had better multitasking than modern 8 GB phones.

I put off the switch so long because I didn’t know what udev was but I understood that it was important.

XcQ, no thank you!

Not to be confused with the Pussy Examination at the vet next door.

And indestructible Nokia phones!

Doesn’t Pop!OS do that already?

The first one that came to mind was fli4l (Floppy ISDN for Linux). Originally a distro of German origin that fit on a single floppy disk to turn a 386 or 486 PC into a router for ISDN connections. Last I looked it’s still actively worked on.

There are probably tons of more obsuce ones. But this is one I actually used.

Only the shell survives. It seems to be intact but it’s full of shit.

Take frozen fish sticks out of the packaging and fry for 5-7 minutes from all sides.

I see “your age” similar to the dating pool. It grows the older you get. When I was young my brother and his friends were incredibly old. But nowadays they are “my age”. I mean, my wife was literally born four days after my brother. That alone increased “my age”.

And when I look at the other parents I meet at my kid’s schools “my age” is an even bigger group. Add hobbies to that and it’s off the chart.

Nextcloud as the server and DAVx⁵ with Fossify Calendar as the client on my phone. On my laptop Kontact, but I haven’t looked at that in ages, so it could be in shambles for all I know. I think I’ve also used Thunderbird with some plugin.

And my Fritzbox router uses CardDAV to populate the phonebook of all connected phones.

Guess I was always using the right combination of apps. Never had any problems with CalDAV and CardDAV. Except for frustration at outright missing support.
