When I was your age, we called them Micro$oft. Too bad there were no extensions in Netscape Navigator.

My first thought was to flush the toilet whenever you needed warmer water. I used to rent an apartment where I had to turn on cold water in the sink to get hot enough water in the shower.

Brave. Not sure about the version number, but it's been working fine.

Web browser. I only have two other social media accounts, on Reddit and LinkedIn, and I use a browser for these as well. Even if a dedicated app worked in my OS, my phone doesn't have enough memory to install it.

Have school-aged kids. Getting up early will become the best part of the day. The silent first coffee before all hell breaks loose.

I'm still running Jelly Bean. I know that I could get a more modern OS with Lineage OS, but for my very limited purposes the old Android is good enough.

In August it will be 15 years since I purchased the phone I'm typing this reply on, Samsung Galaxy S2. All I do is calling, basic browsing, and checking the weather, so I don't really feel like I need a new phone. Battery is replacable, so until the screen is broken, this phone will serve its purpose.

Cassidy from The Preacher would like to have a word...

I installed Office 97 from 49 floppies on a bunch of office computers. We didn't have CD-rom drives, so we requested the floppies from Microsoft (this was a free of charge service). Took me a week. Got into graphic novels, as I was waiting for each floppy to load.

I've been in the US two months ago, in a very Democratic city, socialising with only very anti-Trump people. Not a single one cared what happened outside US borders. They were upset about the inflation, cost of living, loss of privacy and civil liberties, etc. There may be some who do care about the US foreign policy, but unless thousands of Americans start returning in body bags, there won't be enough critical mass to stage any revolt or even protests worthy of Trump's attention.

My company (130,000 employees) sticks to 24H2. IT wouldn't approve the 25H2. Don't know whether the refusal to upgrade hurts Microsoft in any way, but if it does, I think we're big enough to be on their radar, and perhaps they talk to our IT about concerns and complaints we may have.

Cape Town set itself back with how they mishandled this year's cancellation. I also don't think there's any chance of a new women record. The rest looks like pretty safe predictions.

 

Looks like I'm spoiled for choice. Temu has exactly the same for 11.29. Not that I'd be purchasing from either place; it's just another example of Amazon's enshittification.

 

Waiting for 30 minutes to access the Web site of the Road Safety Authority, the Irish equivalent of the DMV. Too bad they don't have physical offices where I could queue personally...

 

Banska Štiavnica is a UNESCO World Heritage site, partially because of the Calvary. These photos are from my personal archive. Come think of it, I should begin updating the photos. Since I took them, the rest of the Calvary, including the Upper Church, have been restored. Last year, they started working on the footpaths to the top, which should be the last stage of the project.

 

Welcome to the Slovakia community at lemmy.world. Feel free to discuss anything related to Slovakia or of any interest to Slovaks. Just be mindful of the following:

  • Janosik was Slovak
  • Real bryndza is from Slovakia
  • Kofola is superior to Coke or Pepsi
