I'm not good around kids, so I made a decision to be without children pretty early on. So, to answer your question, I guess it feels... normal? It's hard to describe in more detail, because I don't have a reference to compare it to.

That said, I've seen what kind of struggles - emotional, financial or otherwise - my kid-having friends and family have been going through and I would be a liar if I said I never thought "I'm glad I don't have to go through this shit" more than on one occasion.

Android: no clue, F-Droid started updating my apps automatically after an OS update, which is nice. My phone isn't rooted either. Linux: About once a week.

In addition to the above, they also use green energy, if you care about that sort of thing.

Tell me about it. Now they're just Steam Key Reseller #46498.

GRIP Combat Racing. It's one of those racing games where you have to restart a lot, because recovering from a mistake isn't really an option, but it's still super fun.

Yes, I am and before you ask: no, I will not help you fix your grandma's PC.

I haven't read a whole lot, but so far: Madame Bovary. We had to read it in high school, because it was culturally significant and because it caused a large amount of controversy when it came out due to its subject matter. When I was reading it though, it felt like I was reading a literary version of every TV soap opera ever. It was a slog to get through and I was bored and annoyed throughout.

Seriously. Didn't they make billions last year? That number should be much, much higher for Zuck & Co. to actually start giving a fuck.

Not really sure. Somebody wire me an obscene amount of money and I'll report back. Probably.

Good for them. That's what sick days are for.

Check out mister Mainstream over here. The rest of us snooty OS connoisseurs use Collapse OS.

Ugh. Then I guess it's time to reconsider my registrar again.
