Bombs indiscriminately spread dozens of submunitions over radius of 10 kilometers, making interception challenging, military officials say, day after cluster bomb killed two
As someone long ago once said to me, “panga of the internet.”
A few of my own…
Sometimes I wish I could just hug good internet comrades for hours.
Sometimes I wish I could crawl into a big bed with all of you and just sleep for days. Nothing sexual, just the ability to be physically close among people I can trust.
Sometimes when I am in an appropriate space with ample time to cry I don’t, because I’m afraid I won’t stop before I have to deal with people who value life about as much as the tissue discarded yesterday, including their own. Like I know we all die and I don’t always make the healthiest choices, but I’m not actively trying to destroy myself and take anyone else down just for the thrill factor.
You should get on Rednote if you can get a better phone, you would be astonished by how much nicer they are than people on here. This is (and I say this in the most positive way) a blood bowl of special interest appreciators. On XHS you can make friends in Brazil, Egypt (although they are scared of being tortured by police over what they say 😬), Iraq, all over the place. Not just reverse-diasporoids like me, I’m nothing special. There is a large contingent of Americans on there cataloging homeless and their daily lives on the edge of precarity, and people are genuinely interested in helping them figure out how to make ends meet. Even if they can be almost aggravatingly naive with stuff like “maybe you could move into a less expensive home” or “try explaining your situation to the local government 😀”, they are starting to get it. I know I’ve had occasional outbursts about how Americans are going to get what’s coming to them, but that’s directed squarely at people who still think they can clamber their way up to the point of benefiting from imperialism financially. I never met anyone on the edges in Seattle who had those kinds of illusions unless their sanity was really slipping or they were on the streets on drugs doing the God Bless Us All stuff to keeo going.
But otherwise sit tight and we are going to create a telepathic internet like an Iain M Banks book. Then I won’t have to worry about losing track of conversations or walking into traffic on my phone—you get where I am going with this. (It is a good thing I am not in charge of the future huh)
Well I got a new phone but it was a “low end” budget phone. Unless the carrier renegs on unlocking it, I may be able to do something if work works out. I’m over the fast-food mentality, not because I don’t crave fast, easy, sustainable solutions, just that I know rich arses profit, emotionally, financially, off of being as huge an impediment to progress for the masses.
Oh beware in less than a year Google will block installing your own apps. If you grab IzzyOnDroid and Obtainium you might be able to keep updating stuff that isn’t on the Play Store but I’m not certain. If it’s unlockable and on the LineageOS device list you want to expedite that!!
I’ve been watching that too. I really need to find some tutorials for the technologically challenged and get busy with learning, for that and Linux installation for laptop. I’m just kind of wiped out trying to balance everything just now but mostly I’m not confident I won’t ruin something I can’t replace just now. Understanding the general gist of something is different from understanding doing that thing. Can you recommend any tutorials/blogs/sites for either?
