Sure! As long as it's nixpkgs.

I am actually considering getting an EV for transporting my Cello :/

It's unfortunately not possible to reliably transport it by bike (strong winds, icy conditions on my rather hilly ride to the city). Makes me miss out on re-joining an orchestra.

Everything else (groceries, work,...) would still be by bike, just... That.

That's great. Hope other states follow suite.

Yeah, true. I think there's no way around being pushy/almost manipulative.

"I fortunately no longer have WhatsApp. Especially with things concerning our children, I would NOT trust Facebook with that. I am completely open to using something else, does not have to be Signal - do you use any secure and private messenger apps where we can create a group?"

It's an uphill battle for sure. And you have to think about and set your own limits. I hate using WA, but for some contacts, it's better than having NO contact.

Hm, I don't have too many of those. The one large one I have was on Signal already, but that's mostly luck.

If it's a >10 people group that has already been established on WA, you're probably out of luck. If a group has not been established yet, your best bet is probably to be super proactive: "Yes, good idea, let's do make a group! Here, I've set up the Singal group, just scan this QR code to join! Oh, you don't have signal? Oh, nevermind, it's super quick to set up, and then you can simply join via the QR! I'd really hate to see you not be part of the group chat, but of course it's up to you if you want to join..."

Most of them. Family is fully on Matrix/Signal/Threema. Close friends are all on Signal. Some acquaintances are still WA-only, but I've stopped telling people that I have WA/Telegram, so new contacts are Signal/Matrix/Threema only.

Yeah!! A house only has speculative value! There's no fundamental value in a house! Just like bitcoin, if you can't sell your house, it's worthless!

.. .what do you mean, "a place to live in"?

The title gave me a stroke

What's wrong with the pillows? I only have one (+ my SO has 1, but those two are not stacked)
