  Yeah… it does seem like a bit of mystery, but clearly there must be some customers.

  At least for package deliveries there’s now package boxes all around the city where I live.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Based on postmarketos.org/install/ the Nokia N900 can run the latest stable release of PostmarketOS.

  Nokia N900 was a proper Linux-powered phone released in Nobember 2009.

  So yeah, it’s been getting over 15 years of community support so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why can't we go back to small phones?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I have fairly small hands, but still prefer a larger phone. More content on the screen and space for battery.

  HOWEVER, I’d take both. A small phone would be a good secondary device. I want something modern the size of my Samsung Galaxy Ace (GT-S5830i). The back also has a really nice texture.
  Oh, yeah, it also has a headphone jack, MicroSD card slot and quickly swappable battery which I should probably replace because it seems it has slightly increased its capacity… volumetric capacity.

  But I also prefer a bit more thickness so it doesn’t feel like a fragile, slippery sheet of glass (rugged phones are good for that).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're Back!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My dude, it’s currently… well, almost 4AM. The average 3AM thinking got me to try it. It prints.

  A bad idea anyway, but it fucking works (at least short term).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to secure your phone before attending a protest⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  remove the battery

  Don’t forget a portable heat gun, suction cup and prying tools. /j

  I wish Discogs wouldn’t use PayPal so I could still use it (it would appear I got shadow-banned). I only have 4 CDs…

  Anyway, I got one with a hidden track which I only noticed visually on Teamwork by DJs@Work. Since there’s a while of silence, the audio part is visibly spaced out on furthermost part of the disc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People never understand the sacrifices I make for them.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  During the pandemic at school I was able to mostly get out of these by reducing it to basically a presentation.

  First, bandwidth limiting to prove “bad internet connection” and inability of using camera. Simplest way was using mobile data on 2G EDGE.
  Second, unlistenable audio. Increase microphone gain to maximum and nobody will want to hear you.

  At that point you may even be requested to not use either camera nor microphone, like I was. Problem solved, video call -> presentation.

  Most likely won’t work for your job though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People never understand the sacrifices I make for them.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I could see myself in that situation (the user), which is why I so much prefer text. Either I could get distracted or bring some technical issue upon myself by trying (or continuing) to do things differently, or both combined.

  I mean, for example even with something simpler like this if company wanted me to use my personal device. I may not be using a recent Android or iOS device in the future, or I may simply not want the company software on anything I use personally.

  I don’t know what the case here was, but perhaps it made some sense.

  About a quarter of one’s salary had to be earmarked for voluntary subscriptions, which were so numerous that it was difficult to keep track of them.

  But just a quarter seems too optimistic though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brother HL-2280DW, what are you doing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I myself prefer inkjet. Mainly because I don’t really understand the laser printer operation, I can’t even name all the rollers, but the simplicity of pouring more ink into old cartridges and easy head replacement (built into cartridges in my case) is nice, as well as compactness when requiring color. Maybe when I’ll once decide to study it I’ll try a laser.

  HP PSC 1315, somewhere around 20 years old. It has an absolutely botched USB replacement that’s not even fully inserted, but it’s somehow worked for years now.
  It was my first soldering attempt. You’ll squirm now, I didn’t know what flux was. I thought there wasn’t enough heat and went to MAXIMUM. 520°C (968°F) cooked contacts. But somehow it works…

  Hear me out, printers are relatively high-maintenance technology. I want some decent understanding to be able to deal with various faults first, but I am too lazy to study laser printers, so I use inkjet.

  But actually, I kinda want a… dot matrix. 24-pin for sure, but hear me out, I want a slow one. I want to watch it and listen to it printing, so I want it to take enough time. I am not joking. Many times I used high DPI printing which takes 20 minutes per page (A4) and I was watching the heads the entire time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've noticed a lot of UK job applications use the American MM/DD/YYYY date format and some also say "resume" instead of CV. Does that annoy you if you're British?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am from Europe. About the dates, for me it depends.
  In personal things, I generally use the American date format because I got used to it. And when going through a list of things month first is often nicer to look at.

  When giving something to someone else, I use date compatible with RFC3339 and ISO8601 standards (YYYY-MM-DD).
  Quick comparison between the two: ijmacd.github.io/rfc3339-iso8601/

  But people have questioned me about both, since DD. MM. [YY]YY is basically the only format used in my country, but I don’t like it.
