Oh, gonna try them too. Thanks for the tip!

Love your comment and especially your Edit. You really had me there at first, heh.

That’s my music player too.

Both (Sync and Boost) are, in my opinion, the best Lemmy apps. An extensive set of features and customisation, lovely interface, they are 5 star products.

Back in time, a long time ago, when I was 19 and spent about a year traveling abroad, I learned that a bidet in the bathroom isn’t a standard everywhere. Couldn’t understand why.

Another Gen X here, yes, you are right, although being a Gen-Xer in the third world is/was not at all easy, even compared to millennials and Gen Z in the first world.

In any case, the title says “financial success” where it should read “survival skills”.

Same with F for Facebook!

Don’t remember right now. Been reading a couple of Israeli news sites in English, al-Jazeera, and some other news sites, so whatever I say to you now might be misguided. Anyway, as far as I recall right now it wasn’t speculation.

Well, the fact that most of them went back to Gaza makes me doubt that previously quoted number.

In any case, I hope Hamas gets an obliterating hit and can’t recover, and that Israel remembers that not all Gaza is Hamas, so this is over as soon as possible with no more innocent lives lost.

Just answering to the first question: As of today, according to Israeli media, that number is quite off.

Yep. I never use sms nor other messaging systems save for WhatsApp. Not that I’m a fan of it since it was bought by Facebook, but it is what everybody here uses, and it works quite well, reliably, and has an interesting set of features.

I somehow envy your optimism.

Thanks a lot for that link. I am a hardcore science fiction nerd, yet I had never crossed paths with that one. Indeed relevant in this debate, too.

But what about outside the job? Things like taxes, being able to determine the truthfulness of things you read online, etc?

That was what I was going to comment. Especially that second part. It makes me wonder if it all isn’t by design. Well, yes, it is.

Only n00bs build their own kernel, OS, compiler, and coding language, and they already have that program built in. Cool people create their own universe, with different laws of physics and constants, then they make it act as a whole computing entity capable of anything, it then creates a simulation in which we discuss this stuff.

Same principle as with cassettes/music tapes.

There still are. I bought mine a year and a couple of months ago and it has FM radio and a 3.5 mm jack. And it’s a great phone.

I had an old Moto phone with an FM radio that worked without headphones, although it was stated that with headphones plugged in reception would be much better (which was true). My current phone (a Moto one too) has FM radio, and I use it.

I never had a phone without FM radio. It’s one of the features I actually want in my phone.

When I had my Geocities website, I used Webcrawler as my preferred search engine. Cute spider and spiderweb iso/logo. Then came Altavista (altavista.digital.com, it was at first) and I switched. It brought more and better results. Somehow I never liked Lycos. And Yahoo, the first years, was a categorised catalogue/guide, kinda curated, and you had to submit a site to be considered to be added. You had to choose under which category (and subcategory, quite often) it should be listed. Also, at first, it wasn’t Yahoo.com, it was buried in some .edu (or .ac, I don’t quite recall) URL.
