Would ppl from Northern Germany say that was 6? That would be my way of calculating 3 quarter 8 :)

I agree! :D I don’t want to be overly negative, there were some lovely places in Lisbon. We stayed in Picoas, a beautiful area. A visit to Belem was also very nice, a lovely (but seemingly affluent) neighborhood. Well worth the trip - for anyone reading and feeling down on Lisbon after reading this thread :)

For my case, I already cut up my tasks finely. I just need LogSeq to add a confetti animation once I mark a task as Done.

I preferred Porto over Lisbon: more laid back, beautiful old city, friendly people, some of which I kinda missed in Lisbon.

I don’t miss the staircase next to that Eiffel bridge though, that was brutal. 2 years on and my body still remembers the exhaustion.

So close.

Danish department dumps digital dinosaur.

The best time to quit was 10 years ago. The second-best time is now.

they might just kill windows.

One might start thinking it’s intentional indeed. I imagine Azure is their new cash cow, and perhaps MS is pivoting.

I hear that a lot, but as a regular train commuter, I have very few complaints.

Lol! Rail servives in my little shitstain country of Belgium get 3.2B € a year.

I saw that book pass by on the Daily Show:

Patrick McGee - Apple In China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company

Or that person in the white T between the girl in red and the girl in pink. Not only does his face look strange, but his right leg is gone even while appearing to be walking.

That strategy does not require military grade equipment. DENIED!

They all just want to be good boys for Daddy.

Amazing! :o

The karma system increases engagement, which entices shareholders, resulting in an increase of share price.

I don’t. Some of the reasons: I have way too many hobbies so my free time is precious, too many people on this planet already, raising a child costs 250K, we live too far away from our parents for any free babysitting, the current society is not one I want my child to grow up in, …

Ahhh I hadn’t considered that. It’s a good reason to switch.

What’s the issue to switch to dumb phones? Tracking SIM cards? Cookie and other web tracking by big tech? The smart phone as a spying device? Can’t be SIM tracking, as dumb phones would have that issue too. I guess the latter is easily resolved by using GrapheneOS, and I imagine the second one by a having good privacy setup. Any other reasons?

I’m just wondering, as I was imagining switching to a dumb phone. I wouldn’t be opposed, and I don’t think I’d miss much, mainly email and lemmy. However, I would love to no longer have an easy map at hand, and actually having to look for places, and asking for directions. As for a weather app… I could just ask for the weather forecast when I’m asking for directions ;)
