Well, I knew my brother was getting a new phone soon anyways so getting notified his device changed wasn’t a surprise. Otherwise, getting notified hia device changed without that knowledge may have triggered me to contact him elsewhere to ask if he did. Signal is mostly going to be conversations between close/trusted individuals. It doesn’t tell you what they changed to, the message basically tells you that if this person didn’t legitimately change devices then it might be a bad actor.

I looked at my requirements of being stable and secure, and calyx seemed to have the most focus on that plus having a good outward image. Graphene’s main dev has had a troubled past with criticism.

Calyx is amazing for me, I love it. BUT android auto doesn’t work on it, which is lame. I’ve learned to deal with it and use waze instead.

I knew my brother got a new phone because signal told me their usual device had changed.

No, I got a pixel 7 and put calyx on it. Better than any samsung I’ve had. I don’t plan on going back to a closed system ever again.

My cat sleeps like that too.

My girlfriends dog, Athena, died this morning. Complications with a tumor in her organs.

My gamer laptop died, and I tend to spend a good amount of time out the house. Getting a steamdeck for like 350$ (sale) and packing one of my 15 thinkpads made more sense to me. Overall, spending about 450$ on everything instead of 1200$ for another computer that requires me to basically set up a full desktop to use it. It’s great being able to just pull out the deck and get at it. It’s not the best way to play games, but it’s pretty nice for when I’m not home.

Do you love me? Could you learn to love me?

Still waiting for calyx to do the update. Honestly, I doubt much will really change for me.

I can’t turn on the lights, i forgot my password

A coworker of mine was an computer engineer in the early 2000s, but is now a warehouse director. She told me she helped her son build a new pc but it was having heating issues. I asked about fans and she said it only had 2 intake on the front with no exhaust. Told her a local shop that has cheaply priced good fans. She said computers have changed a lot in 20 years. I helped in about a week ago with choosing storage blocks, had no clue nvme even existed.

I always find it funny when my black cat tries to be sneaky by lying on the white carpet at night. He always gets surprised when I go straight to him and start talking to him. He thinks cause it’s dark that he’s invisible, but really there’s just a massive black orb in the dark living room now.

I hate all these bastards. That’s why I only use gentoo and play games I find in thrift stores and google drive folders.

I’ve been using Qobuz. Sure it’s still paid, but I can buy downloads for any of the music on there. Same with Bandcamp. I’ve been buying one album every paycheck and putting them on my storage blocks, then putting them on my media player and phone. I support my favorite bands, and get to keep something in return. On top of all this, I hunt down CDs. I’ve got a massive physical music collection, and it’s nice.

John’s out here swingin meat.

Yeah… Might wanna add ‘sony’ to the beginning of that search.

My friend found a Watchman at a garage sale yesterday. It’s kinda like this thing here. It’s about the sixe of an old walkie talkie, and used to be able to pick up tv channels by antenna. We tried it but no video channels came through, we were able to get some radio stations though.

Both of my cats like being held like babies. My younger boy, Spooky, asks to be held at least once a day. My older boy, Joe demands one hug and kiss daily, if he doesn’t get it he will follow people around whining until it happens. Joe is 13, and Spooky is 1.5 now.
