@millihertz Which of course is Windows only, but I had a Windows machine at hand, wasn't a problem for me, I think you can use a VM. AND you have to use a particular version of that SW, older and newer builds didn't work for me 😩
Yeah, I know, humiliation isn't my kink either, but you only have to do it once and your phone stays unlocked forever.
I might have used burner SIM and e-mail, but I chose not to in case I consider re-locking it later.

@millihertz Oh, yes, it's not that easy with Xiaomi, single OEM unlock command doesn't cut it, you have to got through rather lenghty procedure. You have to register a Xiaomi account, AFAIR it involved giving your e-mail address (I had one I use rarely) and entering a code sent to your phone — again, I had a spare SIM,didn't have to use my main one.Then you have to initiate the unlock with stock ROM, it should be somewhere in settings. Wait for 10 days(!) and then finally unlock it with their SW

@millihertz My phone can run both. Both OSes are a little lacking in terms of apps, having up to
modern standards browser being the main problem, but it's solvable with WayDroid as a way to run Android apps in
a containter.
Of course having unlocked bootloader makes your phone less secure — anyone can steal your data over USB connection with little effort. But I'm least concerned about it. If I lose it, it's compromised anyway, but at least no one can mess with it remotely.

@millihertz Try one of the alternative ROMs. I'm using ArrowOS on my POCO (subbrand of Xiaomi) X3 Pro. Just put F-Driod and Aurora Store (for the few apps not on F-Ddroid) and it's solid — no ads, no bloatware.
And if you're really sick of Android, try SailfishOS or Ubuntu Touch, Redmi Note 9 Pro was very well supported, maybe yours will work too.

@thor Oh, I see 😆
No, it's called wild because it wasn't human cultivated, it's often considered a predecessor to modern-day wheat. Where I live it's rather inexpensive, like $1 for half a kilo pack, but of course it does not matter if you are completely broke.
Check it out next time, in my book it's a nice way to cut your grocery bill, but it's still tasty and rich in protein.

@neural_meduza Требуется мнение эксперта @mo

@neural_meduza Скажем так, если бы эта новость попалась мне в потоке других новостей, я бы не сразу обратил внимание на то, что это Нейромедуза 🫢

@fuggy I'm not even sure they were especially thorough about ways of bringing back first human astronauts. Who knows what could happen if certain conditions about how landing happens weren't required to score in the competition with the US. And there are opinions they've lied about how it in fact happened too 😅

@thor I'm not sure it grows even where I live — bananas definitely don't, but I can still buy them and they don't cost much. And this is just grains, unlike bananas it does not require refrigeration, you can store it at a warehouse for a couple of years, shouldn't be that expensive 🤷

@thor Not sure why winter is a problem. You didn't grow those potatoes yourself, did you? 😂
It's sold in packs at stores just like rice, buckwheat and other grains, maybe not in every store, but I'm sure you can find it if you look for it.
It might be a tiny bit more expensive than buckwheat, but it's way more nutritious IMO, a kilogram should be enough for almost a week.

@thor Oh, yes, it also takes a bit longer to cook, about 40 minutes. My rule of thumb is to wash it and put it in cold water with spices for a few hours before cooking, this way it takes shorter to cook, it gets softer and just tastes better.

@thor Try wild emmer if you can find it. It should be cheap, but it's very nutritious. It's also richest in proteins compared to other… let's call them cereals. Potatoes are just sugars — you do get your calories, but I have a problem feeling "full" eating only potatoes, you just get feel hungry again in an hour. Emmer might be a little hard to digest to some, but if it suits you, you're in luck — it's hands down the best side dish I could find.

@haverholm@imaginair.es
Yes, I think it's new to this update and I personally like the change, in fact I often to to such lengths to make a CSS injection with uBO to make web-clients not truncate the images if they do so.
But I see why this doesn't work for some and of course I'm okay with making it optional.
@Tusky

@Pixificial
Aah, yes, you're right! Don't tell me there are people who are stupid, but motivated enough to find the guy from stock photo/footage and threaten him, thinking he has something to do with how it got used… Please tell me they don't exist, please🙏

No, man, this computer shit was never about being straight:

I'm straight man myself, but it would be dishonest not to see some correlation here. And as it became more acceptable more people got open about it. Some of the guys you've enjoyed LAN-parties with might be bottle-glassed Stacies themselves by now 😂
@Steveb @verita84

@iska@mstdn.starnix.network Wasn't it a girl, who wrote that article? 🤔

@stux
Self-hosted single-user instance with federation disabled should be a perfect setup for this kind of people 😂
@kura

@iska@mk.starnix.network Maybe he/she/they/them/more/less/else is cringe, but is free.

@thor I don't mean to be rude and I'm not saying you have an actual disorder, but in the long run taking a steady pace, not exploiting these short bursts of productivity might be better. It might seem a little mundane, but you don't wear yourself (and others if it is a collective effort) out and you don't feel yourself like you can't do shit days later.
Stay cool and productive, man 👍

@thor Then you snap out of it and it gets to the direct opposite, nothing makes sense and you have miriad of reasons not to even start because you see how it's doomed to fail.
