@chris They know a recession is coming and flying will not be a priority for many of us. Another sign.

@chris I hope a phone like Fairphone that we can build.

And works in North America 😄

@chris Same here, reason I come in early. It would take 2 hours if I wanted to be here for 9am.

Reminds me of the Nintendo DS. I sure miss mine.

@chris There are the podcasting 2.0 apps I hear about, they have a desktop web app and mobile app. Web solutions seem to be good if you're jumping from your different platforms.

I use Antennapod on my phone and do 99% of my listening on it.

@chris I can't connect to the site, must be popular!

I'll bring my Randix HG-40P and you bring your vinyl records, man.

Is anyone using the Zen browser? I recall there was a time when I saw it here daily but haven't heard about it in awhile. I'm curious if it is still a recommended Firefox alternative.

I did try it awhile ago on my work Windows laptop for a day but couldn't get into it. Have there been any big updates?

@killyourfm I could sit with my thoughts in this spot all day and read.

@jcrabapple Of course, it did give Ready Player One vibes 😆 Though having your story character show up at the door was a surprise!

@chris Hoping this doesn't last long enough that citizens lose their jobs on both sides of the border.

@killyourfm @tom Hope the box size being bigger is an indicator of manuals making a comeback! 🕺🏻

I've been online for decades. I've used many services. I've seen them come and go.

Know this, even if you find a nice area of the internet for yourself, I guarantee it will not last. Nothing lasts forever.

@chris Not today. It's already been a Monday of Windows. I'm so done.

@killyourfm Like this.

Sony Engineer: "Ok, so hear me out..."

Sony CEO: "Whatever. Just build it!"

I miss the old Sony when they would sell hardware that looked like concepts. I miss the Sony Store in malls.

@killyourfm There's even a cheaper Sony PSP handheld market I hear!

@chris I go back and forth, love hate relationship with tech. Do what's best in your situation.

@chris Keep the iPhone around for those dire moments with apps you need. Or have a throw away Google account.

@chris it's possible to turn off or install GrapheneOS
