Enjoy it. I'm so much more comfortable with myself in my forties than it was in, say, my twenties. I'm much happier being me.

Also - life isn't over. I've been surprised at the prevailing ageism that seems too suggest that there's no point taking up any new hobbies or learning anything because you're just too old now for there to be a point. This is nonsense. You've very likely got as many decades in front of you as behind you - maybe more.

Also: use sunscreen.

The hardware being very poor was the killer for me. Unless they improve starter specs or allow you to upgrade hardware I won't ever buy another one.

I answered above replying to another post.

Low end hardware made the user experience frustrating and the overall performance was poor. It's annoying because the concept is good, but a phone that's supposed to be your "long term phone" shouldn't be painful to use after only months. It's certainly very repairable - or seemed to be. I didn't actually have to ever repair mine, but if I'm going to deliberately have a phone for a long time then I need it to stay off with specs that mean it'll still perform after three or four years.

It depends. Do either of them connect to the internet, or can they just be managed by a local server running open source software. If they can then the robot, otherwise neither.

Unless you're happy with a very mediocre phone - please don't. I very much applaud the idea behind fairphone, but the years I had my fairphone 3 were full of frustration.

As a native English speaker who'd never heard of this word - TIL x2

It depends on the song. Many of their songs are Icelandic and a few are even in English.

I really like the French national anthem.

I realised after posting that it's actually the rp3+, but I love it. It's really versatile in terms of gaming and will play lots of games.

Good for him and his twins, but it's a shame. I've tried lots of different lemmy apps and haven't liked any of them except liftoff so far...

It's what I use for a stable and immutable system

That is absolutely not how all leases work...

There is a middle ground, though and it's called leasing. It's what we get most of the time when we "buy" digital content. They call it buying, but leasing describes it more accurately.

Edit: not saying I like it - I don't, just making an observation.

I think I also do this. The pointing is more of a "stay" command, though.

How do you wipe?

We made a point of never lying to our kids about Christmas/Santa and it didn't seem to diminish their enjoyment of Christmas at all.

Screwtape letters is excellent, but hardly an authoritative resource on demons. Nor was it intended to be.

While I don't believe there is any way to cook broccoli that will make it taste good, I think this approach has the best chance. The problem, however, is that the oil and salt rather defeat the health benefits of eating the vegetables in the first place...

If the main difference is the dual screen thing then it's not much use for me. My main use case with sheet music is writing it, not reading for performance - so I'd actually prefer to work on just one screen at a time.
