We have a laptop from Pine that's working okay.
So I bought a braveheart edition of the pinephone.
Battery life was a big problem.
Since a few days, the charging makes a clicking sound and battery won't charge.
Everybody in the family is happy with their Sony Xperia Jolla phones so we don't bother to shop at Pine anymore.
You can like the guy's books - or not. Essentially they are the product of labour. Neal in my opinion is a researcher, who makes up stories by connecting dots. I guess I just said that Neal Stephenson is only interested in this process, works hard while at it and has no time (nor interest) in delivering a project like bitcoin.
Also considering to install Igel on the clients.
Let me be clear we're still trying to manage that Awingu thing conveniently because it's not exactly managed with templating like Citrix.
We have to because of funny security standards in contracts with clients.
A month ago the Belgian media suddenly started churning out news bouts how hydrogen "could save us" (see bible for other stories).
I will not deny that hydrogen has a good potential for storing energy - although at very low efficiency.
The only thing I like about this fairy tale is that the professors in the old lab where I once was a technician, and where I found my wife, finally started working together.
20 panels of 1.65m to provide energy for one house and a little hydrogen storage somewhere against cost of panels and storage = fairy tale.
Guinea fowl bathing in a raspberry vinegar, pink pepper berry cream sauce with melon balls, grapes and litchi. Brussels sprouts with chocolate is a perfectly good idea to go along with it. And croquettes. Damn, I'm dreaming up the ideal filling for the poultry already...
"J'ai un compte sur Twitter donc je suis"
Translation: I have an account on Twitter so I am.
Try to explain Levinas "alterity" (otherness) to those kids and first thing that will cross their mind is if he ever got a "like" on Facebook.
Or confirmation of scientific theories by the amount of followers on the account of the researcher...
Suicidal Tendencies was already making songs like "flashing pictures on my screen, shown too quickly to be seen, does not register in my conscious mind, propaganda of another kind - they're fucking with me subliminally"
I am dwelling the face of this earth with a broken smartphone screen on my Jolla for like two years.
Meanwhile even my wife broke the screen of her tablet.
We are both in the market for something (sail)fishy, but who will offer us something?
