From what I remember, some of those airgapped environments still use windows XP, so they’re not bothered too much by this

Tumbleweed is a rolling release distro while Kubuntu has point releases. I’m not sure which is better for new users. I’m leaning towards rolling, it stays up to date.

Same layout for me, I hadn’t used it in a while, feels like it wastes some screen real estate this way.

Preface this by saying it has been a few years. I used to have a windows phone and when the platform died I used a “dumb” phone for a year until my wife told me to get an Android device.

I was using a Nokia ngage qd. It’s a small phone that has a peculiar form factor, shaped like a controller. It was made as a gaming handheld, so it has a bunch of gaming apps and over the year a lot of Homebrew stuff. It definitely came from a different era. You need to explicitly lock the phone otherwise it would only lock the keys to prevent pocket dialing. Locking the keys does not require a code to unlock, only the manual locking does iirc.

Because it has games, it was still a great time killer in situations. It’s has a small proprietary jack, but I have the original earphones so could listen to music (no mp3, but ogg).

Biggest pet peeve was not being able to sync my calendar. It uses a protocol I couldn’t find a setup for. Device also utilized a WAP browser, which is useless now.

Calling and texting: great. Games: great, sometimes crashy or won’t load. Homebrew: hit and miss, depending.

The pinephone has slightly better specs, is equally outdated, but the price point is a lot better.

I thought they gambled on the hydrogen car?

“Santa Claus” doesn’t come down the chimneys but his helpers do, and he doesn’t come in the night after Christmas Eve, but the night between 5 and 6 December.

Here, Christmas is people giving each other presents. Santa Claus is only a thing in commercials. I’m sure some families try to follow the American version for their kids, but i don’t know any. We don’t put up Christmas decorations until Sinterklaas has left, but that unwritten rule is slowly disappearing.

Sir, a second paper plane has hit the presents.

Ha! I knew it. Thanks for confirming :-)

The Pagemaster, so underrated. Great story about overcoming fear.

Look up the original Tik-Tak from the BRTN. it’s non spoken animation with shapes, sounds and music. Great for toddlers. All the music is ingrained in me :D

Other good show from the BRTN was “Er was eens”. They are split up in 4 main "seasons: de mens, de aarde, de ruimte and het leven.

History, how earth was formed and evolved, space and human biology.

Dutch and French, I’m not sure if it was ever dubbed English, but my kids watched this on repeat.

Remove the nightmare episode from pingu until they are older, that one caused some issues 🫩

This is not the original picture, I believe it was a skeleton model originally.

I use Jerboa. It’s closest to the app I used for Reddit (Joey) after a few tweaks.

Flat list of posts, small thumbnails on the side. Clean interface. Default sort is all top day.

Let’s see how this plays out with windows 11 😄

.ml was the “default” when I joined. Been eyeing mbin, had an account on kbin too, but sadly it went offline.

My screen is wider than it is tall. I have more horizontal screen real estate than vertical, why are you forcing me to waste vertical space? I wanna move it to the left again…

Is that Zuck’s metaverse? Probably not, too much detail.

Yes, definitely and I do run into that when I search my history

I’m not sure what you mean. I gave 3 different commands…
