Yep. Migrating to that from Snapdrop is on my to-do list since Pairdrop natively does the internet sharing I had to patch into Snapdrop. Just one of many things I haven’t gotten around to yet.

Absolutely, and they’d still have to put her in old lady makeup because she looks fantastic at 75

Wear a mask and wash your hands often?

Ms. Wolfe moved into the Mountain View Mobile Park in 2010. She got a loan for a new $32,000 mobile home; after home and flood insurance, her monthly payment was $350, plus $240 to rent the lot. With an annual income of about $22,000, Ms. Wolfe was on a tight budget.

That’s actually surprising. When I was house shopping, one of the ones on my short list was, apparently, a manufactured home. Couldn’t tell from inside or outside, but it was. Only found out when the bank said they wouldn’t finance it.

I guess it varies by lender, but neither of the two banks I was dealing with for my mortgage would finance mobile or manufactured homes.

That also looks like me in college when my friends would complain that we didn’t have anything to smoke out of.

And that’s not even touching on the part where the “inter-dimensional space wizard who will send you to the torment nexus” is just a pretense for controlling and subjugating people.

I’m going to guess that’s one of the first jobs that was given away to AI.

Snapdrop or PairDrop

Those send over WebRTC through the browser, and there’s also apps that can tie into the Share menu. You can also self-host it if you want. The data doesn’t go through the server, it’s peer-to-peer, and only devices on your local network can see each other.

If you long press (mobile) or right-click (desktop) you can send text strings which is great for sending URLs and such between devices.

I could be wrong, but I don’t think old school Bluetooth OBEX is even part of AOSP anymore.

I patched Snapdrop to tie into Authelia (uses the display name passed from Authelia instead of a random name) and removed the local network requirement which lets me send files to anyone authorized to use my instance even if they’re not on the local network. The Authelia requirement is relaxed on my local network, so if someone is on my wifi, they can just connect and send (it uses the random usernames if there’s no auth header).

I don’t know, but I hate that, too. Modern flashlights have every advantage over the ones of old, but they ALL seem to have stupid things like that.

Clicking through multiple brightness levels is one thing, but strobe, SOS, and 5 levels is ridiculous. Just give me on/high, low, and off.

Aside from forgetting to post a follow-up, lol, it went very well.

I found that I could get by with a dumb phone but also that a true dumb phone would be a little too restrictive for my lifestyle. The device I used wasn’t a true feature phone (I just disabled everything that made it “smart” with the exception of my bank app), so after the 30 days were up, I un-dumbed it back into the basic smartphone it is.

I’m really liking that as a middle ground. I still benefit from the small screen and atypical form factor by not wanting to use it to scroll endlessly but I can have the convenience connectivity apps that I want (email, Matrix, bank app, maps, weather app/widget, calendar/tasks, etc).

I used KeyMapper app to make the physical keypad much more useful (music controls, quick-access to certain apps on long press, etc) which is awesome. It’s also solar powered along with a few of my other everyday carry devices.

In two days, I will have been daily-driving it for two months and will probably continue using it for the foreseeable future. Not sure what I am going to do on my next upgrade cycle, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

“Look what you [outgroup] made me do!”

All mine are original unless otherwise stated. They may not be the best, but they’re OC 🤷‍♂️

My Jack Russell mix hunts carpenter bees which is awesome. But she also hunts other bees which is as pictured above. lol. I have to say “danger bug!” when she’s chasing one that’s going to sting her, and she knows to back off. She’s starting to learn the difference on her own.

There’s the LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device). It’s directional, but there’s side/rear leakage. This seems to be fully directional and works via a different method. Or, at least, that’s my understanding.

We’re so far beyond satire at this point, I have absolutely no idea if that’s real or a joke lol

Some Lemmy clients let you group communities. Depending on what communities you group together, it’s kind of like that. But like @[email protected] said, it sounds good on paper but the logistics become crazy once you factor in things like moderation and culture clashes.

Do you have space to compost? Cardboard will eventually break down once you get all the tape / labels off of it. Not sure what happens to the ink, but my (non-food) garden doesn’t seem to mind it.

Another option, if the boxes are in good shape / large enough, is to donate them as moving boxes. Put up an ad on some local classifieds listings (whatever form works best) and maybe check with local thrift/secondhand shops to see if they want them.

Heh, at first, I was mentally comparing it to the LRAD but those still have a lot of rear and side leakage and aren’t truly unidirectional. They also work on completely different principles.

But since every technology is eventually weaponized, I fully expect to see SASERs if/when this makes it out of the lab lol.

It’s a perfectly cromulent sentence in my neck of the woods lol.
