  • I run a Chromebook from HP that no longer has support from Google. I had to pull the back off and remove a physical screw to reinstall the OS but am happily running Pop_OS 22,04 on it which gets linux-firmware updates. Unfortunately I have not seen a bios update in quite some time, but the firmware still gets support from the kernel and distro. I did need the juevos to actually open my computer up after researching what to do and the knowledge to futz with all the keyboard oddities to get the keyboard fully functional that most people just don’t have the knowledge to easily do nor the patience to fight with Google searches and Gallium tools/documentation to make these things work.



  • I deleted them all from my phone. I decided reddit had moved on into the type of company I no longer wanted to support. I deleted all of my comments, deleted the apps from my phone, logged back in and deleted my comments again, deleted all of their history and cookies from Firefox, and haven’t been back. Even if they fixed the current issues and reopened the public api, what they were already willing to do to their community shows what they are as a business. They will no longer get my clicks, my visits, or my ad revenue.


  • I love to backpack and got surprised by how useful having stuff with me was. Now I wear a daypack every day and keep random odd things in it. I have a rain coat, a thin pullover, my medication, a first aid kit, a cpr shield, a water bottle, my workout plan and workout book to record them in, and even a tiny multitool (gerber dime). I sometimes refer to it as my “murse” as a joke (man purse), but I just find having that stuff with me to be incredibly useful.
