Signs you're getting old? by OrkneyKomodo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

A general feeling of alienation from society. Particularly younger people.
Dislike of ‘modern’ music.
Nostalgia over the way things used to be as you have lived long enough to witness the enshittification.

Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets by OrkneyKomodo in c/technology@lemmy.world

Codec support is a bit of a bummer. Otherwise I would have bought them.

Finally deleted my LinkedIn account! by OrkneyKomodo in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] OrkneyKomodo 27 points 3 months ago

I'd love to do this, but I used LinkedIn to find my current job, & I'll probably need it to find the next one (when the time comes).

I keep it up to date, like a kind of running CV, but otherwise I don't interact with it.

Mobile Roaming in the US & Canada (self.ireland)

submitted 5 months ago by OrkneyKomodo to c/ireland@lemmy.world

What do people here do when wanting to take their phone with them when travelling to the US or Canada. It looks like I might need to take out a mortgage if I took my eir SIM with me & turned on data roaming.

Does anyone have any recommendations for eSIMs or anything else?

Untrained dogs while you're out on a run is another level of hell. & there are so many!

You're the president of a democracy and your army just deposed a dictator with a war. What's your plan to rebuild that country, and what's your exit strategy? by OrkneyKomodo in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] OrkneyKomodo 34 points 9 months ago

Invoke emergency legislation to gain more power and dissolve the government. Then, become the new de facto dictator.

Hackers Say They've Breached "All Sony Systems", Threaten To Sell Stolen Data by OrkneyKomodo in c/technology@lemmy.world

Can the hackers change the region on my account for me? Sony won't let me change it.

Yup. I'm not either.

I'm sure many of us could ditch out fitness watches if we had a coach.

Recommendations for a FOSS Cross-Platform Note-Taking Application (self.linux)

submitted 11 months ago by OrkneyKomodo to c/linux@lemmy.ml

89 comments fedilink

Up to now I've been using Simplenote, which has a Linux client (but also Android & iOS) & supports live collaboration on notes. However, Simplenote hasn't had a meaningful update for a long time, & it's recently been behaving strangely, e.g. notes undeleting themselves, line duplications & undeletions.

Can anyone recommend an alternative? Spinning up an ownCloud/nextcloud instance just to use Joplin feels a little overkill. I stumbled across turtl, but the project looks abandoned.

I'm shortly going to be migrating to Cork. I'd be grateful if someone could point me in the direction of some 'left' or 'centre-left' online news sources for Cork. Preferably with RSS feeds.

Bird ID (play.google.com)

submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by OrkneyKomodo to c/birding@lemmy.world

5 comments fedilink

A lot of people probably already know this exists, but for those who don't, there's an awesome app that tells you what birds are around from their calls/songs. It's called "Merlin". You can also give it photos to ID. I usually leave it running in my pocket or hand while I walk around my local RSPB reserve.
