...Or in front of it anyway.

Emma is the best subject a photographer could ask for, she loves to strike a pose,

Can't be, it's a miaonochrome printer.

 

The box is very roomy, Emma approves.

I am typing this on a Samsung Galaxy Tab with the latest LineageOS. I have flashed 6 or so Android devices by now, have never bricked one. I did have to reinstall the factory firmware on one after discovering that it did *not" support VoLTE, so it was good for everything except being a phone.

That said, it is quite possible to brick your device. If you are reasonably comfortable with CLI commands (I used Linux for all, no idea if its even possible on Windows), can follow instructions, and observe small anomalies, you should be fine. The problems usually start when one step of the procedure doesn't quite match what it says...

Also, you are probably going to forego the Google App Store. There are several FOSS app installers, F-Droid is one.

Lineage is great. I have had zero stability problems. With the officially supported devices, you get regular updates, the update process is simple and reliable. YMMV with the unofficial build.

She does not throw up much, and we don't have a carpet, but, yes. Must be careful to only have cat safe (and not valuable) plants around, they will nibble on them.

 

She likes to hang out in the palm tree.

Not putting my hand in there, that's for sure.

 

Cat in the Box. about to pop out... In the tunnel again, except this time she's ready to attack.

 

...As cats do.

That's her sister Lizzie. When she vocalizes, it's always an exclamation.

"There's a strange cat outside!"

"I hate the vacuum cleaner, could you not?!"

 

Working at home, sitting in my office chair. Emma comes in, gives me a quick tail rub around the legs, I reach down and pet her once, and she walks out.

She does this a few times a day. I'm not sure if she's reassuring me, or herself. I guess it doesn't really matter. ❤️

 

It's sort of like a box...

I have two cats. They have taught me: "you do you":
Lizzie sweeps the floor around the food bowls with her paws after eating. One can't be too neat.
Emma collects little rugs and rags at her favorite scratching pad. I really can't think of a motive for this.

Background: I haven't used weed in decades, I have no personal interest in its legal status.

I can't think of a single bad thing that has happened. People are more open about smoking, you can smell it in the street sometimes. I live in a tourist destination, there are ads everywhere for dispensaries. I assume getting high is at least part of the attraction for visitors.

Also, I assume it has had a negative effect on illegal drugs - why bother? - but I wouldn't know anyway.

Yes, I supported it at the time, have not changed my view.

 

Mornings this time of year, I go around the house opening the windows, and they always follow me and want to check each one out.

She knows it, too. She usually does her best "Oh, do you like me?" look, like this, when she catches you looking at her.

[–] multicolorKnight@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

She really likes boxes, too...

We can adapt one of theirs, how about "Tamp the dirt down" by Elvis Costello?

Excellent, please do, Elon. Arguably he has never been in politics, he just bought off Trump to get a job.

 

PayPay, in particular, seems a good target for consumer action. Just saying...

 

Maybe this is too nerdy for this group. I got an OpenWRT ONE router, replaced the old TP-Link one I had. The bad press got to me. The new one is fast, I could not believe how much faster things like downloading files is now.

The worst part was that I had picked out a complicated password with lots of punctuation, and typing that on phones and on-screen keyboards for TVs and game consoles was painful.

Also I pinged Google, and got an IPv6 response for the first time.

 

I can't figure out why: usually it's because I've been doing some dirty job, working on the car, planting, etc, but I have not been doing any of those things.
