#doom #games

A low-quality image of the game Doom is visible on a small display with two shades of blue on a chunk black landline phone that has a person with a finger on the circular directional button.

Wow, serious rite of passage: my younger son playing his first lp... On our turntable unused for a decade or two, with a just-replaced cartridge... These speakers are also getting their first airing despite me having had them for years (gifted by a mate as excess to requirements)...

Mr 14, standing side on in his school uniform with phone recording this epic experience: excited to be hearing his first LP for the first time. This is in our lounge with Tannoy speakers on the floor, cobbled together speaker cables, and stereo components (Yamaha power amp & radio receiver, Onkyo turntable, and Technics dual cassette deck. Incidentally, the latter was bought from Lan Pham's husband 7-8 yrs ago) in a home made ply rack sitting on the carpet in front of curtains blocking out the …

Listening to my father repeatedly asking Siri for directions to Mere (in Wiltshire) and getting results for his phone contact “Mia”.
“Try using a stronger West Country enunciation”, I suggest, knowing full well it will have no effect.
Eventually he asks for directions to nearby Wincanton.

With #GrapheneOS announcing support for presumably more smartphones by #Motorola starting with with 2027 models, I can finally dream of getting a clamshell flip phone that combines good HW, a nice OS with a small form factor: #RazrUltra

I was looking to buy a new phone. I was considering the #hmd Pulse Pro...but a phone I can buy on their website at the moment is going to stop getting patches in May 2027... eWaste in ~1 year after I buy it.
On Samsung's webite I can buy a A17 5g that they claim will get security patches until 2031.
Both are budget phones (I don't care about the specs) - but the difference in the…

Lightning round privacy guide
Someone asked me for a quick list of privacy recommendations so I’ll retype them here but with links Keep using signal (I have a laundry list of criticisms of signal) but it is ultimately still better than most chat apps you’d use instead If you have an Android phone use the Molly IM third party client for Signal which addresses most of my criticisms of it Try Matrix It’s like everything good about Signal but also decentralized Consider getting a Meshtastic device for off-the-grid messahi…

Yep, like this I'm getting nowhere. Another splendid rabbithole. I need to focus!
Did you know PostmarketOS has a desktop image as well? Not just for a phone, but a full-fledged DE? Neither did I. It's based on Alpine, and one image lets you choose between the likes of Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Cosmic. And that KDE is very sleek and up to date!
Gonna give that a longer go. Thanks @…

That was scary. My phone didn’t believe I was 18 at first. Was afraid of getting locked out of things. Thankfully it worked on second try.
Be wary of iOS 26.4 if you are in the U.K. or have a U.K. account.
