Thats the exact reason I just donated my old pc to my sisters kids as a “practice computer”, encouraging them to go rummaging around.
What woke me up was all these 20-somethings in our uni having trouble using computers. Damn, how can you get through our secondary education in our country and not know how to use a normal Windows pc?
Then they started to remove songs you own, and songs from your hard drive that iTunes had nothing to do with it… Fucking apple cultists. You really never see any fault in your chosen god?
Same here, my father was born in Jänisjärvi and in the 90’s and 2000’s (2000-2009) we visited our ancestral farmstead there multible times and helped the, funnily enough, family deported from Ukraine there. Olga and Nikolai, who where BORN there, did try to their best, but it was quite something.
Two funny memories come up from one of those early trips to visit them, circa 2003 or somerhing; we delivered a small portaple milking unit to them, so Olga wouldnt have to have so hard time milking their small herd of (3 or 5?) dairy cows.
Other one is we replaced a part of their broken plumbing (my father is an Master Constuctor [en tiedä mitä se on englanniksi, AMK-uudistusta edeltävä Rakennusmestari]) and took home piece of history: a wooden plumbing pipe peace that they had used in their clear water well.
Russia really changed after 2010’s and its sad how our old “family friends” seemingly quickly turned against us and then we lost contact. Luckily few of the younger and smarter ones got out before “All this fucking shit, AGAIN.”.
DAMN IT. Confilicting feelings. As is perhaps the whole " special finnish-russian relations" (unless you ask people from the west coast, they are just racist fucks, those swede loving bootlickers).
Main reason I started using Kiwi browser on my mobile some years back (3-4?) was that it blocks AMP-sites. Ability to run many chrome extensions has been also a good plus, though interacting with some interfaces on them is sometimes difficult or downright impossible.
Nay, there be Dragons
I’ve been reading a thrift store find as of late, “The Mammoth Book Of Best New SF 11”, a short story collection first published in 1998, ed. Gardner Dozois by Robinson Publishing.
In general I’ve been reading different sci fi short story collections of as of late, while waiting for the next Final Architecture -book to drop.
HMD Nokia’s are also pretty unbloated and work just fine, except mine got a shitty usb-c port that had to be replaced by warranty.
On the other hand, so did my 2 other previous phones, and they were Samsung.
I’ve had 3 android phones in the past 5 years (Samsung, Samsung, latest is HMD Nokia) and every one of them had their usb-c connector broken (in about a year). They really seem to be quite crap when they come out of the factory.
I’'ve never had ANY device, in my 40’ish years on this hurling ball of a space ship, brake their 3.5 mm jack. Not a single, and there must have been dozens if not hundreds devices with those jacks.
Poster is also a China-shill/misinformation operator. Check their post/comment history. Sowing confusion and hatred all around is abc in their playbook.

There is also wheelmap.org , based on Openstreet maps. Project asks for volunteers to mark wheelchair accessible places that you know of.
Even a few markdowns would help if you know an accessible space, store, restaurant, bathroom etc. !
I have also been using it the past week or so. Works pretty well and UI is good and intuitive.
Work on my master’s thesis and hopefully get to DM our years long campaign again. The curse of conficting schedules has been very real on that campaign the past couple of years.
