  • I hate when airlines lose bags
  • I dislike bringing more stuff than I can easily carry on my back
  • I only have one bag and my laptop goes in it, so it ain't going down below.

It isn't about price. In fact some airlines are starting to charge more for a carry-on.

I'm also really good at bringing less. I travel months at a time with carry on only.

Overhead bin space for carry-on bags.

As someone who travels with carry-on only (as much as possible), if I'm in economy I make sure to board as soon as I can to ensure there's space in the overhead bins for my bag.

I was unfortunately somewhere without any kind of view of it.

If it's an app in early development, then that's probably a problem with an app.

Which comes back to another issue with your post. You didn't say what app you were talking about. Cache clearing should not be general advice.

Well,

  • a cache shouldn't slow down an app. If it's slowing down an app, it's using the cache wrong. There shouldn't be any reason to clear a cache regularly. You should clear a cache when you need to for specific reasons like there is something bad/corrupt in the cache or you temporarily need the space used by the cache.
  • this makes your advice seem somewhat trite and uh, I'll call it "uninformed"
  • this leads to your tone being... weird, maybe, in a technology forum?

Don't dwell on it though. The internet can be harsh and you were well-meaning :)

So... What SIM do you use when you're in other countries?

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yeah, I keep that for emergencies (you only pay if you use it) and also turn my Telus on occasionally to check text messages and do two factor authentication (incoming texts are free), but CAD$15 a day to "roam like home" is more expensive than an entire month with a local SIM in many countries.

Wait, how does this technology work!?

(other than being really bad at what it does... )

[–] JohnnyCanuck@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Yup, it's really well done

Definitely a pro-choice statement: "Don't make women resort to [risky abortion techniques]"
