Ok, let me try. I’ll start with the first phrase:

Gboard: Religion is such a great thing to do with it but I don’t think it will be a good day for you guys to come over and watch the first episode of the office does Jim and I are you doing today I left the house today and the next day or so I can get the room for the next day or so I can get the room for the next…awwwww

I never talk about the office lol

Here’s with Kubo keyboard: Religion is such a great thing that I think it is a good thing that I think it is a good thing that… Boo

In Becky Chambers’ Wayfarer series, there is a species who actually breathes methane. The focus though is less on how that actually happens and more on how they navigate as the only species for whom oxygen is toxic. It’s a great series, btw. It’s a not-quite-as-optimistic as star trek future, but still optimistic and with a vast range of species who are all intermingling as learning how to get along.

Not always, it was an octothorpe before phones

Very accurate. But don’t worry, there are worse places along the way!

Proton and its services have been pretty good. Some things to know about proton mail:

• Search is only for titles, as content is encrypted
• You can do search in the body in your browser. It downloads your email into the browser and searchers locally. It takes a while to do this and build up indexes. I haven’t had too much issue searching for things though.
• Since they don’t read your email, no automatic calendar events if there isn’t a .ics

The VPN had been great

The storage isn’t enough for me to be able to move off of my main cloud provider. There also isn’t a way to pin a file on Android for it - and the 500gGB of space is less than I use

The Pass app is handy and it’s easy to make aliases, though it often doesn’t know to fill in, doesn’t do it, or something, and I need to open the app to copy paste. Pretty trivial though.

I’m sticking with them. I don’t really have a reason to leave. The aliases are really nice, the catch is that it’s not easy to have them go to a sub email address that I use - it has to go to your primary email. Not a huge deal though.

I recently was talking with someone in south America about things in the US, most of which they hated, then when I got to “yeah, a lot of people sell plasma to help get through school” they were like “WTF! I hate your country! Here we do it as a donation! And you do it to help get through school!?” 😂

Tl;dr - fediverse probably won’t do too much, and it does have discoverability issues, along with migration issues

I was curious, here’s the driving route on GMaps

Somebody must be having a bad day… Cause I kinda feel that way

You know, it might not be a bad idea, because once regular people realize agriculture is exempt from minimum pay laws and OSHA, they might demand change

I’ve saved this post. I need this.

Renewable biomass: burning forests before you turn them to coal

and also in the article

Being a late bloomer, I did briefly attain wizardry, but decided to trade in the powers shortly after. They were very overrated.

Think woodlice 6 feet long, spiders the size of dogs, millipedes as big as cars, and dragonflies as big as eagles.

No, I don’t think I will

If you asked me to pick a state for that, Oregon would not have been it

While they likely do have the capability of doing that eventually, there are only two places in the world that have the capability of doing the super small nm scale chips: Netherlands and Taiwan. These machines are insanely complicated and precise. I wouldn’t be surprised if China was a decade or more away from doing it themselves. I could be wrong, but this scale of chips is an entirely different monster.

Now, they could be closer, but this particular job isn’t that simple.

I’ve usually got it collapsed on the side, so it’s fine. But yeah, it’s mobile first. I just found it early on and there wasn’t much else available. I just haven’t switched bc it hasn’t stopped me from doing the basic things

I’m using Sync for lemmy. I used it for reddit before.

On browser I use Voyager. It can be a bit confusing, but it’s finr

You know there’s a bit of irony here, b/c I’ve had essentially both of these conversations with my parents, meaning, they strongly opposed ending the embargo if you bring it up, but simultaneously not realize there was an embargo.

They’d say things like, “Why won’t the Cuban government allow the imports of things they need? Why won’t the Cuban government allow American tourists?” and then I’d tell them that’s not Cuba, that’s the US.

But they support an embargo while not really seeming to know what it’s doing and probably because they’re boomers so communism = evil and therefore if there’s bad thing for Cuba, then they support that.

The conversations get really strange really fast. My parents tend to get very ideological and often contradict themselves within a 5 minute span and I’m just staring at them like, really?
