My smartphone story
I’ve recently read a few posts where the authors have shared their smartphone stories. Then last week I got my hands on my very first smartphone again (I’m a bit of a hoarder when it comes to that and still own every single one of my smartphones) and figured why not blog about it? So here it is, my smartphone story. ⌘ Read more

**RT by @mind_booster: This week on my podcast, I read my @Medium column, “Apple’s Cement Overshoes,” about the cynical fuckery of Apple’s sabotage of #RightToRepair, which ensures its devices end up in overseas e-waste landfills rather than being fixed and kept in service.

We don’t have meaningful social connections anymore like our parents or their parents geeration had. We are so scattered, that I am unsure how many of my friends are actually friends and how many are just professional contacts. Everytime I switch job, almost 70% of my friends suddenly fall out of contact. Heck, I don’t even know the people who live in next apartments both left, right, up and down on the same building. Socializing with my friends mean, setting up an appointment weeks ahead to see if we can align on a free-slot and this often involves all of us commuting to somewhere and disbanding by 22:00 hours because family, work next morning, chores to do, doctor appointment and other human things.

I’m getting back into running after a couple of weeks downtime. My left knee is not what it used to be, and I’ve decided to ease back into it. Mentally I’ve accepted that I’ll probably never run 10km in 37:42 again, but emotionally I fear getting slower… As if a slight decline, while saving myself from injuries, would be a defeat.

Hi everyone.

YouTube has given an arbitrary strike to one of my videos.
I am temporarily blocked and banned from posting on YouTube for a week.

I mentioned in a stream that I was planning to wean myself off YouTube as a platform in 2021,
but now I might have to move faster, only three strikes means a permanent channel deletion.
Considering how inconsistent and ambiguous YouTube’s pretended rules are,
I expect to wake up every day with those final strikes.
