Such a good idea!

Same. I think I got one on accident too.

I did not do well:

“I scored 9/28 on https://jsdate.wtf/ and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.”

Ive been a dev for a long time. Im glad im not doing javascript all that much anymore.

Yep

That’s a good combo.

I’ve seen others get the battery replaced, but it heavily depends on the phone. Samsungs can be pretty cheap from what I hear.

My pixel phone is a ticking bomb.

You can put other OSs on the fairphone instead of their defaults.

But yeah it’s frustrating no matter what there is a downside of just owning a stupid phone.

And some phones already have replaceable batteries.

It’s so silly, we are going back around.

I have this phone (6a). I put in the survey to get the 100 but so far I haven’t seen a single $. Meanwhile I’m sitting on a fire hazard.

If they just made replaceable batteries, this wouldn’t be an issue. My next phone is going to be the fairphone.

Search is unusable because of shorts. Also I want the ability to turn them off.

So Canada, how are they?

Super easy. You can also do basic triangulation with some specialty hardware.

Meshtastic with 3 jumps would be stretching for actual communication. Plus Bluetooth is even worse for security. Direct connection might be a better way to use the device.

I’ve had meshtastic for about 2 ish years now and its still being worked on.

The more experience you have, the more BS your able to smell. Sometimes I marvel at how succinct other people can be fixing an issue with amazing docs. Compared to my old “wizard spell” shenanigans that solve the issue, but only on a Tuesday, full moon, goats, etc…

Its hard to solve issues, even harder to keep the solution working after a certain amount of time.

Yeah I would probably pack up and just keep my code to myself if that happened. Im tired after work, and I throw out my code to be helpful and give back. Last thing I need is making -$$ and less time for myself by figuring out how to work with yum or whatever.

I think certain regions of the US do have them and others do not at all.

For example, where I am at, I have only met one other person in real life that has one. But I do hear about a lot of my friends on the east coast having them. Dunno.

Nice!! Woo hoo!

Interesting: Activityhub and bluesky integration out the door. Thats a first (I think?)

They probably just use Facebook + LinkedIn or other public databases. I remember a project on hackaday of someone who did something similar and found with some basic programming, it’s definitely possible to get some matches. But that was years ago.

Yep they inherited it from Sun. JavaScript the name.
