So, I learned that GrapheneOS doesn't support Samsung devices. That's unfortunate. Is there a decent alternative OS that I can put on my aging Samsung tablet? Support for the S Pen would be a must.
Oh gods, I've started playing #NetHack again. So much for today's productivity.
As a side note, it still annoys me that I can kill something (non-undead) and its corpse can immediately be rotten when I eat it. How exactly does that happen?
Almost just fell for a spearphishing attack. These things can be scarily convincing if you're not paying attention. It was an email purporting to be from my VPS provider saying there was a problem with my payment information.
Apart from the fact that the email address it was sent from and the site it linked to were random domains obviously not associated with my provider, the fact that when I looked at the source of the message, the image of their logo was <img src="https://en.wikipedia.org/..."> was a bit of a tip off as well.

I got one "from" a service provider.
It said I had to log in to confirm something.
My password manager didn't fill in ID and password. I was just about to do it manually when my Spidey sense wondered why.
The login address was 1 character off. Another good reason to use a pw manager.
Extremely niche #AskFedi question: can someone recommend a pen that (a) has a pointed nib (one that splays under pressure), and (b) uses ink reservoir cartridges?
I seem to be able to find dip pens with pointed nibs, and cartridge pens with tipped nibs, but cartridge pens with pointed nibs elude me.
I don't know if I'm looking for something that's technically infeasible, or just difficult to obtain.
I'd be grateful for boosts and pointers. Thanks!

@Florian Haas I was sure I'd seen this. For the life of me I can't find one though. It is a difficult to find combination, isn't it?

I'm so mad at myself right now.
I went to a routine blood work appointment. I do this every three months, so I should know the drill. I forgot the appointment card. No problem. I booked it online, so they'll have it on file. Problem is, When I reached for my wallet to get my health card, it wasn't there. They need one or the other. I had to reschedule the appointment.
Worst part? When I got home, I found my wallet in my messenger bag. I had it the whole time. 🤬

I laid down "for a quick nap" this afternoon. Just woke up. It's almost midnight.
I guess the sleep deprevation of the past week has finally caught up with me.

Our cat has had this little stuffed burrito toy since the day we picked him up from the shelter. He's never given a damn about it. Now suddenly it's his favorite toy. 🤷♂️
My favourite #ADHD quirk: forgetting what I was saying as I'm in the middle of saying it.
Just heard a kid address his group of friends he was physically seated with as "chat". Is this a thing?
Maybe I'm just old.
The question for me is whether referring to people IRL is still irony, or has it simply become part of the lexicon.
Who's the maniac that decided that radishes were edible? I think we're going to have to agree to disagree.

Been playing around with the riticulum network. It's interesting but sideband kills the shit out of my phone's battery.

In case anyone here is also using Reticulum, I can be reached at: lxmf@32f62870f2d7c418b59f1c5f9f1617e2
Don't know yet if it's something I'll use long-term, but it is at least interesting to play with for now.

Just made it to the third story. It actually made me double check what year this book was published. It shockingly parallels some recent events.

PSA: if you're using a laptop with a recent Intel CPU and running Linux, install and enable thermald if you do not have it already. you will likely notice substantial performance gains

@Krafting Can confirm. Just did the same. I didn't compare it word for word, but mine seems to have omitted the part about not ever repeating the prompt. The rest looked pretty much exactly the same.

It should come as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention that I've grown disillusioned with capitalism over the past several years. What's interesting to me though is that any time I express this publicly, there are no shortage of capitalists who falsely assert that I am claiming that communism is the ultimate solution to everything. This is a false dichotomy.
I am not saying I have the answers to the world's problems. I just have eyes to see that the emperor has no clothes.

Hey #Unix folks recommend me your favorite games that can run in the terminal that aren't:
1) the most basic boring arcade stuff like snake or missile command
2) roguelikes/dungeon crawlers (love em but there's no lack of those)
3) chess, backgammon, etc., more meaty board games sure but there's already a million easy to find ways to play chess in a terminal
edit: 4) IF, I know where to find plenty of that, forgot this one
This is for my machine with no gui so when I say terminal I mean terminal not just like "text based and looks like it'd be in a terminal maybe".

@via unreachable The one in the Debian repositories can't. It looks like ASCII (actually CP437) but they're weirdly graphical tiles.
@via unreachable I didn't have an init folder under data. I added it and got the following when I launched it, I got the following error:
Display not found and PRINT_MODE not set to TEXT, aborting.
@me it looks like Debian moved stuff around; try editing /usr/share/games/dwarf-fortress/gamedata/data/init/init.txt
Change [PRINT_MODE:2D] to [PRINT_MODE:TEXT], and you should get curses output.

It's why I've always avoided their hardware. The hardware itself is lovely, but their OS is kinda meh, and they're usually locked down.
Motorola/Lenovo, too.
