My daughter is kind of becoming a horticulturalist and recently taught me that sumac (there are non-poison varieties) can make something akin to lemonade if you dip the berries into water and then filter the water back. They have a citric-acid-like outer shell that dissolves in water.
And we've eaten so many mushrooms and stuff - thanks to communities on the internet who have categorized lookalikes, where to steer clear of certain types (white mushrooms, don't even bother. Half of them will kill you)
I still pay for a Pandora family subscription, because all 5 people in my house use it; but for me - I don't like spending all the time organizing and listening to albums, so I pick a song I want - Pandora makes a mix of songs like it, and then I rip the "station" that Pandora builds for me into files and toss those files into an SD card in my car.
Yep, basically if you take off all the ad-blockers (you should run that yourself anyways), and extra shit and you just need a barebones VPN, it can be like $1/month. Mine is $2/month so that I have a wider range of servers to choose from.
You know Windscribe is like $2/month if you choose the build your own plan right? I've been using them for 6 years now on a wireguard split tunnel, and they've been amazing. On VPN I can saturate a 1gbps symmetrical connection.
Not to make light of the terrible constitutional crisis this nation is under, but ICE literally means "Immigration and Customs Enforcement". It's literally in the name that they won't be going after gangs. So that statement is laughable at best.
Now, the military deployments, those could have been used for that reason.
Then again, in 🤡 world over here, I'm surprised there's a distinction at all.
You can blame the courts for this one. They basically ruled "Apple isn't a monopoly, because they don't even LET other people compete in the first place". (which is about a bass-ackwards as it gets but whatever)
Google saw this and went "shit..." so they're rushing to implement the same thing.
The problem with overeating, is once you need to stop yourself, it's harder to - because you still need to eat. You still need to keep doing the thing that you've got a problem with.
Imagine if to "stop smoking", you had to smoke 3x a day?
That's why eating disorders are so damn hard for people.
The benefits to jailbreaking it are that you can change the layout of the device, remove store icons, and just in-general tidy up the UI a bit. I haven't seen anything game-changing from the jailbreak; like adding apps or something.
It's not a software problem, the Oasis has free cellular service for life.
If you turn your Wifi off on an Android phone for example - it still scans and uses the wifi to keep track of your location, for instance. It's an anti-consumer pattern that companies are using. Airplane mode? -- Sure, for YOU. But Amazon probably still allows cell service to connect every couple of hours for exactly this kind of thing.
The error message she received wasn't sly about it either. It said something very direct along the lines of "We have determined that you are not eligible to read this book so we have removed it from your device"
I've been slowly filling my wife's Kindle Oasis full of pirated books over the last 2 years. I got it initially because it had internet service everywhere and I could just email her the epubs to simplify loading things.
A couple of weeks ago, even though airplane mode is always on for this thing, (so no wifi either) -- this thing wipes something like 400 books from her library overnight. Granted, they were all pirated, but they're doing some nasty stuff there. It looks like there's renewed effort to combat this.
Sooooo, I sold it and bought her a Kobo Libra Color. Now, I just have her open up https://send.djazz.se/ -- give me the 4 digit code, and I can upload books to her that way. Goodbye Amazon. Don't let the door hit you.
BazziteDX? -- It's Bazzite but for developers
