  • Yep, I think I still have 3-5 other clients installed that I haven’t used in several months. I bounced around more in the wefwef days and a bit in the early Voyager days just to make sure I wasn’t missing something even greater. But this one always felt right and had some settings that I loved.

    This beautiful FOSS app that collects no data about me is by far the most used “social media” app on my phone. More than all the others combined, most likely.

    Edit to add: Today is the day I’m gonna go find that tip button… and done!




  • the American family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children

    That would be a really nice notion if they actually meant it. But they have no interest in helping or supporting all American families in any way, and definitely not doing things to protect or help children.

    But if they don’t help ANY families, and actively hurt the families that look the wrong way, the rubes eating up their BS will feel a little more superior in a relative sense while ignoring that they are still worse off in the absolute sense.

    I think the “more to it” might be significantly crazier than the timing thing.

    Or ears have unique complex shapes that attenuate certain frequencies and bounce sound around in complex ways depending on the direction they are coming from. And our brains instantly process all that stuff too. It’s why our sense of hearing isn’t just on a flat plane around our head.

    We have rocks that do math, transmit electricity, and fly us through the sky.

    When you get reductive about the natural sciences it all just boils down to applied physics which is applied mathematics.

    But engineering and technology? Applied geology.

    (/s because I’m not going to acknowledge that geology is applied chemistry and so on)
