The only justification for its having it on the right side I can think of is that the button ends up exactly where you drag to answer a call, so the answer button turns to an end call button.

Definitely not as passive as you want, more passive in the same was as browsing reddit on the toilet

I’d like to lean in a different direction, educational games.

Duolingo is basically a game to my brain and doesn’t take too much effort. In the end I probably won’t be fluent in any language this way, but it’s interesting enough just getting the basic grasps of syntax in other languages and expanding my vocabulary to a degree

Thanks! Replying so I remember to check them out tomorrow, but I’ll probably eventually relent and get unlimited too. With how much I apparently use it, probably worth it in the end 😅

I’m extremely happy with the results on Kagi. Setting up my own ‘page-rank’ with their search customizations is a godsend to get rid of any unwanted sites and promoted the sources I know I’ll come back to.

I’m a bit turned off the pricing though, especially since last month I blew through 1000 searches before the end of last month so currently back to Google, but frustrated by every second search or so.

The case is Ackerman v. Pink, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, No. 1:23-cv-06952.

Good luck Ackerman, you're gonna need it to go up against Apple in a New York court.

In a drizzle or similar, I bike with a weatherproof jacket. I take the bus or tram if I have to get anywhere in bad weather, but more often I probably don't leave my home if the weather is bad or there's a storm brewing.

Disclaimer: I live alone in a major metropolitan area and mostly work from home.

To the point, ideology is, to a degree, a modern equivalent of religion. It provides a framework to view history and the future, dos and don’t, utopia to strive for, often comes with own set of (almost)religious practices and idolization. It even requires a degree of faith in utopia being achievable. I don’t think it’s that outrageous of a statement.

My thoughts immediately went to boy bands but then again, K-pop is probably the modern equivalent so you're probably right?

Linux is a moving target

Could you clarify what you mean with this?

I lost my home to a fire a couple of years back, would't recommend only paper copies of 2FA codes. Recovery was a lengthy process.
