Don’t have to tell me, I just tried summoning quillbeasts while looking at health bars

I use NixOS, FWIW

Google is the Google of Linux. They actually make their own distro

Spent a ton of time trying to install GrapheneOS because web USB doesn’t work in snap version of chrome. How about letting me install the normal deb version? Nope, can’t let the user choose

The piece of paper is basically much more likely to survive in a corner barring a fire. I have crumpled pieces of paper from 20 years ago. My PATA hard drive… I don’t even have a computer with that connector

She owns one home now and one plot of land. She doesn’t own multiple unoccupied homes. She’s also my mother, not my grandmother

They have social security and some of them have savings. My mom is planning to retire in West Virginia and she’s already planning on selling her current residence to build a house there. She chose a low property tax state on purpose.

At this point she would only receive social security and start to go through her savings to live. You want to start charging her federal taxes the moment her property is worth $1 more than what she bought it for, even though she’s on fixed income.

I remember sending a Facebook message on my feature phone. I had to type with the num pad and it took minutes to load the page, but it I was successful.

I think people are forgetting that feature phones were connected to the internet back in the day

Then I can’t message anyone since people use messaging clients like signal and not actual texts
