Awww, Lenny! I hope his third-eldest, Larissa is doing ok.

Agreed! My trusty little M1 air has been my absolute favorite computer I’ve ever owned. It’s just so darned capable and entirely silent. It does everything I need it to do and then some. I’ll upgrade sometime, but for now long live the wedge!

One thing I’ll say about the old model was that out of all the dating apps, Bumble was the only one where every woman who I met or even just messaged with could hold a conversation. That one requirement of them reaching out first set the bar, and I knew they were making the choice to speak to me out of all the other guys they were drowning in. I ended up with more dates through Bumble than any other app, and even made great friends with some people I didn’t romantically click with. Online dating is awful, or was for me, but Bumble was the least awful one of the bunch. The new model sounds not so great.

I did not! Thank you!

Which qualities would you like to improve?

I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.

• Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options

• Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity

• Solid Explorer to do file system stuff

Built in stuff:

• Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed

• Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule

• Flip to Shhh is great for… shushing. When flipped.

• Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I’m actively awaiting interaction.

• Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.

Bookmarked!

Haaaaha, I thought you were goofin’ so I joined in 🙃

Make sure you have Octa set up right so you can log in with your organization’s team space in Jira using two factor. That way when you set permissions to users and groups with the local Steam lobby your leaderboard doesn’t get mixed up and you end up back in Confluence’s Bronze league. Diamond subscribers can set their own epics with access to special story point loot boxes, but you have to watch for them on the Steam sale page. It’s pretty simple, just read the process docs in Fandom.

Ooooh nice - that idea will definitely make it into the Starfinder campaign I’m gonna run

The same fellow wrote the Wired article, btw!

implied Anakin & Padme meme 😆

Yeah, that was my experience as well as a Pixel user. That said, it didn’t take too long to just finally switch to Firefox, Nova launcher, and Duck Duck Go. Mostly painless, and I’m over 40 👴

Casmael’s Razor. Has a nice ring to it!
