Will another state ban banning book bans?

Zelda. Breath of the wild.

Just find it repetitive. I'm probably not doing it right, but i get bored every time I try.

I already donate regularly for websites that matter to me, so wouldn't have a problem with donating to my favorite instances. Somehow I'm OK with semi-regular donations at my pace, but not with mandatory subscriptions. I'm just weird?

Absolutely. This feels so much better. Hopefully we dont mess it up as it grows.

Currently on a Samsung A51.

I used to get a flagship every other year, Samsung usually, but dont see the point anymore as mid range seems plenty powerful enough. I'm now closer to a 5 year cycle. Favorite phone ever was a Blackberry. To this day the BB had better features than any Android I ever had. Best in context phone dialler ever. Could dial the correct number from country code to area or city code from any place to any place.

I had a corporate iPhone. Copied the Outlook settings onto my private Android, supposedly it wouldnt work as I didnt let my IT crew install spying software on it, but it did since i used what was basically an Outlook web app. Then stored the iPhone in a drawer in my office and never touched it again.

The more I use it, the happier I am. I'm an old geezer who was tinkering with computers way back when 8K was an outrageous amount of RAM. This reminds me of why I became a geek to begin with.

Be excellent to each other.

My new motto for the time being.

Being patient is where it's at. In any case, many sellers include the "free" shipping in their costs, so it’s not rare to find a say a $20 item with Prime for $215 plus $5 shipping with another seller.

Amazon often has free shipping over $25 so over the months we just slowly add items in our cart, then buy by just over $25 increments to get free shipping.

Titanium backup and Ad Away are my fave but plenty of other things.

I've got a keyboard with track pad. I bought it a couple years ago, so I don't remember where I got it from. Pretty sure its not a Samsung one. It's decent and works to write longer emails on the road.

The reality is that ads work. That's why they even exist and companies pay so much for them. The safest way to not be influenced by them is to not see them.

Block them, skip them, use ad free media

I wonder if uBlock Origin and other ad blocks will work against that crap. Not that I intend to use Reddit anymore anyway.
