good morning, I drove 11 miles roundtrip to get coffee, how's your car-centric lifestyle going?
(2.43kWh of energy used if you're curious)
first outing with the pixel today, phone key worked flawlessly, the Starbucks PWA worked great for paying for breakfast! (their app requires safetynet??) and so far everything is fairly happy without google play services
I say this with the caveat I don't get notifications for snapchat or discord, which is... fine so far.
so uh, when are they going to make good native apps? this android app is a bit rough
Uh so my physical sim arrived and works fine so I guess I'm keeping this phone after all? lmao
well that’s a gg, i suppose. woot sold me someone’s phone they most likely still owe money on.
too bad I can’t afford a full price pro pixel so now i have to get an a series device lol
new phone and case are out for delivery aaaaa so excited
so uh, it appears that the “unlocked” refurbished pixel 6 pro i purchased is in fact locked to at&t. i submitted an unlock request, let’s see if they do it! if not i get to go yell at woot.
nothing like waking up to a power outage, can’t open the garage door to go get breakfast 😩
got a super good deal on a refurbished pixel 6 pro so i’m selling my iphone for profit and giving grapheneos a go, should be fun!
did my first twitch stream on linux tonight, playing a brand new windows mmo in private beta (through wine) and everything went smoothly!! a gotdang miracle truly
finally worked through the anxiety to call and schedule a consultation for orchiectomy with the only surgeon in kentucky and my appointment isn’t until march. aaaaaaa fuck
good morning bluesky
I AM HOME AND I HAVE MY DOG BACK I AM SO UNBELIEVABLY HAPPY
paid $10 to post this from a plane just to say i’m finally on my fucking way home fuck you united airlines
got to SFO and our flight is delayed 3 hours for a mechanical issue. thrilling! means we won’t be able to pick up panda tonight though 😭 (dog pic from his boarding place included for good vibes)
another hour! they thanked us for our patience but judging by the groans in the gate there’s not any left.
so I was excited because everyone told me there was less meta discussion than mastodon here and yet everyone has been yelling at each other about alt-text since I’ve arrived this seems productive and healthy
hotels should have bidets thank you
i am so unbelievably sore from pride festivities yesterday but holy shit getting out of kentucky and being surrounded by queer people has been so good for me (also i missed sf can i just stay thank)
