@sumudu nope. I upgraded the phone in the summer because the plan allowed a “free upgrade” that later cost $430 in hidden fees. This will probably be my last Apple purchase ever.

@variablepulserate the device is pretty decent. It took a day or so to get used to the size but, after that, it seems illogical to use anything narrower. The camera is quite capable, but it suffers from the same reflection problem in low light as the previous phone, which is frustrating as heck.
@japchap mindfulness is something that I've been thinking a lot about over the past few years. There are a lot of people around us every time we're in a public space, but how many people are actually present? We're substituting physical reality with a poor facsimile 😕
@sumudu hope it will be. Have been doing some research on self-employment, and it seems that a lot of independent developers need about 4 years to be self-sufficient now 🤔
@variablepulserate what's not to like about 2025? The staged UFO invasion? The Bird Flu lockdowns? The chem-trails in the sky with "vaccinations" for various fake things in aerosol form? The endless rise of crime and violence against the people of the UK by invaders?
Or did I miss something? 🤐
Happy New Year! 2024 was not a bad year, but it was certainly a challenging one. Looking forward to 2025. Hope that everyone stays warm and safe, away from anyone who might be drinking and driving.
@joeo10 how would a PWA help? Is it just notifications that you're looking for?
@joeo10 I haven't done much with link rot recently, no. At one time there was a function that would go and test every URL in the database and, if the page returned a 404, then a request would go out to the Internet Archive to see if there is a record for the link around the time of the post and, if so, the URL would be updated.
However, that was shut down five or six years ago after a discussion on here about the ethics of updating posts written by others automatically 🤔
@variablepulserate given the number of people who lead unhealthy lives, which ages them rapidly, it's no surprise that someone who takes even the slightest bit of care would look younger. Do you have a lot of grey in your hair, yet? 😬
