Solarpunk by default because it is the one currently available mode of human thought that allows for being pro-technology while being anti-capitalist.

probablement pas. J'ai eu la même conversation au supermarché avec une caissière qui insistait pour que je passe par le comptoir automatique. J'ai essayé de lui faire comprendre que si tout le monde y allait il n'y avait plus besoin de caissier/re, mais peine perdue...

@ploum

no need to install, chrome is linux:

  1. On your Chromebook, at the bottom right, select the time.
  2. Select Settings Advanced. Developers.
  3. Next to "Linux development environment,” sefect Turn On.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions. Setup can take 10 minutes or more.
  5. A terminal window opens. You have a Debian 11 (Bullseye) environment.

That would enable me to get it in the hands of beta testers the quickest 🤔

I have a very small number of old white guy car friends, who are civilized enough to at least STFU (most seem at least marginally better-behaved than that, but we're talking low standard here). I make it a point to let them all know I'm gay/queer.

This is the sort of thing that crowd is passing around. Just FYI.

I take it as a nice temperature-taking from scenes-not-this-one. No one is happy with this shit.

A man calls Pizza hut to order a pizza...
CALLER: Is this Pizza Hut?
GOOGLE: No sir, it's Google Pizza.
CALLER: I must have dialed a wrong number, sorry.
GOOGLE: No sir, Google bought Pizza Hut last month.
CALLER: OK. I would like to order a pizza.
GOOGLE: Do you want your usual, sir?
CALLER: My usual? You know me?
GOOGLE: According to our caller ID data sheet, the last 12 times you called you ordered an extra-large pizza with three cheeses, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and meatballs on a thick crust.
CALLER: Super! That’s what I’ll have.
GOOGLE: May I suggest that this time you order a pizza with ricotta, arugula, sun-dried tomatoes and olives on a whole wheat gluten-free thin crust?
CALLER: What? I don’t want a vegetarian pizza!
GOOGLE: Your cholesterol is not good, sir.
CALLER: How the hell do you know that?
GOOGLE: Well, we cross-referenced your home phone number with your medical records. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
CALLER: Okay, but I do not want your rotten vegetarian pizza! I already take medication for my cholesterol.
GOOGLE: Excuse me sir, but you have not taken your medication regularly. According to our database, you purchased only a box of 30 cholesterol tablets once at Lloyds Pharmacy, 4 months ago.

No worries.
Yes, there is almost a sensual pleasure to map reading.
In my case it's mostly when I figure out where the boat is on the chart the old way and then it's confirmed by the GPS.
Pencil on chart beats gps trace every time 😉
Even more fun on Channel crossing when you can't see any land.
Thata said yes, gps navigation in a car is brilliant when you're looking for a specific street in an unknown town.

Just discovered a new alternative android clone:

FrankauLux, (edited )
@FrankauLux@mastodon.social avatar

@tomjennings @nafmo

actually there are more. I didn't mention them because (to me) they're old news:

  • LineageOS (the former CyanogenMod, which was very popular here 10 y ago)
  • PostMarketOS
  • PureOS (Librem)
  • Replicant
    They are in various stage of completion for various phones. I keep checking regularly, hoping my current phone will be supported :-).

I flashed a samsung years ago with cyanogen and it worked brilliantly until the mike died.

Just discovered https://droidify.eu.org/download
As you know, the https://fdroid.org market client allows you add any compatible repository, ie izzyOnDroid, KDE, etc to avoid multiplying "store/market" apps.

Droidify does the same, but
a) has a smaller memory print
b) has dozens of alternate repositories pre-programmed, just click to enable !!

Just made the switch 😃
