Yay for Canada! All of those US brands, not one in my home. You’ll be better off without them.

lol, no.

Thank you, that’s very thorough. And fortunately I’m just a few steps away from that level, so tightening up my act won’t be such a chore.

So what are y’all well informed, and security conscious folx doing? Truly location data can be useful for me, for people I want to know sometimes, but gets kind of concerning for certain entities to know and be able to track over time.

I’m pretty sure Xiao Hong Shu translates to Little Red Note in English. I’m not using it, just clarifying the name to make it seem small / cute. Aduki beans are Xiao hong dou.

I’ve been virtue signaling for years now. I can’ wait till Meta corp is a tiny greasy stain in the historical record. I’m had two dear friends ask me about the fediverse since Sunday.

Similarly, I’ve heard, “nothing more permanent than a 3/4 solution”, i.e. it works well enough that fixing other things always ends up taking priority.

Thanks EFF!! Once again!

JBL Charge 4, great sound, big battery, form factor is just about perfect. Charge 5 is too big. My bike crew rides at night, and many of us have Bluetooth speakers, all playing different music at the same time. We’ve started referring to it as The Cacophony.

I used an iPod touch for calling over WiFi for years. It worked just fine, as long as one had a WiFi connection. Do it!

I find the Oral B keeps my teeth feeling clean longer than sonicare.

Thanks! I’ll give it a gander. I was off hiking today, and used some crappy app to track my progress. I know there’s an open source ware that can do it, without invading my privacy; it’s time to start using that ‘ware.

LoL Fox Parrots! Damn GMOs!
