I miss watching the little moon spin with the shooting stars of Netscape Navigator. It's weirdly the most nostalgic thing for me. Maybe because my first full memory ever is the library computers and learning how to use Netscape in first grade. It's the first time I started really retaining information fully, aside from snippets of Oregon Trail for the Commodore 64 in my kindergarten class.

Oh, this is interesting. I'm not the most advanced OSM user, but I'll definitely take a look at this and learn.

I love this app, found it a bit ago on F-Droid. I'm moving to a very rural town up north and there's nearly nothing done there. Very excited to get up there and start working on it.

Krull is one that stays in all my libraries. It's so obscure yet has names like Liam Neeson, Robbie Coltrane, and David Battley. It was my dad's favorite movie.

Yup, I agree 100%. I usually go with a slim case because I follow a few self-imposed rules.

  • Phone does not leave pocket when drinking or around people who are drinking.
  • I don't need to take my phone out if I'm visiting friends or family.
  • I immediately pocket my phone if I'm moving, even just around the apartment.

I've not dropped my phone once since owning my first 12 years ago. I do not care what it's made of.

Too late. Still not enough to keep me from going back to Linux. Especially now that I'm all excited to try NixOS with Hyprland. This was your last mistake, Microsoft. 🫤

I ran into one called SimpleX recently. No accounts or anything and you can host your own chat instance. Downside: The app either needs a constant spot in your notifications or will otherwise only check for messages every ten minutes.

The desktop app is pretty rough to use, as well.

Kind of bs, seeing as how I use my friend's account (with permission) to access the free Udemy courses that his career provides him and I've never seen this. Figures they'd nail legitimate users and completely miss people who abuse the system. Typical Microsoft.

Hope an alternative comes someday; I've always disliked LinkedIn.

Three. Depending on where you are in the U.S., a toilet is also a "can". It's more of a slang meaning, but if you ever hear an American saying they're "going to go hit the can," it means they're going to use the bathroom.

I thought about this a few times at my last job, but unfortunately the job was solo work and if no one showed up, the whole contract would have been rescinded. My boss certainly abused my sense of responsibility, though.

That was a fun watch, lol! I should find one to set for my girlfriend. I had it set to the Daria theme song a long time ago. It's one of her favorite shows and she has a dry and jaded sense of humor to match it.

I had to in my case. I worked for a company that was contracted out and had an on site boss. So instead of something like management calling me from the work phone, it was always the boss that did it from her personal cell.

 

My last boss was labeled "THE FINAL BOSS" in my contacts. When she'd call, I felt sheer disappointment and dread when Sephiroth's theme, "One-Winged Angel" started playing.
