I must be old - it's WordPerfect to me.

India has 17% of the world's population - on a scale like this image, that's not far off "about half"! It looks right to me.

And, F-Droid shows apps that were installed from the Play Store.

It blows my mind that they need to do this with physical phones. I would have thought they could virtualise/emulate everything needed.

What's going to stop you from taking over?

Sane, rational people don't want to take over anything. We just want to vote for reasonable governments, let said government get on with governing and get on with our lives. We don't want to be bombarded with all this political bullshit everywhere we turn - MAGA stickers and Fuck Biden stickers, you can't open any comment thread on any public social media post without some idiot blaming Biden for the most ridiculous things.

Since the growth of the internet and social media these right wing nazi fucktards have figured out they can weaponise their followers to take over anything at any level and with your attitude to this site that's exactly what I predict will happen there.

I'm curious if this relies on the fact that we're looking at on pixelated screens to work. But not so curious that I'll print it out to check.

That one hurts. So much time wasted playing fucking solitaire.

I think Kodi was amazing when it was XBMC and the only real option. It seems to be falling behind now though :-( I moved to Jellyfin a couple of years ago.

Well, that wasn't a huge investment :-) I'm in..

I understand I've got LOTS to learn. I think I'll start by installing something new that I'm looking at with docker and get comfortable with something my users (family..) are not yet relying on.

That's kinda where I'm at, but I already have kids, and now they're having kids. I worry about them.

I'm writing this from a hotel room paid for by Air Canada - but wow did I have to fight for it!

First flight of two leg journey was delayed and the original announcement was that it was delayed due to a mechanical issue. I knew I had a tight connection so checked with Air Canada staff - they assured me that if I missed my connection they would put me in a hotel until the next available flight. After about an hour delay they announced that they had discovered bird strike damage and we would be delayed further.

When I arrived at the connection airport I was told there would be no hotel as the delay was due to a bird strike and therefore out of their control. I was tired and cranky and went full "Karen mode" asked to speak to managers, explained what I was told at the original airport and finally got a hotel voucher.

I wonder if there is publicly available data on the incidence of aircraft bird strikes? I wonder if they are increasing? I'm not cynical..

I have the same experience and always assumed it was caused by bowel contents putting pressure on the urethra in/around the prostate. I'd be interested to learn if there's anything more to it than that and if it's a uniquely male experience.. (I assume you're male?)
