I just switched back to iPhone a couple of months ago, after 10 years on Android.

In short, I trust Apple more than Google. That’s not to say Apple is 100% trustworthy, but I definitely trust them more than Google.

Right wrist (I'm a leftie): Garmin Instinct Crossover Solar Tactical (with generic glass screen protector and silicone case)

Front left pocket:

• A leather pocket organizer, holding:
  • Victorinox SKA (Cyber Tool M edition)
  • Fisher bullet space pen, brass
  • Olight AAA white led torch

Front right pocket: my iPhone 15 Pro Max in a black Spigen Tough Armor case

Back right pocket: a large handkerchief (I get bloody noses and my engine runs pretty hot - I can sweat a lot at times)

Back left pocket: reserved for my minimalist EDC wallet when I carry it (not the exact model, I don't always carry, as I can use my phone for everything, including digital driver's licence)

Belt, right side:

• Leatherman Surge stainless, using the pocket clip, but on my belt
• A spring clip carabiner, on a belt loop, holding
  • My house keys and a trolley token release tool, in a black leather Orbitkey
  • My car fob

Belt, left side: RAE Gear sheath for Leatherman bit kit, holding:

• Dual bit kit
• After-market bit kit extension (simply cannot get the Leatherman ratchet extension ANYWHERE!)
• Leatherman saw blade (file lives on my Surge)

When I go camping/offroading, I'll often put the Leatherman into a Toolbro holster, holding my Wuben L50 rechargeable torch.

Sadly, it looks like WJMake is no longer selling on Etsy (where I got the Toolbro), which is a real shame. They sold some really nice, handmade EDC accessories, and were happy to customise to suit my exact needs.

Mine has the extra elastic loop on the side to hold my Space Pen, an extra pocket on the front to hold the Leatherman saw blade, and they swapped out belt loops for a pair of belt clips, so I could wear/remove without having to undo my belt - a really important (to me) capability when camping and offroading.

I'm still using it via mbasic. It looks like shit, but I can get to my messages and reply, etc.

Er, what question? You day drinking over there?

Jesus, talk about failing to get the point.

I'm not talking about my government or yours. I'm talking about society making a change for the better. That requires change at a generational level. Bigger guns aren't the answer - changing people's thinking is.

But, by all means, feel free to keep playing the Team America card. That's what landed that orange-skinned moron in the White House for his first term.

Maybe you should take the time to engage your own critical thinking, and realise not everyone is American.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Can we reason our way to revolt, already?

`twould be nice, but I see this as requiring a multi-generational solution. We need enough young voters to get out there and vote with their social conscience, to overcome the combined weight of ignorance, money and power.

It's won't be on-prem, but it will be dedicated data centres, built and run by Amazon, so almost the same as. Why? Because AWS runs better data centres than the gov ever could.

Gov is outsourcing the physical infrastructure risk, just like any other ocmpany that puts their stuff in the cloud.

For channels I want to preserve, Tube Archivist. For individual videos, yt-dlp.

Critical thinking, so everyone could understand that everyone else has their own shit that matters to them.

The world would be a lot nicer to live in if entire groups of our society didn’t feel this incessant need to convert others to their way of thinking, be it political, cultural, or religious.

As long as one person isn’t hurting or subjugating another, IDGAF.

In your mobile browser, instead of m[dot]facebook[dot]com, try mbasic[dot]facebook[dot]com.

Very no frills FB for mobile, that lets you access Messenger. It looks like arse, but it beats using their spyware.

TIL that the US doesn't have apprenticeships. We have them over here in Australia, for the usual trades. But we also regulate a lot of those things - we're not allowed to handle our own electrical work if we're not trade qualified.

How does it work in the US, if a kid wants to become, say, a plumber?
