Yeah, me neither... I moved from an 8088 (8Mhz) to a 386dx (40Mhz) directly to a Pentium 90Mhz.... Skipped the 486...

Tank you, I had a few more partners both close and long distances. and ended up marrying the girl that was working the desk next to mine. So I guess I was fed up with LDR after all ...

Nope, no female pope...

Fixed that, you are correct.

Still, I don't care if they are gay or straight communist or fascist, black yellow white or gray. Software is a tool and its apolitical.

I don't care, i care for the tech. I don't need to make friends with the devs of the tech nor give them my money.

They have different political views than me, yes. Does it affect the tech they develop? Not in my opinion.

I am king older than most posts i think. It was... different somehow. You would call and text, mostly call. I remember subscribing to one of the first ever mobile offers for "couples" where you had something like 1000 minutes of free calls and 100 free SMSs between only two specific phone numbers (of the same oprator, ofc), and that was amazing. Before that, it was expensive inter-city calls on landlines, because mobiles where too expensive.

I also remember writing letters, yes, paper letters, like twice a week. I have copied them all and kept also the replies, it will be fun times for the kids (... will they still be able to read handwrite?).

I took an awfull lot of trains in that year long... Luckly we where only like 2h by train away, but hey, we wanted it phisical you know, not just voice.

SMS where the big tihng. I remember wanting to replace my phone with one with a full qwerty keyboard... But ended up getting really good at T9 away those 160 characters. And be careful to fit or else! :)

Good times.

Anyway, forget about long distance relationships unless the "long distance" part is very clearly defined in time, no matter what technology is.

And no, it last less than 12 months. It was hard at 20 not to be phisically together for most of the week.

Good thought...

But no, dreams are forgettable because they are built that way: the stuff the brain uses to create memories is disabled during dreams.

This is because, otherwise, you would just keep hallucinating without being able to discern between reality and dreams.

I can't get good automatic playlists on navidrome. Nor any good way to automatically mix my collection satisfactory....

Audiobookshelf.

I used to have it installed. Its pretty nice and the integration with Garmin connect is pretty sweet, so you don't even have to download the gpx and upload it, but the activity will be automatically synched for you.
