Semi-retired Internet geek living with my wife and dog in Nairn, Scotland. When I'm well enough I'm trying to make the world a better place through the application of technology but I'm also the SNP councillor for Nairn & Cawdor which is taking up most of most of my time.

  • It may be coming back. See https://repebble.com/

    I'm very happy.

  • Temptation

  • No.

  • Skoda have done something similar with their latest offering. No Skoda badge, no radiator grill. Just SKODA in a boring font.

  • Seems to work fine for me. Shrug.

  • Earbuds

  • I find https://gsmarena.com is the right place to start as you can search, among many other things, for phones with a 3.5mm socket.

  • Tusky for client. Lots of good medium sized instances (avoid mastodon.social). I'm on mas.to for a general account and mastodon.scot for a local one (both reliable, run by the same person).

  • Earbuds

  • I still only buy phones with a 3.5mm socket.

  • She didn't "pledge" to, but she didn't seem adverse to the idea if it was the right person.

  • Not every country has elections either.

  • Scotland: we have such a massive hangover on New Year's Day that we need the day after off too.

    Rest of the UK: heh, OK, so you can work on Easter Monday instead

  • They offered it to me. I've not been on reddit since the API issue kicked off.

  • Upvote for "Cautionary Tales". Just discovered that and loving it.

  • This is what puts me off.

    Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

    I was pruning a ground hugging bush today and grumbling to my wife about having to take the prunings to the dump. "Why not just hide them in the bush?" she said. Problem solved.

  • Largely new friends. Interestingly those who had children later seemed to cope better with the balancing act between parenthood and socialising.

  • Now in my sixties and still CF. In my thirties the only real down side was the loss (largely) of friends who had chosen to have children so could now no longer come out to play.

    But life was good, on the whole.

    And still is.
