I uninstalled that crap years ago in favor of Key Messaging. Has an awesome keyword filter and spam blacklist.

Yes exactly, so that’s why I need an SMS app that’s filtering all the spam out and is as least intrusive as possible. I only want my 2FA messages to go through, nothing else.

Nope, but I don’t care about that.

Shrooms and Acid aren’t part of the fun ones?

viking,

Right, I’ve never touched any prescription crap, and probably never will unless I’m getting a serious injury or some shit.

But sounds like I’m missing out on the fun end of things… Need to do some research ;-)

Right, that’s on my to do list as well, but the whole experience around it doesn’t sound like too much fun, honestly.

There are some organized workshops though, usually 2-3 days and involving some “cleansing” exercises, fasting, and whatnot.

Tesla Lays Off Entire Team Behind Brakes (www.theonion.com)

AUSTIN, TX—In the latest round of layoffs for the company’s struggling automotive division, electric vehicle manufacturer Tesla fired the entire team behind brakes, sources confirmed Wednesday. “As we continue to rightsize the Tesla workforce, we have come to the decision that stopping the car is no longer a critical...

I’d have believed it. Wouldn’t put it past him to fire everyone and then hire a handful juniors to fix it.

Connect it for what purpose? Audio only? I’ve bought a Bluetooth to Aux-In adapter, it’s a tiny USB dongle that pairs with your phone, and sends audio to the line-in port of the car radio (if you have one).

Something like this: www.amazon.com/…/B081GGB53R/

Edit: My car doesn’t support Bluetooth out of the box, hence this workaround.

Ice cold coconut water is my drink of choice as well. No ice cubes, just straight from the fridge (ideally still within the coconut if accessible for you), else a bottled 100% one without additives.

Other juices don’t really interest me, they are all too damn sweet.

That specimen would be called a cinnamon bread. Or loaf, if you wish.

It’s the only psychologist who has a name known to the bulk of laymen, so he’s quoted for the sake of sounding educated. And more often than not, entirely misquoted to produce a “credible” argument.

Can’t safely fly due to a nut allergy? Excuse me, but what? Those peanuts they serve during the flight are optional…

viking,

But people can eat nuts everywhere in public, on the subway, in class, at work etc., does that mean she spends her life in locked up at home? And nothing that can be solved by wearing masks? I’ve been flying quite a bit during covid and was wearing N95 and even N99 masks once (regular ones were sold out), and while not the most comfortable experience, it’s certainly possible to get through the day.

Whether that’s a good deal or not is easy to check with used car platforms and dealerships in your area, that can vary by state and even city.

On the question whether you can afford it or not it’s getting a bit tricky.

Do you want to buy cash? You can afford it, assuming your net worth is liquid (i.e. not invested in assets you can’t easily sell, or in pension funds and whatnot you can’t withdraw from). Whether you should spend almost all your money on the car when you’re about to move out soon is another question.

Do you want to finance it? Then we’d need a more detailed budget, including future rent and expenses when you no longer live with your parents, plus the anticipated loan installment for the car. As of today I’m sure you can finance the car regardless, but if you live in an area with sky high rents, that may change drastically. Half a year isn’t all that far away.

Edit: Must have overlooked the part that you want to pay cash. Then really have a look at future expenses once you start to pay rent, and consider everything it takes to furnish a new place. Car loans are usually cheaper than random cash loans since you can collateralize a car, but not random furniture. I guess the smart way would be to finance about half to leave you some wiggle room.

Water under the bridge. There’s no point in telling, all you’d do is hurt her yet again, and potentially jeopardize everything.

Nothing happened after all, so put it down as a near miss and make sure that’s not happening again in the future. If you can’t handle alcohol, leave it be.

If you mean real time chat, then there are a bunch of matrix rooms or discord servers, depending on how corporate-friendly your mindset is.

Do others feel somewhat conflicted talking positively about commercial goods/services?

Sometimes I feel like if I do so I’m basically serving as an ad, and I don’t really care for that, especially if later I find that the business was scummy in some ways (which is often the case, especially later as it changes leadership/ownership)....

viking,
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Almost everything is commercial, one way or another. If I’m happy about something that I bought or subscribed to, I don’t mind sharing my excitement with others.

Eat thy neighbor. Especially the free range organic ones, vegans beware!

Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

I’m sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I’m sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I’m sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it’s been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one...

I’m still using Swype & Dragon, and it’s as awesome as it was 12 years ago.

Apparently it’s not working with Android versions >12 anymore, so I’ll ride this phone until it dies on me.

My server is called Mars, and the two clients I have are Phobos and Deimos (the moons of Mars). I though that’s a good fit.

I have yet to see a single Threads post in my timeline, or a comment from anyone. And I deliberately chose an instance that does not defederate from anyone.

Very strange. We’re talking about the official F-Droid, 1.19.1?
