I prefer up:

1. I get to see if the water is actually leaving and stops flowing when it’s supposed to, which often happens not to be the case
2. It’s easier to put it up than down for me

No. 2 might not make much sense, but I don’t like touching the seat. It’s far easier to put it up with the side of my sole than do the opposite.

Stop filling, stop filling, STOP FILLING, STOP FILLING, gluck, oof.

There’s one track with an interesting name, could also be a pun on fur + pursuit, but nevertheless, it’s titled “Hot Fursuit”.

I’ll add something:

For the DNS I use NextDNS. They allow for control and monitoring. I recommend not using the block page. It took me months to figure out what was (exactly - I didn’t see the app behave like that before) eating my data, but resolving to IP with different service makes certain apps go nuts. For example, NetMonster was trying to make connection every second. Also some apps don’t seem to care about HTTPS and just proceed to show whatever is shoved at them.
Without block page, they get 0.0.0.0 and won’t send garbage to NextDNS.
I used the RethinkDNS firewall app to track this down.
I checked my screenshots, it was 2.3KB per request. With 24/7 on data, that’s 5.9GB/month of garbage. Yikes. And that’s just 1 app.

For DPI, above or equal to 600, you get tablet UI. This changes layout of some apps and gives you app icons and app drawer next to navigation buttons, if you’re not using gestures. I usually use 705dp. A bit of extreme for most.
Oh, and reportedly high DPI settings used to cause boot loop on some MIUI devices, but it can cause glitches on some other devices (broken navigation on Moto G54 5G when I tried).

That’s about as good as e-mail address. Bank account number is somewhere you can send to.
Maybe, though I am not sure, someone could create a request for Direct Debit payment, but without authorization that’s all it is, “please give money”.

Aren’t there some other fees? Some smaller shops even outright ask if you don’t have cash instead.

Because the archive link gets around the paywall. Unless you don’t see the paywall because it doesn’t apply to your region, but I only see the requirement to subscribe.
However the archive link does work for me.

Because I find them useful.
And also I never pay for paid software (at least not directly).

“Stay tuned for part 2”

I think this is just for news and articles.

I wonder if there are spikes at 1980-01-01, 1990-01-01 and 2000-01-01.

Uuuuh…
To be fair, I am dumb.

Huh, that’s possible, thanks.

It’s not stomach acid. Hell, you can sort of use spit as lube, I am sure it’s fine.

Because it’s “no stupid questions”.

It works well for recalling something you already know, whether it be computer or human language. What’s a word for… what’s a command/function that does…

I only have experience with Plasma, but on X11 when I tap on the screen, it emulates a mouse click where I tap. And it also does when I swipe my finger, like holding a clicked mouse and moving the pointer. And gestures don’t work, though I think that one can be fixed.

Wayland just works. When I want to select text, press and hold like on a phone. When scrolling something, I just swipe it like on a phone (except for LibreOffice, that one is an absolute mess on Wayland). Especially nice with drawing programs. Stylus acts just like what I described with finger on X11 - it controls mouse pointer.
In effect this means that with fingers I can move around and zoom, while with stylus I can draw or select text.

And then GTK 4.20 breaks Rnote and I can only use it via Xwayland…

Anyway, for a touchscreen device, I had more luck with Wayland.

I thought I’d be fine, that I’d buy the other 16GB stick later. Now is later, I am screwed. I had to enable the use of ALT-SysRq-f to manually invoke OOM-killer because I often run out of RAM.

8GB just feels like way too little for a new laptop. Well, maybe the absolutely cheap ones, but “mid-range”, no.

It’s crazy. A bit over a year ago I got a refurbished ThinkPad for €180 with 1x16GB of RAM. Now that RAM costs around €120.

I prefer Wayland because I use a 2-in-1 ThinkPad. No thanks X11, I don’t want a click on touch mouse pointer.

Last time I went to therapist.
I only remembered at work. I tried to text him, but didn’t get a response, and I really struggle with phone calls. I don’t know why. It’s even worse than talking in person for me.
Like, I’ll go to some lengths to avoid phone calls.
My favorite is turning off VoLTE/VoNR/VoWiFi and 2G/3G leaving no way to connect phone calls.
OR, after 3G shutoff leave that on. On the other party’s side the dialing will actually wait for the impossible handover, so they might not even blame my phone.
Possible outcomes (caller side):

1. (Common) “The person you are calling is not available at the moment.”
2. (Rare) Silence until disconnect during dialing
3. (Legendary) “It has not been possible to connect your call.”

I’ve also played around with conditional forwarding for this. On busy works for hang up. And my carrier seems to use a separate phone number for handling unreachable situation. Copy pasting it from “when unreachable” to “when busy” lets me pretend to be disconnected on demand. Now, it can still make people suspicious, as it usually doesn’t ring before that message.
Another one is a test phone number, but unfortunately that one is considered a regular call, so it would cost others money, but “Welcome to CARRIER_NAME network” on infinite loop is funny too.
