So I'm aware that there's a problem with "just planting trees and expecting everything to work out". Things like growing wrong trees.

But I assume they're planting native trees, so what exactly is the problem?

The signal doesn't have to take down everything. Just a critical mass to take the world down. For example, if it couldn't get the hospital, it could get the power companies nearby. Or take down the next town over and overrun the functional town.

I'm pretty sure his elevated privilege was the gun (or bomb or whatever, it's been a minute since I read it).

The funder probably got to chose where the money went. And Kern wanted a monkey planet. I think the goal was to establish communication with them.

I think they found people were living there, and IIRC, that's how the book ends, with them headed back to earth.

I can't speak for the military thing. I don't remember it well enough.

What didn't make sense? Magic potion makes evolution fast.

Designed for monkeys, but monkeys didn't make it to the planet

Will this happen to Chromium apps? I use vanadium

Verifiably, at that. On device only. Works without play services. Works without internet (doesn't even request internet permissions).

Also open source.

Pokemon ROGUE EX a ROM hack to turn Pokémon into a rogue like (or lite or whatever). You reset to home everytime you lose all Pokémon and you earn money and get new Pokemon to start with. It's a lot of fun. I beat the second gym, is as far as I am.

Hey. Some of my best conversations have taken place in an elevator.

But yeah, I'm not worth talking to

This is important for everyone to hear regularly. Thank you

Honestly, I'm not sure how I'd feel about a phone was qi2. Until a phone is built was an easily replaceable chassis and screen, I'm going to put a case on it.

I got a magnetic case for my phone and it works just fine.

Also, not sure if this is a problem for those with a phone magnet, but my magnet is already like 1/3 as powerful as new. Still strong enough, but could be stronger.

I've been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that's hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.

Now I think it's time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I'm thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?

 
 

I recently made a post asking about getting spotify cheaper via vpn.

My question to everyone: how do you decide what to download?

Do you just grab everything, do you use last fm, do you erase music that you never listen to?

 

Spotify wants me to have a card from said county. I read that you can use PayPal, but they want a phone number from that country.

Any advice?

Edit: I'm aware that there are a lot of solutions to get it for free. I'm aware that I can just download my music.

Currently, I'm running running navidrome for my downloaded music and x manager Spotify for myself.

My wife has an iPhone. I don't want to download her music. But she's paying full price for Spotify.

I also like to listen from my work desktop. I have administrative rights, but it would be really dumb to download something like this to my work machine.

In several countries, I can get Spotify for like $30 dollars a year for 2 people. This price would be worth moving to legal. Especially for her, since she's paying $11 right now

 

Thinking about buying the fairphone 4. Coming from oneplus 8, which is almost unbrickable, thanks to an EDL MSM tool.

Obviously, I'd be careful. But am I likely to brick a fp4 by ROM hopping? Is it dangerous enough that I should not go into buying this phone with the intention of installing a ROM?

Mainly, I want to play with Ubuntu Touch, PostmarketOS, and maybe sailfish. But I figure if those don't quite work out, I'll land on Lineage with MicroG or /e/, since that'll be stock fp4 in the US.
