I found out that pouring some syrup in plain yoghurt makes for a very tasty fruity yoghurt. (I used a forest fruits syrup in this case)

Easiest dessert ever. 🥣

I still hate phones. But if you've got a Samsung Galaxy A53, I've got some questions for you! 

If you own a Samsung Galaxy A53, I would love it if you could answer some questions I have!

- I've read a lot of reports online that the phone is extremely sluggish, slow, laggy. Scrolling doesn't go smooth. Did you also experience that and did it get fixed?

- How strong is its vibrator? As a deaf person this is an important feature for me. The only reason I won't go A52 is a fair amount of reviews saying that the vibration is poor on that one.

I hate phones 

I'm trying to figure out which phone to buy to replace my old Samsung Galaxy A3 with. Android 8, woefully lacking in storage space, and falling apart. Yeah, definitely needs replacing.

So I've been looking around. Glanced at the S20 FE and A33, both suggested by people I know. Then glanced over at the A53, even debated A52, but either they're too pricy or there's something not quite right in the reviews I've read that makes me hesistant to throw a lot of money at it.

I am still of the opinion that phones shouldn't be expensive. 200-ish euro should be fine enough.

I'm so tempted to just go eff it and buy an A13 4G instead. 175 euro, seems still sane, and the phone is in every aspect an improvement on my old A3 that I've managed to use for almost 5 years now. :P

I really will need to make a decision by tomorrow when it's Cyber Frigging Monday. I am hugely disappointed at the 'discounts' given so far around here.

Oh, huh. I actually didn't expect to solve it that fairly fast. Neat! I guess there are less words that could have so many various letters fitting in there.

I just finished watching the last episode of Wednesday, and I absolutely enjoyed it. It climaxed very nicely but also left enough open for another time.

Every episode was nicely complete from start to finish, just about right. They're about 50 minutes each but it didn't feel too long at all.

I hope there will be a second season because I'm _dying_ to know what'll come next.

(p.s. not literally dying. Just to make that clear.)

No surprise, now these toxic bullies from tech.lgbt are trying to have private conversations with me, which I of course indulge, and then quote whatever ammo they can use out of context and dump the rest...

It is amazing these people trust anyone who is so clearly **not** being transparent.

With the recent Fediverse drama going on, this image came to mind. Be careful about who you think to push over the edge, because you just might make it worse.

Moving to new instance, fediverse drama 

@imabuddha @nova this is going to be a deal breaker for normal people. Amins need to cool their guns or they're going to do WAY more harm to the entire enterprise of decentralized network than any single post.

It will cause more super-nodes that have a tacit understanding that they won't block one another bc they're "too big to block."

Worse it turns "it doesn't matter which server you join" false. It'll frustrate people when they can't find their peeps.

Free game of Garfield Kart - Furious Racing right now over at Fanatical. Steam key.

Fairly simple kart racing with throwing objects, and it seems pretty kid friendly from what I can see. Can be played solo, split screen, or online.

So, managed to get Prime Video working via my dad's account (2FA was a bit annoying to deal with, I guess I'll never log out again!).

So alongside with Netflix, the series I'm going to (continue) watching in the coming months are:

- Wednesday
- The Sandman
- Good Omens
- The Expanse
- The Witcher

And some more goodies. I'll have to explore Prime Video a bit more. Suggestions welcome. :)
I like me a good grand scifi/fantasy.

Big rumblings in the expansion of the #Fediverse have been happening recently.

#Tumblr has already promised to implement #ActivityPub (the protocol Mastodon uses), which will mean you can follow Tumblr accounts from here and vice versa. And today we a learning that #Flickr is also considering it!

This will be a massive expansion bringing, which obviously carries some uncertainties, but I, for one, welcome our new federation partners.

This is the way the internet is supposed to work.

If you want to support the cause please leave a comment at my reddit post, good or bad, we need to discuss this.

Honestly, I probably would have disengaged from the Fediverse/Mastoverse a long time ago - or at best had a mostly dormant account (like I do on the birdsite) - because of stuff like this, if not for .

To my knowledge, this is the instance that comes closest to having the culture that Hacker News wants to have:

> Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents.

> Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

(from news.ycombinator.com/newsguide)

So, thank you, for creating an environment for those of us that want to have genuine and curious conversations.
