It would not be a tragedy for the planet if the human race went extinct. The planet could heal from the damage our species has done.

I like Devuan, because Debian went to the dark side.

XP phoned home. Win2K was closer to the pinnacle of Windows development.

And then suddenly your kid has special needs that require constant supervision - it’ll never be safe to leave them alone. For the rest of your life, you’re now a caregiver, and you’ll have to find someone to take over when you die. And find some way to afford all that.

And what if you birthed alone, or your fellow parent bails out or dies? Who’ll take care of that child and who’ll earn money? The US is deliberately built to make this devastating for anyone who’s not already wealthy.

I have a special-needs pet who can’t be left alone for more than a few hours. I have no desire to amplify that into a full-lifetime task.

It is not necessary to have children to recognize that parenthood isn’t a cure for unhappiness.

Not all decent people have or want children.

Are you lost? This is a community for those who are childfree.

If you truly can’t move, then you need evidence (backed up somewhere, too) and competent legal advice. It’s better if this evidence-gathering is surreptitious, so they won’t perform “better” during the recording.

P.S. In your jurisdiction, is it illegal to smoke near children? If it is, a tip to child protective services might be appropriate.

I’d like it Visual Voicemail would keep working when Phone applies updates.

To get this release, you’d have to be in the beta program, which is entirely optional.

My 6a runs A15 QPR1 without issue. I really like having the 80% charge limiter.

Legislation could fix that. Unfortunately, politicians can be and are bought, so that’s unlikely.

Can confirm that Charge Optimization finally is enabled and working.

What if the only way to turn them is a repeat of 1939-1945?

Back in my teens, a Seventh Day Adventist said that to me. I got the better deal in life.

“Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or ignorance, or greed.

That word is “Nazi.” Nobody cares about their motives anymore.

They joined what they joined. They lent their support and their moral approval. And, in so doing, they bound themselves to everything that came after. Who cares any more what particular knot they used in the binding?”

Not here yet for me, on a 6a. The article mentions the “Settings services app”, but doesn’t suggest which version reveals the feature. Mine is 1.1.0.680923945.sr.

Mine was also set to “none” in a Pixel 6a. I changed it just now.

If I get one, it’ll be in a case.

Do you believe that people should use job titles they no longer hold?

If you work in the US, NDAs tied to severance are generally illegal.

Even so, I gave my last employer the benefit of silence for the amount of time my severance would have covered in regular salary. That time is now past.
