Oh, you also work with my chatty manager?

I've been using Moshidon. One day I'll find an app as good as Ivory on iOS, but in the meantime Moshidon is fine.

"There's something in the air" bellows a grinning TIm Apple, before letting rip an almighty clothbuster.

I have a Brother printer at work that's old enough that I don't have a single thumb drive small enough to work with it. Haven't tried in a while, but iirc it tops out at 8gb and the smallest I have is 32gb.

But it works fine over the network, so I'll just carry on ignoring the firmware update it's been begging me to install for two years.

Safari + AdBlock + Vinegar makes for a great YouTube experience.

That said, Freetube on my Pixel is wonderful.

I had my 13 mini for two years, and in that time I never once felt like the battery was on the way out. At worst it would be around 20% when I went to bed.

I had a 13 mini until a month ago. It's one hell of a phone, and honestly, I'd still be using it if iPhones didn't keep their value so well and Apple weren't such a shit company.

I re-glued the rubber pad on the side of my mouse the other day. It's been wonderful not having to continually reposition it because the glue had broken down to the point that it slid about.

Hands down, Ron Swanson from Parks & Recreation.

He's a libertarian who firmly believes in his right to self-determination, but doesn't force that view on those around him; he lets them live their own lives and is there to help them whenever they may need. I do somewhat envy his ability to ignore the meaningless bullshit around modern life, how he paddles his own canoe and strives not to be in anyone's way.

But most importantly, he's fond of pretty, dark haired women, and breakfast food, and who can argue with that?

When I was assessed for (and diagnosed with) ADHD when I was 39, 5 years ago, I asked the psych whether my obesity was perhaps linked to it. He replied that, "no, probably not. Most of the people I see are thin".

This had the double whammy of making me doubt my diagnosis and consider that I'm just an irredeemable fat cunt.

Which was nice.

Born in 80, so a similar vintage to you; and yeah, we have connections and information now, but I feel like we should have stopped some time around 05, before smartphones really took hold.

I'm absolutely willing to accept that I'm wearing the highest grade rose tinted goggles, but not having to do everything online certainly felt better than whatever all this is. gestures broadly

I remember what it was like before I could stave off boredom at any time, but even then I don't think the convenience outweighs the problems. Though in fairness it's not really the phones, but the companies who make billions from us using them. But those companies had nowhere near the same amount of power, and I can't help thinking that was a good thing.
