It’s the Chinese way.

Obligatory eye-roll.

Do you use Arch by any chance?

PS. Two of my machines run Endeavour OS, the other MX XFCE ;-)

As @leetnewb says, nothing out of the extraordinary here. I think the issue is that it’s Boeing. It seems quite fashionable to find fault with them lately. Sometimes justifiably so. Maybe not in this case though unless we see multiple instances of the same model and fault.

Can’t see ‘The Art Of The Deal’ there ;-)

Good. Some people think they can leave lights and stuff on all day, because they have more money than sense.

Holy cow!

That’s even better than I thought. Even prouder of her now.

Thank you

I can remember when North Korea being a nuclear power was ‘fantasy’ and ‘it’ll never happen’. Despite all our sanctions, they’ve still managed to develop nukes. Thanks to Russia, China and Iran. And we day back and watched because we wanted that cheap oil and gas and the plastic tat from China.

Not bad - chuffed to bits that my daughter got a ‘First with honours’ in English and Creative Writing. No idea what that means* apart from it’s an excellent result.

*I left school at 15, before taking all my exams so that I could start work in a factory. So very proud of her ;-) Her substack is here

Tomorrow take my wife shopping for her birthday present, laundry, and then on Sunday, a quiet lunchtime drink with family.

EDIT: Also check if you legally can physically eliminate the drone in that case. It’s the most effective strategy.

Just tell the police you were clay pigeon shooting and the drone flew into your path.

I don’t see it mentioning 42 anywhere.

Especially when there are billionaires from your country. Not having a dig at India especially. We have a few in UK. One of them is married to our millionaire prime minister.

Debt repayments before wants?

Now they just need to shrink that into a phone and we’re good.

It may be the size of a wardrobe now, but remember this?

No. I’m jacked off with all the crap that comes from Lemmy and the sooner that Beehaw drops Lemmy the better. So many bots and trolls there. If you’re not a flag waving Hamas apologist you’re a Trumper. It’s a cesspit.

Free Ad Supported Television? So in other words commercial television.

Or just call it what it really is, an Ad Supported Service. ASS.

Like here for instance? They could always set up the phone to only allow set times on certain apps. However, of you can set a time limit, you can also unset a time limit. Not having the apps and games in front of you is the key thing.

You wouldn’t expect a smoker to walk about with fags and lighter in their pocket and not touch them, or an alcoholic with a half bottle of vodka in their bag, calling them all day.

We’ve been led into a world of ‘must have’ apps, blogs and an always online culture.

It’ll do us a power of good to step back from that. Beehaw, PieFed and Vivaldi Social are the only ones I keep now.

Spending a lot less time online and reading a hell of a lot more. And I feel better for it. Less stressed and more relaxed. I don’t have the peer pressure that young kids get though. Any that tells me I ‘must’ use a certain app can do one and they get a lecture on online security and conspiracy theories to go with it. They soon give up 😉

I never thought they couldn’t. Glass phones were an absolutely ridiculous idea.

In a word, no. They are focused on the Adobe name. A bit like Apple, lots of good alternatives but who wants to be seen with a ‘insert non fashionable name here’ phone. There was a time when Adobe was king, not anymore though.

Unlucky for some!
