Ditching Comcast is one of the best decisions I think I’ve ever made.
I went with the T-Mobile home internet for a while, and then we got fiber in the area, so I went and changed to them, but if I can avoid it, I’ll never give Comcast another dollar of my money.
Upgrade everybody to Linux Mint. Problem solved.
Don’t worry, none of your extortion money was used to buy that Bitcoin. It was stolen from people. That’s all the government is really good for anyhow is stealing from people.
I use an Android TTS called RHVoice i got from F-Droid
That’s what I heard. I know Samsung has been doing something like this as well.
Yeah, I wish it had been like that. Instead, we had to come back and ask the teacher individually later.
I remember having sex ed in middle school and I just felt as though it was awkward because they didn’t separate us by gender so we couldn’t ask the questions we really wanted to because of the girls in the class
Um, how about all of you?
Isn’t Australia the totalitarian state where you must verify your identity to use social media? If so, then just saying you’re older won’t work. If not, then the law is completely pointless.
Next headline, 4.7 million teens move to Fediverse.
By out in the middle of nowhere, you would have to not be able to connect to any carrier network at all. If you are a Verizon customer and can’t get Verizon signal, but you can see an AT&T tower, you will connect to it to make 911 calls, or a T-Mobile tower, if that’s the one you can see. It doesn’t matter. Every carrier has to carry 911 calls for every other carrier.
I have not done so yet, but I’m going to set up a few of my family members with nodes, but I’m going to get them one of those helltec mesh pocket nodes since it’s also a phone backup battery. That way they’ll be likely to actually carry it with them.
Happy to report that meshtastic is still functioning, despite not being charged a monthly service fee.
Yeah, if it’s not Zigbee or Z-Wave, I’m not touching it. Because I won’t use anything that has a cloud account attached to it.
For me, if I can’t control it with Home Assistant, it does not go in my house. I have smart plugs and I’m getting a smart thermometer and they are all badged for the Works with Home Assistant program so that they can be used even if the company goes out of business. I will buy nothing else.
Open Street Maps. On android you can use osmand from fdroid
With that said, I’ve noticed that OSM does not have a lot of addresses, especially for residential areas, so I would recommend pairing that with gps-coordinates.net two convert street addresses into GPS coordinates.
I haven’t looked at Bookwyrm in quite a while. The last time I did, I couldn’t find the books on it that I was wanting to share. I’m assuming that’s changed recently.
I’m going to have to try to go through House of Suns again. If I remember correctly, I started to try to read it and was put off by the political world environment building or whatever. But I’ll have to give it another shot.
I’m glad I got through the political parts of it at the beginning because the book itself was incredibly interesting, but I found the political part at the beginning to be kind of boring. I need to attempt to read House of Suns because I started it but didn’t get very far through it.
An apartment I used to have had cable as the only option, and it was incredibly expensive, and they thought, since it was the only option available, that they could charge whatever they wanted and get away with it. And when I was using T-Mobile Home Internet in that apartment, I was getting a cheaper price and higher speeds than everybody else in the building.
Fixed wireless really does have a way of humbling these stupid legacy providers.
