  • So, like, peeing into a toilet with the seat down, 100% keeps those tiny little splashes from hitting the tops my bare feet at home. So, when I pee in public toilets, I keep the seat down, to keep the urine off my shoes. I do wipe the seat if I miss, and I also spray if there is disinfectant. But I hear the smart girls squat atop the seat anyway.

    Really, places where you don’t have a urinal are sub optimal.











  • I already moved back to a paper calendar in my diary, two years ago. my passwords go into firefox and also a paper contact book. recently google has started interfering with the firefox manager🥳 but mostly I have disabled it. I think it probably still captures keys but I dunno. chicken and egg - how can it ask to save the password if it didn’t sniff the firefox page?

    Home is now a rasberry pi/steam deck/linux combo with still one comp running windows for games but turned off most of the time. I don’t take notes outside of sending to a group of myself in signal. I put all the android games on a cheap tablet and I am contemplating grapheneos for the phone, but for now using a window manager from fdroid, with cuts down on a lot of the google assistant fuckery.

    overall, I am not sure. I think as long as I can use the fdroid apps, manager and clock, I am mostly ok. I leave the screen on and plugged in to keep google from killing the alarm clock, but I am keeping an eye out for a nice alarm clock in the future, which maybe chats to home assistant on the pi, because I do want accurate time.

    The biggest use I make of my phone, and why I have had a pixel for so long, is taking pictures - to show what I do, how I take things apart, what I need to do, parts and serial numbers, hardware. buying/selling/banking.

    The camera in my pocket and signal are my killer apps.

    As long as I can turn off frickin google assistant, I will probably still use android, honestly. But I started making non-critical parts of my life not-android a while back. My utopia is a private device centered on me and my family, not a data pump for a corp.

    google does not provide, even as well as a paper calendar.

    I don’t. Guy at the office has one with an “unborn fetus” on one of the months, for the pic. Most of the rest is wildlife stuff, with scripture. But every year has at least one fetus page, usually with what looks to be a newborn or older free-floating in a cavern with text about how it has this or that at single digit weeks of age.
