It's also why I no longer buy it. It's a PITA to eat.

Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I'm on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).

She didn't "pledge" to, but she didn't seem adverse to the idea if it was the right person.

Not so effective against the likes of YouTube allegedly.

They offered it to me. I've not been on reddit since the API issue kicked off.

Upvote for "Cautionary Tales". Just discovered that and loving it.

This is what puts me off.

Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

A phone costing me four digits with that high a return rate. Nope.

That would have been Slackware, which in those days came on a stack of 3.5" floppy disks. So early 90's (and hence I was in my mid-30s) but I was still mainly using Windows 3.1 and Trumpet Winsock to connect to the Internet.

I think the first time I really took it seriously was in the mid 90's with Debian, a copy of which was posted to me, on CD-ROM I think, by Ian Murdock himself (back in the days when he was still with Debra 😏).

BTW there's now an OSM community !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

We update it a lot. We also have a product (for walkers in the British Isles) called WayMaps (used by a variety of walking web sites in the UK and also our own demo site https://waymaps.the-hug.net/) which uses the geodata from OSM and other Open Data to produce our own map tiles. We love OSM.

I was paying US$3.95 a month if I remember rightly but I think it's now US$5.95.
