I guess disabling full screen notifications for the phone app does work, but I kinda liked the full screen notifications when I’m driving.

Thanks, I’ll check that out.

“had”

Were you able to make the alert stop?

I suppose I could try that. I was hoping for an easier solution.

The phone is really great other than this one annoying “feature,” especially for the price.

Actually, I already do that. I have two two steam deck docks, one in the living room and one in the office. I still like having the dedicated device for streaming though. Especially since I tend to download movies/shows sometimes. Can’t be filling up the steam deck storage with non-games!

I also sometimes use the deck in handheld mode while my husband watches TV.

I bought a mini PC and plugged it into the TV. I use a “wireless mini keyboard with trackpad” to control it. My husband and I have been using it for years. Beelink’s mini Ryzen PCs are quite solid in my experience. I have Linux on mine. Firefox with ublock origin. No ads, like ever.

Haha, yes, everyone else is trying to ruin my fun. I can fly sometimes, but not for long, and it’s a real struggle to stay airborne.

I’m glad I’m not alone. My husband barely dreams at all.

By the purest definition (being aware that you are dreaming), I lucid dream nearly every night. I never did anything special to achieve this.

But, it’s not as fun as they make it sound. At some point, my mind started resisting me. Sure, I can do anything I want… sometimes. However, most of the time, anything I change goes back to the way is was immediately.

I also used to be able to wake myself up while lucid dreaming. For instance, maybe I would be aware that I am napping, and I need to wake up. So, I would. But, my mind now resists that as well. When I try to wake myself up, sometimes I just wake up into another dream. And, for whatever reason, I am not aware that I am dreaming in the new dream.

None of this upsets me too much, but it is annoying. I think it may be related to some sort of mild, generalized sleeping disorder I have. I experience sleep paralysis and insomnia episodes, but they’ve never been frequent or upsetting enough for me to seek treatment.

Very rare? It’s never happened. It’s considered impossible. The fetus has no way to get nutrients outside of the uterus. Maybe one day we will develop a method of transferring the fetus into the uterus or an artificial womb. Maybe. One day.

Edit: never happened in the fallopian tubes. It can attach other places but the survival rate is 1% or less.

The APK for F-droid, because I just got a new phone.

I disagree. He said “I think [she smelled my fart].”

I absolutely believe that. I believe he thought that. I also believe he is stupid af.

Hmmm. I don’t believe I’ve tried pirate IPTV. What are the best pirate IPTV sites? So I can avoid them, of course.

We could always make one up. Zungenfreude, tongue joy.

Der Spruch „Vielseitig” hat mir immer Zungenfreude bereitet.

Saying “versatile” always gave me tongue-joy.

Edit: it’s pronounced “tsoong-en-froy-duh”

The Wikipedia app has had dark mode for a while. Plus dark mode in Firefox works fine with no extensions.

I’m currently reading “All the Knowledge in the World: A History of the Encyclopedia” by Simon Garfield. It mentions a similar thought held by some around the time of the creation of the Encyclopedia Brittanica. (Late 1700s, if I recall correctly)

There were too many books, and they were being printed by just anyone. Who needs a really long dictionary, anyway?

There’s an android version of this, which is apparently foss. I have no idea if it’s good. I don’t even play poker.

Edit: I see now that someone else already posted this.

I actually sleep better after reading about serial killers, but that’s probably because I stayed up late binging Wikipedia articles on them.

I decided to fully convert to Linux on my living room PC because I was convinced these random display drops I was getting were being caused by Windows. (I was right.)

I had a drive that I wanted to leave alone, because it had my videos and music and such. I wanted to try a new (to me) distro, so I just started using high rated ones I found on distro watch. The first two I tried (I honestly forget which) would NOT leave my video drive alone during installation (even with advanced options). The third one was MX, and it successfully installed while leaving my video drive alone. I liked that. I am used to xfce, and I like some of the custom little tweaks that MX adds to it, like easily making custom folder themes. I like that it can install .deb files and pretty much everything I’ve tried to run so far has worked.

So, yeah, that’s why I like MX. I have since installed it on my laptop, my office PC, and my husband is dual booting it. It even runs his v-tube software, which blew us away. I know most of this isn’t unique to MX, but it just seems to work really well for us.

I have this mantra that I say to myself. I think it’s from Tibetan monks, but I heard it on an NPR interview.

"May we be victorious over our fears.

May we be happy without hope.

May we be of benefit to all."

The fear here is my fear of doing the thing. The lack of hope is what I feel because I will not just fucking do the thing. The benefit to all is what happens when I actually do the thing.

I know it sounds super depressing, but it helps me… sometimes.
