I think you mean "square peg meats circle hole" amirite?

Lot of Republican governors of states that signed a letter urging this subsidy to be renewed. Seriously, broadband subsidies for rural areas should be renewed.

Thanks!

I live in the region and this fucked us up. I hope this guy rots in prison.

That's basically the gist of it, yeah.

I can't believe I wasted five minutes of my life on that hell. Whoever constructed that is an evil genius.

I disagree with the instance's philosophy. I think "be nice" leads to a lot of unintended consequences and echo chambering. Edit to add: One of the Seven Tenets of The Satanic Temple is: "The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.". I don't go out of my way to troll; however, I feel that Beehaw's instance philosophy does not align with the idea that we have the freedom to offend with our own opinions.

Conversely, I am not LGBTQ+ and I don't need to be in their space. They get to deal with normies all the time in everyday life.

Thanks for the reminder!

Beehaw, actually. It's a space for LGBTQ+++ people and I don't need to be in their space. Edit: I also completely disagree with their philosophy, so it's better for everyone if we keep ourselves separated.

Although not an extreme ultralight backpacker, I follow those principles for what I take with me and I like to move fast in the high mountains. I don't go to take photos, I go for the experience, but good photos are a plus. I can get some great photos with my phone at this point, though it certainly isn't the same as a DSLR camera. My phone has my maps for navigation and my books for reading in camp as well. It's waterproof and resilient and weighs very little. It is extremely convenient for use - put in pocket, take out when needed.

Regarding the camera, I do a lot of backpacking and my phone is my only camera. Upgrading to appreciably better camera tech is something I will do. Example (Pixel 6 phone):
