@variablepulserate old habits die hard. I still have u in colour, behaviour, neighbour, and the like despite Japan using the American English spelling for things 😆
@jussipekonen thank goodness for libraries! Do you borrow physical books or digital?
@variablepulserate the network operator, of course. Regardless, I’m fighting with Apple software too much lately. It’s not as bad as Windows, but I’m tired of paying a premium for brokenness.

@coopey hope all is well with you, too! Get up to anything fun and exciting over Christmas?
@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? 🤐
