@lobau It is a bit sluggish and I don't carry it all the time. I bought it when it was a little cheaper. It was absolutely painless to set up.

@adele

@Sophistifunk The Mooninites?

@lobau Librem 5 by Purism fits that description. I have one and it works pretty well.

@DMakarios I listen to a lot of audio books and thought that was pretty good. You were quite clear. There were a couple of times where you spoke a little quickly and it was hard to understand. I didn't catch what the whisper said. I think having pauses in the narration, at appropriate moments, helps the listener to visualize and be immersed in the scene. You have such great descriptive powers! You should let the listeners soak it all in.🙂

I seems weird that the time between now and the release of the movie Elf is greater than the time between Elf and A Christmas Story.

@killyourfm I honestly think Microsoft wants that and wants to distance itself from the operating system business. Why else would they be so hostile to users? They’re trying to make what profits they can, but know Linux and other OS’s are good enough. There is no insanely profitable future for them in that space, and the longer they hang out there, the higher the opportunity cost.

@mdione I’ve just discovered Nextcloud and like it, but run XMPP and IRC too. I like XMPP because I prefer protocols, but none of the clients work perfectly between each other. Nextcloud uses XMPP for chat I think and has been pretty seamless. IRC is simple and you could host a ton of people on a potato, but it’s unencrypted by default and you have to be online to get a message.

@YoSoyFreeman Being a Christian, I’ve often thought about when Jesus wept at his friend Lazarus’ funeral. He, who held power over death and was about to resurrect the man, still wept for his friend. We cannot change our nature and who we are. You are human and none of us really understand the depths of being human. Grief and emotion are not wrong or weakness, they bring us together. I’m grieving with you. I think we can agree that there is something broken in the world.

@MisterRogersSnapped I have the M5 Paper, that looks pretty cool for $30.

@adele We have an annual tradition of making the “Den of First Frost” in the living room and camping out. We buy a new blanket each time and add it to the stack, so we basically have a mattress now🤣This was about 5 years ago.

We had a wonderful Friendsgiving last night and @mary made a word scramble in Libreoffice. I didn’t get #5 right…

@cmconseils It really is amazing. I have a few (not 1TB) for emergency backups of personal stuff. It’s easy to put a whole OS on something the size of your pinky nail. These holders are pretty much indestructible in normal day to day life. Also contact lens cases work well and are cheap.

@AnungIkwe I still just imagine Sandra Bullock explaining pronouns to the Demolition Man as he looks at her incredulously.

If you like finding buried treasure, surveying might be for you. Thank God for metal detectors!

I think you better listen to what Danny has to say...
