We even passed a bill where I live (Washington state), but Congress hasn't approved it so we're stuck. Wonder what would happen if we just did it anyway. What is the U.S. government going to do, send the cops after our state legislature?

I have a north-facing apartment, and the super-early sunset makes me sad.

The batteries in my Logitech wireless trackball and keyboard last several months to more than a year. The keyboard in particular lasts really long. I have these on my work computer, so they are getting heavy use.

"No Country for Old Men" feels like a movie from a previous era.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man.

I use Element. I've tested a few others but have stuck with Element.

I also use Beeper, which at its core is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You actually do create a Matrix account for it, and I have tested messages between Element and Beeper though it has limited features.

I use Beeper to aggregate messaging from various platforms and for easy availability of text messages on my PC. It has a specific "Note to self" section that I've found useful for messaging myself.

At its core, Beeper is just a Matrix client with some pre-packaged bridges for common services (including SMS, MMS, RCS messages). You could probably do the same thing with an Element client.

Create a problem, sell a solution

Under the guise of "innovation"

Millennial here. I've definitely noticed a shortage of people entering my technical field. Great for job security, and I'm treated very well at work. But this is going to be a problem down the road.

It's sad that they keep trying to make PCs more like phones. I want phones to be more like PCs.

They also keep taking away features, like removable storage (microSD) and headphone jacks. There's a few phones that have them, but it gets more difficult to find them as time goes on.
