Alacran

I enjoy writing by hand, but I do look forward to a good e-ink device (Products like the remarkable have a subscription model and it’s closed hardware and software, which is a big negative to me). Waiting to see how projects like PineNote evolve.

For now I just write on which ever notebook is closest to me. The act of writing is more important than actually storing information somewhere outside of my head.

I have blackout curtains but somehow my brain isn’t fooled and I’ve been sleeping very little as a result.

It’s definitely a convenience if you’re already a driver. But there’s no reason to get one just for identification purposes.

I don’t know where op is from, but at least in Sweden you just get a “national ID”. Same shape as a driver’s license, works all over the EU, none of the pesky driving and the passport stays safely at home until it’s time to travel out of the EU.

I’m 36 in Sweden. I never got one, I’ve never needed it. Public transport and an electric bike have worked perfectly. I don’t like the idea of driving. Owning a car is expensive and stressful. I also have ADHD.

I never ‘got’ twitter. I’ve created about 3 accounts over the years only to leave them behind. It’s just not for me. I’m also a long-winded person, definitely not an “x characters” person.

I made a mastodon a couple of years ago, I figured it would go the same way. But it didn’t. I found a couple of sweet people that made multilingual puns and liked animals. They had fun friends. The little community grew from there. Now I’m a regular user. When I post, I’m mostly sharing things to “my friends”, not screaming into the wind. Most of this little network is on separate instances each too.

The source showed the tweet as an image, so I went into the sewer waters from Fritter. And, yep, it’s genuinely there.

It’s not even that I believe him unable to have such bad takes: it’s not the first time. I have just seen a few fake ones. But the fake ones aren’t even needed!
