Wow, seeing this collage the first thing that came to mind was a Jamiroquai video, and the only video from this picture referenced is this new-to-me group. So fitting. Thanks!

This is very awesome! I imagine most of us who floated over a couple years ago have figured out ways of making this happen, but what a huge obstacle for newcomers. Huge news!!!

I don’t know about now, but “back in the day” I went to work with my Dad for one of these and vomited on his cubicle neighbor’s keyboard. Good times.

I am US based, so maybe not relevant, but is it a good replacement for Merlin?

Does this have maps of it’s own?

I use this, it’s pretty great! Not really a replacement for the stock app, but I use a non-stock OS so it doesn’t matter to me. It is more like messaging before GIFs and whatnot, but not hard to figure those things out if you want them.

Ya, it works! But it is very much like a phone interface on the computer. Maybe not perfect but it exists.

As a stop gap to what @wjs018@piefed.wjs018.xyz mentioned, are you able to use the :hide read posts" option? I haven’t used that, I am not sure how it works, but I think at least then you wouldn’t see it. I guess you wouldn’t see other posts to follow up on then.

But we still get polluted together like a fucking survey

This was the main reason my mom’s side didn’t pass language down. Not even food! Just assimilate 🤷‍♂️ But they were peasants in a new country so best to make it work in the easiest way possible. It sounds like OP has it pretty rough 🙁

That isn’t great.

Then the follow up of a sore tongue tip for the next three days from doing battle with said kernel.

I imagine from a developer viewpoint, fiddling with something like this is a nice break 🙂 I have enjoyed the flag parade and accept future flags and the past pie, whichever comes next!

Same. I need to step my game up! Profiles don’t look that hard, just something to learn 🙂

Is this goat named Carl?

I have this exact feeling when “discussing” this topic with folks that believe a country should be run as a business. It’s so misguided! People are residents, not employees, and they shouldn’t be able to be fired by the country they are living in. This “firing” does seem to be happening in the US right now, tho 👎

For my work, we sometimes use “don’t let perfect get in the way of good enough,” but at this point in time your framing seems particularly apt.

I can see your comment that you linked to, perhaps whatever was happening was fixed. It is minimized, however.

It actually isn’t about anything

I always thought it was about track marks but I like this option better.
