What's the deal with Firefox mobile (Android)? Couldn't see the setting.

Upvoted.

Yes. I'm dumb today.

Kindly put, dear internet stranger!

You've not understood the word minimalist. I like the minimal number of items in my pockets.

You're not into minimalism. I have no problem with that. We're all different.

For navigation, I chose Waze.

There seem to a new wave of navigation apps heading towards us that talk P2P rather than a central server.

I can see that but I like minimalism. The fewer things I carry around the better.

I don't even put my car key on my house keys bunch anymore.

Your phone doesn't have a LED for flash?

[UK] I carry phone and keys. I pay for everything with my phone. Twerking on street corners as a Gen X for cash isn't profitable anymore.

If I know I need ID, eg. Costco, I have my old fashioned wallet in my jacket pocket. I keep meaning to set up the Costco ID on my phone. Doesn't happen.

The number of times I open or reach for my wallet is maybe twice a month. Frigging barber still wants to be paid in cash, and all the 20th century banks and their ATMs are closing .. [so now they have 20th century tech and no way to interact efficiently with the public. Haha!].

I'm very increasingly anarchist as I get into my sixth decade - UK 2020s feels like 1970s again so screw the useless thieving politicians - so I should be actively pro-cash but I'm actually more pro-crypto pro-barter (especially pro barter) in the real world. Long ago l learned that if I have physical cash, I piss it up the wall, but I'm careful with credit card cash. No idea why. I never have more than £30 in notes on me; that's enough money to buy a Costa coffee for you yanks.

Sadly, that means I can't give cash to the odd homeless. Not too many homeless with contactless readers. Maybe that'll be rabbit-in-headlights Kier's big thing: contactless readers for the destitute veterans that the armed services and government abandoned (I came of age around Falkland conflict).

Has to be something including RCS. For all Google's faults, I like Messages.

That said, I haven't tried to back them up in a while to a straight text file. Eeek! That was back in the days when I used Signal to handle SMS for me.

Damn. Another task.

Greetings fellow traveler! [I'm an early model X - late sixties].

Are you taking about the Michael Fish, 'There isn't going to be a hurricane.' blunder? Sevenoakes became Oneoak! 1987 perhaps? I really don't remember that, would you remind me, please?

I'm talking about the 1970s strikes which cut power to the whole country for sets of three or four days; Ted Heath being reacquainted with the role of the electorate before they all became Tony Blair-esque dopey smiling useless clones in 1992 ish (until we found out about Major-Curry (hehe!)). Going shopping with candles on trolleys, thawing food in the freezers.

Gen X. The generation that couldn't be arsed to programme the video recorder or cooker digital time-clock, but knew how to.

There were a lot of power cuts in our (UK) youth and we remember saying to ourselves, "Ok, so that's how it's gonna be, huh?!". Still kicking arse and taking names.

We were the grown-up's TV remote control, with our 1200 bits per second magnetic tape storage for BBC B home computers (from the later ARM boys), before we got 360kB 5" floppy disks.

Tech doesn't phase us (yet); AI is a better average conversation than a spouse.

I think most of his cabinet colleagues wishes he would be.

My parents were too but they were anything but. 1920s and 1940s.

In the early days, too much Metformin.

Before the ArchLinux wiki became as good as it is, people like me used the Gentoo and LFS wikis as documentation for Linux.

There isn't quite enough time in the world for me to be able to use LFS in anger as much I would wish. We make do with source distros with source managers like Gentoo (surprise!), Funtoo and others which give the source distros users just enough helping hands of dependency management.

Real tears would be shed were for LFS to disappear.
