but the venerable 59 was inferior to the HPs made at the time. while the market began competing on the number of memory "steps," HP was already making more far efficient use of the ones they already had and embraced a keystroke programming model that encouraged simplicity and economy that the '59 only wishes it had.
@hardbass2k8 part of online culture is not having to care too much, though. and if you know you're using shit grammar, that's a product of choice rather than ignorance.
TBH all phones right now are spyware, but that shouldn't stop us from making them as safe as they can possibly be.
If you *must* run apps that depend on goog, there's a cool thing available to you. It's called microG (μg). It's a FOSS drop-in replacement for goog play services, so apps can still work without the goog. Use that + yalp store & you're golden. Do your research first.
@hector the point where I fail is making the determination that I shouldn't actually try to fix anything. I've not yet had a situation like this where it was completely clear to me that if I left it as-is, things would stay as they are, and wouldn't culminate in a brique. :-P
@lnxw48a1 @maiyannah a regrettably common thread to most star enthusiasts.
when I watch anime that shows fantastically starry skies, I need only to look at a world satellite composite of light emissions to remind myself that dark skies in Japan (esp) are really hard to find. it depresses me a little.
@maiyannah at risk of getting a bit spiritual about it, I just wish more people would learn to genuinely appreciate dark skies and dark places. I really think they're missing out on a lot. but I know that when 60%+ of the world population is in and near mega cities, this is a tall order.
@clacke while recalling a bit of the old US south there, the computer not being "for shopping" (if I read this pidgin German with my pidgin German well enough?) tells how far we've progressed today. :-P
it's a fun artefact of computer culture. I've always appreciated this.
