Simple solution just use a $20 4yr phone that only has WiFi access and you only use for work, no cellular data

Old smartphones are cheap these days

pers0n··on Pfizer Covid vaccine approved for use next week in UK
Not everyone can wait this out, some old people need protection. Others just want to get on with life and not be locked up for 20yrs.
pers0n··on Would you be willing to fund a Linux port to Apple Silicon?
No. It would be an ongoing effort, there are plenty of platforms for Linux already and we have more flavors than needed as well
pers0n··on Due to a problem with AWS, many "smart" vacuums or doorbells will stop working
That's why I'll never buy any "smart" home stuff. With traditional locks, lights, etc they will last decades. No one is going to support 10yr or even 30yr old smart home devices, causing you to have to upgrade all that stuff later.
pers0n··on A 4-month online dating experiment using 10 fictional singletons (2012)
Capitalism can't solve this problem, it can't solve every problem. Any solution ends up being about money, which is the opposite goal, because people get greedy and will change anything to make it harder to get people to spend more money on their "solution".

Real life is better, that is the only solution

pers0n··on A 4-month online dating experiment using 10 fictional singletons (2012)
These sites are built to make money.

Match, who owns most of them (okcupid, pof, ...) has all kind of other services they offer: boost, profile makeovers, date coaching, etc...

They limit you and force you to go through profiles 1 by 1 because it benefits them to do so. Because you are more likely to pay to have more access, get boosts, etc. They have optimized the site to make money, so the longer you are single the better.

While you might find someone on the site, I find real life is better, granted with COVID things are a bit rough now.

Nevermind that many people now have overinflated egos and feel they have tons of option. In the case of women I think they forget most of the thristy guys are just looking to hit it and quit it and take it as their value and worth is higher than it really is.

pers0n··on As internet forums die off, finding community can be harder than ever
I don't like reddit but its ok for some topics and other topics are downright hostile. The big forums are often more friendly and will give better advice I've found and much faster to respond also
pers0n··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them

This is probably more of a Epstein move than a tax dodge move
pers0n··on AltStore: An alternative app store for non-jailbroken iOS devices
I hope they support Raspberry Pi someday. I have one running Pi-Hole (it has other stuff installed, but not running) and it has plenty of resources left over.
pers0n··on AltStore: An alternative app store for non-jailbroken iOS devices
Don't you have to pay $100 for an App Developer license to be able to really use this?
pers0n··on Hum to Search Song
I guess they will use this to take down violations of copyrighted songs on youtube. If you sing/cover or song and some author doesnt like it they may strike it. The "Eagles" are known to be like that about their stuff
pers0n··on U.S. House's antitrust report hints at break-up of big tech firms: lawmaker
These companies don't need to innovate, just buy up the competition or small companies and absorb them into their own. Or if they won't sell, just copy all the features or clone the app and use their big name to push it out there and crush them.
pers0n··on Apple quietly stops selling Bose, Sonos and some Logitech gear

Stop mowing your lawn (perhaps back yard) and you'll see a ton of insects (huge grasshoppers, big spiders, ants, etc) by the end of summer. mowing lawns hurts insects also
pers0n··on The CSS Standardization Process
Typography still has a long way to go. Generating a proper baseline rhythm easily would be nice
pers0n··on 'Alarming' loss of insects and spiders recorded
Stop mowing your lawn for 6 months or more. And you'll see more insects than you have for decades
pers0n··on Microsoft proves the critics right: We’re heading toward a Chrome-only Web
There are things missing in Chrome like their refusal to allow you to tab through the drop down list that appears when you type something, that was marked as will not fix like 10 years ago
