It’s a Linux phone on Debian that uses Android drivers, so all the normal functions (calls, SMS, etc.) work perfectly. Battery life is a full day.

I use a light theme because my astigmatism causes more blurriness on a dark themes.

I turned syntax highlighting off in vim like a decade ago. It was weird for a week and then I got used to it. Legit haven’t thought about syntax highlighting since.

It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.

Farmer’s market tomatoes. I went through my whole life thinking I hated tomatoes. Turns out, I hate grainy tomatoes that taste like nothing, and real tomatoes grown nearby and picked ripe are wonderful.

Costco sells real Canadian maple syrup at a fair price (cost plus a few percent).

No, you still need a phone number to sign up. You can now optionally have a username as well, but a phone number remains a hard requirement.

I just want to ride a bike without constant fear of death. LA is statistically one of the most dangerous cities to ride a bike. I don’t care if it’s far—10 miles of sunshine and exercise and not dealing with bumper to bumper traffic sounds great to me, if I’m likely to arrive with my skull still in tact.

Also the Tesla charging infrastructure!

Seemingly every video still includes sponsor segments. I use ublock origin with sponsorblock and actually see zero ads.

This doesn’t even make the top-10 list of evil shit Chiquita has done. Some examples:

Ya, they absolutely could/should. A good example today is how a judge is present in a trial to explain the process, law, what’s required for jurors. You could have a similar advisory body which provides recommendations based on their expertise.

Athens had sortition, which was interesting. Everyone participated in the government via a lottery and the average person’s issues would be likely (statistically speaking) to be focused on and addressed.

We still use it today to select jurors. But it was originally for everything. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortition

It’s been tried a few other times much later in history, but they always limited who could be chosen in the lottery (generally, only rich people). The original system which worked well selected among everyone.

Be aware that receipts (or any thermal paper) are toxic and leech through your skin. I’m not sure how they affect cats, but I certainly wouldn’t recommend holding them longer than you need to.

After seeing how JD “couch-fucker” Vance used the American military base in Greenland to threaten them, I wouldn’t want American troops or bases anywhere near my country.

Oh good, I’m glad we’re finding time for this as the global economy collapses.

24-678% uplift sounds incredible for CPU-bound games.

I like the idea of using a notebook and using my phone less. I’ll give it a shot.
