Why bother terraforming planets, or settling them at all? With current tech we could capture an asteroid, throw it into an Aldrin Cycler orbit, and hollow it out into an O'Neil Cylinder. Boom, instant colony which can hold hundreds of millions of people and naturally cycles between near Earth and near Mars every couple years. Repeat as necessary.

Although, ironically, generated garbage is virtually worthless for SEO.

Cool, but why though? Firefox + Mullvad VPN already ensures all the privacy I want and more.

It helps to separate the technology from the companies. We don't need Google, Amazon, or any other company to make use of network connected technology. It doesn't have to be internet-connected, either. You can have a completely automated home with no more risk of intrusion than a standard locked door already has from a well-placed boot.

Damn they won't make me magnetic? That would be useful, I could avoid dropping screws and bits every time I do a project.

One other solution to throw into the ring - delete the contact and re-enter it as a "phone only" contact. That way it's not connected to her Google services whatsoever.

Hey, just a heads up - you can easily install a profanity filter extension on just about any browser, mobile or otherwise. Here's an example for Chrome:

That way you don't have to see stuff you don't want to, but also don't have to attempt to modify the way other people speak to suit your desires.

Not bad, been a good day actually. I have today and tomorrow off for the holiday, so it's been a nice long weekend.

I woke up early and did my meditation, then stretched and got a good workout in. Then did the dishes and mopped kitchen floor. That left me feeling quite productive and totally justified in sparking up the bong and playing video games for the last few hours.

I was a BaconReader user, but yeah when they took that away, that was the final straw for me. I can get my doom scrolling fix anywhere, thank you.

Well, this particular Magazine is called /m/RedditMigration so it would be kind of hard to not discuss Reddit here...
