Don’t stop with that. I’m early 40s, number of people I know have been diagnosed with fucked up things like cancers.

Happily every after retirements are not in everyone’s future. Live while you can.

By living my best life now while I can.

Collapse, a world war, apocalypse etc? Fuck that I’m out.

I stayed home, not by choice. Got the unwelcome xmas gift of covid.

I have a mastodon account. Be lucky if I fired it up once a week. That’s a lot more than I ever used twatter/x. That I opened maybe 5 times when it first started. The super short form stuff just not my thing.

Mostly just to look at mastodon followed hashtags of photography. When I first got it I straight away put filters on stuff I wasn’t interested in before figuring out how to look at only followed hashtags.

So I’m forced to use windows at work like the majority of my industry.

The start bar is still a thorn in my side since we switched from 10 to 11.

Standard office set up is 2 x 1920x1200 monitors and a 1920x1080 laptop. Some just leave the laptop shut when docked.

I preferred having it on a stand and using the lap top screen real estate.

In windows 10 I could make a monitor the primary and have a start bar only on the laptop. Not being able to do that in windows 11 is fucking annoying. They also fucked up auto hide start bar, it’s always jumping up for bullshit I don’t care about and not hiding when it should. I gave in and accepted I can’t have those bottom few lines of screen real estate because they are Microsoft’s.

As an engineer I do sometimes get feelings of imposter syndrome. But then I look at what Microsoft did to the start bar in windows 11 and think well at least I didn’t do that.

The Telstra pay phone boxes near me now all have massive ridiculously bright screens displaying advertisements. For sure that is their primary purpose now.

Bad Santa

As far as laws regarding digital rights / freedoms go, we have no chance in Australia anyway as the major parties are all against them.

In fact the coalition has an even worse track record than labor.

Not true at all.

Guessing you are using Google Chrime as your browser. If so switch to Firefox and ublock origin works.

Is there a setting that can be enabled at the management end to allow Graphene to pass the device health check?

When my employer rolled out intune I had to get a second device to run their ms apps. This was after them trying to figure out a way to get them to work on Graphene.

Maybe not petty enough, but ISO 8601

Tried ages ago. Meals were OK but quite basic.

Was not impressed with the quality and freshness of fruit and vegetables they supplied. Worse than supermarkets and not even comparable to farmers markets.

Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

I have the Google camera app installed but not the photos app. The only thing is the button inside the camera app that shows a thumbnail of the last picture you took doesn’t work as it’s just a shortcut to the photos app.

Everything else about the Google camera app seems to work on Graphene. I didn’t give it network permissions either.

I think there might be more flexibility there, but certainly all the ones I have seen are in a bun yes.

Did you know that over here in Perth the bunnings sausage sizzle comes in hot dog buns?

That’s what I’ve noticed.

I initially used power delete suite which got maybe half of mine.

Then I went and started manually editing them with random words.

Then started deleting.

I’m very sure that some sub’s have restored deleted comments. Amusingly sometimes with the random words instead of the original.

The only reason I never deleted my account is so that I can go back and mess up or delete stuff as it comes back. Fairly easy to find your comments with a search of your username.

Surprised they haven’t just locked the ability to edit or delete older stuff. It’s not like it ever really gets deleted, just removed from public view.

I have a second cheap second hand phone for work only purposes.

My employer has their device attestation set to only allow intune / Microsoft products to sign in if you are running stock android. Graphene nogo.
