My wife used Xperia phones exclusively for years. The only real issues she had, and why she dropped them, was their mid tier cameras and the severe overheating. She switched pre-COVID, so maybe the CPU issue has been addressed.

Leading with what you are into seems like a solid way to find a good.match.

Probably a toss up between The Next Generation (TNG) and Deep Space 9 (DS9). Do note that Star Trek series normally need about a season to find their footing. Season 1 of TNG was mid-tier but it still is a source of plenty of memes.

I think TNG is likely the better starting point. The original series (TOS) is painfully old fashioned, which could ve a good thing or bad depending on your tastes.

WWW without the Internet? No. Without cloud services? Absolutely.

FYI: You can download and host a local copy of Wikipedia. The English language backup is less than 30GB. I seed the monthly torrent of it (updated once a month).

So what’s the angle? The Internet is getting flooded by AI slop. AI needs fresh REAL content to train with. That’s the angle. You are there to provide frsh amd original content to feed the AI.

Solvinity works primarily for Dutch government bodies…

Given that the bulk of the business is cloud services for the Dutch government, blocking or nationalizing seems like the right move.

I use Pop!_OS with Bitwig, Renoise, and Reaper as Linux native DAWs and Guitar Rig 7 through Wine emulation. I haven’t given the Guitar Rig 7 install a proper run through, but Bitwig, Renoise and Reaper work great.

I lived in the US Virgin Islands as a kid. Our back yard had a seemingly endless supply of mangoes, bananas, avocado, lime, oranges (the real stuff, not the engineered shit we eat in the mainland), grapefruit, bread fruit, acerola, plantains, and pigeon peas. It wasn’t even that big a yard. Shit just grows.

Underripe is when it’s nice and full of water. Best when thirsty. Dry and ripe, best when hungry.

I wonder how many people think that this;

is what a coconut actually looks like.

EDIT:

Coconut as it looks on the palm tree
