I don’t use Brave, but I did read that post because I am interested in how they are handling this. It’s worth reading for that.

Usually before it starts by not being able to see they are interested in me.

Could I have this on a notarized, laminated card to keep in my pocket? Otherwise I’ll just do the same thing I always do.

• look confused
• say something like ‘I’m not sure, where were you thinking of going? Oh, and I have a doctors appointment on Tuesday , so not then’
• ‘hey, where are you going?’
• six months later, doing something random. ‘Fuck, i did it again’

I still sometimes use the old version for search redirects, that works. I just opened it and went to ‘all’, that worked too. This was in anonymous mode as I don’t have an account.

Possibly pertinent is that I never updated to the new version. I don’t know if that matters or not. I also don’t know if I scrolled for awhile whether I would get rate limited. I’m not taking one for the team to find out

It can be highly invasive and destructive. That said, there are two types, clumpers and runners, runners are bad. Unless you’re a Panda.

That’s a great read, can’t wait to get the book.

I love paper maps, I have never had one run out of battery, or direct me onto a dead end.

It’s more than that though. It’s an adventure whenever you look at one.

I never use GPS or location services, show me a map and I know where I am and how to get to the next place.

My most recent paper map is of Tobago.

That depends on the temp and humidity. Bangkok in august vs Canberra in december.

Your comment seems to miss my point entirely.

Nothing is ‘unclean’ I just don’t make my bed.

I do similar things, you will never find unwashed dishes, my towel is hung up, the fridge is clean. The bed doesn’t bother me at all because I see it as a positive thing.

I go back and forth using a pillow. If I do use one I hang it up everyday to air out.

I think I was overlooking that. Actually, I know I was.

For me it isn’t about not doing a task, it’s a task that is counterproductive (to me).

Different strokes, I like to roll in. The worst for me is getting into a hotel room and needing a crane to get the sheets off my feet. First thing I do in hotel rooms is unmake the bed.

I understand the tidy looking bit, in the rest of my room you won’t find dust, cobwebs, or dirty clothes. I just never make my bed. Most people I know think that is weird. Partners are generally unimpressed (too lazy to make his bed).

One of the most distinguishing features of “web3” is the sheer level of handwaviness surrounding it. While you can find no end of press releases, crypto evangelists on Twitter, and venture capitalists extolling the virtues of web3, you will have a much harder time finding any definition that’s not so full of buzzwords that it becomes meaningless. That’s because “web3” is first and foremost a marketing term.

I don’t think this is unpopular, it’s just another racist dog whistle.

That’s definitely a big issue with these. This one ships with Android 13, its very likely that it will never get an update or security patch after release.

From a security/privacy standpoint these are bad. I have not seen any custom ROMs for any of them, for the usual reasons, limited uptake, Mediatek processors, unreleased source code.

If none of that is important to you, then they seem to work pretty well. An old coworker had one, I used it briefly a few times. Battery life was great, seemed to get reception where other devices didn’t, hers was waterproof, and survived many drops. It was great for site surveys in the back of Bourke.

I wouldn’t use one, but if none of what I consider the downsides was an issue then its a phone with good specs (Android version notwithstanding) for very reasonable money.

It seems like the question is ’ can I use NFC without being tied to a major network?'.

Why bash that? Seems like a legitimate question to me.

I think the answer is you can’t, with caveats, some prepaid cards might allow it, but you may not be able to do it on your phone.

I haven’t had a bank account or credit card in a decade, so I’m with you on paying in cash. I also realize that doesn’t work for most people.

Dammit I had to look it up. It’s sheep, sheep.

Hoist on my own petard I was
