  • I've been using Moshidon. One day I'll find an app as good as Ivory on iOS, but in the meantime Moshidon is fine.

  • If I can shoot rabbits Then I can shoot fascists

  • "There's something in the air" bellows a grinning TIm Apple, before letting rip an almighty clothbuster.

  • I have a Brother printer at work that's old enough that I don't have a single thumb drive small enough to work with it. Haven't tried in a while, but iirc it tops out at 8gb and the smallest I have is 32gb.

    But it works fine over the network, so I'll just carry on ignoring the firmware update it's been begging me to install for two years.

  • Safari + AdBlock + Vinegar makes for a great YouTube experience.

    That said, Freetube on my Pixel is wonderful.

  • I had my 13 mini for two years, and in that time I never once felt like the battery was on the way out. At worst it would be around 20% when I went to bed.

  • I had a 13 mini until a month ago. It's one hell of a phone, and honestly, I'd still be using it if iPhones didn't keep their value so well and Apple weren't such a shit company.

  • I don't necessarily think it's underrated because it's the underpinning of a major religion, but;

    Existence is suffering.

    The first noble truth of Buddhism that I don't think enough people really grasp.

    On first read, those three words sound like an angsty teen being all sad, but a deeper exploration tells us that to expect a life of ease and unending contentment is to set ourselves up for continued disappointment and anguish.

    When I first really absorbed the meaning of this it actually made me feel incredible. I am alive, therefore my knee hurts. I am alive, so I'm worried for the welfare of those I love. And when I considered it even further I began to understand that this is something that connects us all, regardless of our status in the world. From the most powerful kings and presidents to those sleeping rough begging for change; we are all fundamentally the same.

    For me, it's really helped me to push through boundaries that have stopped me being more assertive with those who are more powerful than I am; managers, bosses and such. My boss worries about stuff the same way I do. It's probably different stuff, sure, but he's still experiencing existential pain.

    I am not a Buddhist, nor am I particularly spiritual. But I take a lot of inspiration from that phrase.

  • I say "That'll do pig" almost daily. It's basically a tic for me at this point.

  • As someone who lives slightly north of the island in the middle of the south coast of this particular garbage patch; yes.

  • Hands down, Ron Swanson from Parks & Recreation.

    He's a libertarian who firmly believes in his right to self-determination, but doesn't force that view on those around him; he lets them live their own lives and is there to help them whenever they may need. I do somewhat envy his ability to ignore the meaningless bullshit around modern life, how he paddles his own canoe and strives not to be in anyone's way.

    But most importantly, he's fond of pretty, dark haired women, and breakfast food, and who can argue with that?

  • I didn't.

    I must admit, I don't really know how it all works and am mostly just blindly picking my way through, appreciating what works at this moment in time.

  • Marilyn Manson's 'Antichrist Superstar' had 99 tracks. That confused the fuck out of me when I first put it in my player.

  • I recently discovered Nicotine+. My iPod mini has never been happier.

  • Yeah. My bank is one of the few UK banks whose app won't work with Graphene, which is irritating. Also, the lack of Wallet access for payment cards is annoying.

    But all in all everything else works fine.

  • Them treads are fresh.
