I leave my phone further away.
Close enough that I’ll hear it if there’s an actual emergency, but far enough that I won’t reach for it just because I’m bored.

That’s enough to take care of most of my mindless night scrolling.

If I just can’t fall asleep, sometimes I’ll go drift off in the hammock outside or something that’ll cool my body a bit.
Tbh, sometimes I just rub one out ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also works as a decongestant.
I’m not a doctor, don’t use this as medical advice.

Ghost licensing is predatory.
It’s easier to just wait until the ghost can be published in the public domain.
Blame Disney.

If it starts fine, but performance drops off a cliff after a while, it might be a heat issue.
I ended up putting such a flaky drive in a bag and wrapping a flexible icepack around it.
Not a great solution, but kinda good enough to get some data off of it.

I’ve manually set it to verified.
You should be able to login now.

9nce logged in, you might wanna double check in your lemmy profile, just to make sure there’s no typo in there.
As neidu3 mentionned, reaching out through matris might be faster. (Sorry, I know it’s not super convenient.)

And… welcome!

If you have a microwave, follow the instructions in the bag.

I don’t have a glass lid

I’ve used a dinner plate as a lid in a pinch.
Careful it might get hot.

I’m proud of you.

The community is also hosted on lemm.ee which will shutdown, you’ll have to recreate the community on another instance.
I think piefed has a community migration feature but I have no experience with it.

Yes, absolutely. Fuck the stuff you get at stores’ checkout.

I do mean something from a bank or union, it’s just instead of having a limit you can borrow from, you can prepay and do whatever transaction after.
Works fine for online places that only take credit.
You can usually get them even with shitty credit, because they’re not fronting you the money.

I do believe it is still 5MB.
43 MB is definitely over the upload limit.

You can still probably get a prepaid credit card…
You just have to pay it upfront before doing the transaction.

I use this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.orrs.deliveries

It can usually get the status of most courriers unless they’re actively hostile against API/scraping.
Worst case you can still track status manually, or open the webpage.
It doesn’t track payment, but I don’t usually have a tracking number before paying.
I think you could technically add your own custom status entry.
I keep them as active until shipped and verified after which I mark them as completed.

Works well enough for my needs.

If she’s discussing said exit plans with you, make sure y’all have some bare minimum OpSec.
By that I mean… encrypted chat, phone locks, deleting history, etc.
Otherwise just being there to listen can make a big difference even though I understand wishing to do more, sometimes you can’t and being there is good enough.

Yea, we’re going for the combo.
I should have said “one of” our generation’s asbestos

This is probably our generation’s asbestos.

Shoes off, unless it’s construction work then boots on and I’ll clean up after. Safety first.

Older cable management was fucking elegant.
You can’t convince me that cable lacing isn’t fucking fabulous.

I’ve dropped a smartphone once several years ago. I think it was the Galaxy S5.
First day, hadn’t put it in a case yet, dropped it, tried to catch it with my foot but ended up kicking it into the steel frame of a cubicle.
The side dented but it survived.

Before that, the last time I had dropped a phone was… a Motorola Razr that I dropped from a 28’ ladder and onto the sidewalk, no car or anything, worked fine and barely a scratch.

Otherwise basically never.

Shit, what if… I had already used my undo to unread this post?
