Amazing journaling/personal information managment software. I love that once you understand how it works, you can journal however you like and it "maps" out how your connect concepts. Not exaggerating when I say it helped me piece a lot of concepts and personal themes together

I don't really have a stake in this race because it's quite a dilemma (personally I like the idea of Graphene supporting more devices with varying security promises) but I'd imagine between buying a 2nd hand Pixel or exclusively using Google services, Google would rather people do the latter.

They simply make more out of data gathering and GrapheneOS sidessteps that, so as a user I'm leaning towards the former so I can more readily degoogle myself.

Great visual on how sparsely populated Australia is.

There was a time when the Google apps just worked, the applications were optimised for UX. Maybe I've just only noticed it now but the directions (and assistant in general) aren't as useful, reliable, and filled with sponsored stuff.

what do you use for navigation and how does it compare?

My first thought was literally "man, what are they going to do when they run out of numbers?!"...

May be a minor bug but was a big fix for me! Thank you MV-GH and everyone involved for making this happening in a speedy manner :)

From the article.

The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.

These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite's completion on Tuesday.

Honestly it's a necessity at times. Though I found certain activities elicit the same "thoughtlessness" that I get when I meditatw such as motorcycling. No time to think about anything else but the road and the bike, making it ironically one of the most relaxing activities I do.

There's pros and cons., though personally I used this calendar for my fiction writing.

I'd like to find a way to sync the lunar cycle and solar cycles since the earth's, moon's, and revolutions around the sun are soooo close (5 days off) plus it'd make sense to keep in theme with the Babylonian-esque base-60 system (where 60 is readily divided and a factor of 360 days, 12 months, 30 days, etc).

Which is pretty much what the Ancient Egyptians did.

*edit: pretty much have 5 "fake days" and add a sixth "fake" day to account for the gradual desync.

It's going to be weaker in caffeine content but still stronger tasting. This is ideal if you are trying to reduce daily caffeine intake or just like the taste of strong coffee.

Some people still need a kick of espresso but don't want/need 3 shots worth in a single drink.

House was also my first exposure to him, brilliant acting. RIP
