It might have happened, but people have not called me out on it. I keep far away from swear words while learning a new language.

Something I am struggelig with however, is being seen as less intelligent and less capable because I am speaking with an accent and/or bad grammar. Constantly being seen as less valuable.

A Switch 2 with Pokopia! Told myself it was for kids and way too expensive, but it is almost giving me the same feeling as Animal Crossing did.

By doing temp work. Nurcing homes, daycares, stores, kitchens ++ often need extra sets of hands around here with no particular education needed.

I used to just run icecast and mpd. Not sure how you could password protect that, though.

I wouldn’t do it because of the fire hazard. Better to use hardware that is meant to run 24/7 plugged in.

Have you looked into Rivendell? Not sure if it is abandoned, but I’ve considered trying it.

In my area people are selling off their rental properties these days, as the return isn’t worth it any more. I’m sure there are markets where you can still earn a lot that way, but if you’re not interested in being a landlord, don’t become one. If you want a quiet life, keep investing in a diversified portfolio. It’s ok to have other values and goals.

Don’t play any games. Be honest and genuine, even about your minor faults or things that could scare somebody off. That way when you finally find the right person you can really lower your shoulders and feel that nice feeling of being yourself with your partner.

Am I misunderstanding the article linked, or are they basing this on three cases spread over almost thirty years? Is that good science?

Lokal volunteer run radio, if you have something like that in your area. Find out when they recruit or send them a mail. There are several in my area, and they are very social, perfect wether you want to talk, code, write, do audio or something else. You can often start from zero there, or find a way to use something you already know.

I try to eat better when I have the time, but when I need something filling that takes five minutes and doesn’t cost much, I open a bag of instant ramen, boil it in water with the spice pouch it comes with, two handfuls of frozen vegetables and some soy chunks or beans.

Not sure if it is the same exact phone you are mentioning, but there is something with a similar name in the list of supported devices. https://devices.ubuntu-touch.io/

I’m not an expert on what it uses under the hood so to speak, but gnome-calls and Chatty do not sound familiar to me, so maybe not.

I saw a huge jump in battery life when the upgrade to 24.04 came. Might not be the case for all the phone models supported, but there is some progress.

I would love to have smart glasses for subtitles when I’m travelling, measuring stuff, plant identification and other handy stuff, but I don’t trust any of the companies making them, and I don’t trust most people to not abuse them.

1. Mue by Koki Nakano, something beautiful and strange incase they are actually sleeping.

2. Lift me up by Moby, time to rise and shine!

3. Anything (for example Yellow Silk Buddha) by Incapacitants to scare them out of their room.

400g of firm tofu and a 5m XLR cable.

I have an x270 with around those same specs that I use happily every day. I’ve never bought new batteries though, so it would not be a candidate for the bus realistically for me. I run a few simple games on it (like Stardew Valley). I use Xfce, so fairly lightweight, but I think I could run something a bit heavier too, as it feels very snappy. Beware of bad audio though, that was such a disappointment even when it was new-ish (bought it very lightly used).

I would be willing to rebuy my laptop for around 1500 NOK now.

It’s mostly to make an identity for the broadcaster/channel/show, so that the viewer or listener instantly and instictively know what they are watching.

I like Dirty V (Norway) and Vincent (Germany). I can go with Max Burger (Scandinavia) too, if the other options are MacDonald’s or Burger King, as these two mainly make vegetarian food that is unseasoned and lazy.

Give me anything that’s repairable and has a bootloader that can be opened and I’m yours. Currently using a Fairphone and I would consider buying one again the day this one is no longer supported by any of the custom roms/Linux phone distros or is beyond repair.
