Comment on Do you share your location with your friends? in ~tech
Noox Link ParentI said it in a comment above but essentially this yeah. I share my location permanently with my spouse. I'm 100% certain neither of us have ever used it for anything other than practical purposes....I said it in a comment above but essentially this yeah. I share my location permanently with my spouse. I'm 100% certain neither of us have ever used it for anything other than practical purposes. We also get alerts when one of us leave work (option in Google maps) also for 100% practical (dinner related) reasons.

Comment on Do you share your location with your friends? in ~tech
Noox Link ParentChiming in too - I have my location permanently shared with my husband because it's convenient (we both get alerts when either one of us leave work, which is great for dinner-planning purposes....Chiming in too - I have my location permanently shared with my husband because it's convenient (we both get alerts when either one of us leave work, which is great for dinner-planning purposes. Also, gauging why either of us aren't picking up the phone - e.g. If I need to check on something grocery related, but he's not picking up the phone, I can see he's in the woods nearby and can gauge when he'll be back from walking the dog)
But I wouldn't be that weirded out to see my best friend permanently on my Google maps. I wouldn't share it with acquaintances or anything, nor my parents. but if she asked me to I would probably just shrug and let her.
1993 baby here, husband is from 1981, he feels the same way about us sharing locations but I do know he'd never share his location with anyone other than me lol.

Comment on People with paranoid delusions of being hacked keep asking me for help in ~talk
Noox LinkIt sounds like the kind of delusion people have when they're convinced they're victims of gangstalking.It sounds like the kind of delusion people have when they're convinced they're victims of gangstalking.

Comment on SpaceNews goes hard-core paywall in ~space
Noox (edited )LinkAt that point, if I were paying 1$ per year just to support a news outlet, I'd feel like the 230$ option is like they're spitting in the face of the already paying consumers though. On the other...But almost immediately, it also occurred to me that they probably lost more readership going from $0/year to $1/year, than going from $1 to $230 so, you know, business-wise, I suppose it's not exactly a horrible decision.
At that point, if I were paying 1$ per year just to support a news outlet, I'd feel like the 230$ option is like they're spitting in the face of the already paying consumers though.
On the other hand, Netflix directly spat in the face of everyone when they said no more sharing accounts, and they're still doing fine, so what do I know Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Super nice to hear you were able to have a connection like that though! That feels a little similar to emailing the author of a peer reviewed article - in many cases they're just a research nerd and don't get a dime from the publication journal that's pay walling their article, so if you mail them and ask nicely, they'll probably just send you a direct PDF :)

Noox LinkI'm definitely a satisfier married to a maximizer, but for a second I was incredibly confused and thought we were talking about something, err, else :') Interesting ideas though! Never really...I'm definitely a satisfier married to a maximizer, but for a second I was incredibly confused and thought we were talking about something, err, else :')

Comment on What did you do this week (and weekend)? in ~talk
Noox LinkI've been on my first holiday since 2017! Currently in the lovely Bali, Indonesia - and it's been amazing.

Going home the day after tomorrow, but it's been an absolute blast.
I may or may not have had a few drinks as of the writing of this comment.

Comment on How do you decide when to buy a new computer, smartphone, etc.? in ~tech
Noox Link ParentI'd do this OP, or alternatively you could upgrade while you think it's at the end of its life, and then keep it around as a backup device. That's what I do - I have my 'new' 3.5 year old laptop,...I'd do this OP, or alternatively you could upgrade while you think it's at the end of its life, and then keep it around as a backup device. That's what I do - I have my 'new' 3.5 year old laptop, and then I have my - now almost 10 - year old laptop. It struggles to work, but i start it up every 6 months and check if its still okay, and thus far its been fine except i can't use it without plugging it in. So I know that if my 'new' laptop ever dropped dead on me I'd at least live for a few days while deciding on a new one and waiting for it to arrive.

Has it actually ever been good or do just people think it was good 'way back then'? Ya know, the same way the middle ages are romanticised, but it's conveniently forgotten they didn't have a central sewage system so shit just ran in shit-rivers down the street.

Noox Link ParentYou are very welcome and also I apologise for the free time you're about to lose.You are very welcome and also I apologise for the free time you're about to lose.
I'm excited to see we're thinking about kicking off again! Real life got hella in the way the last time but I've been feeling the creative itch for a while again (and I miss you lot!!!)
Having said that, we bought our first house last November and have been non-stop getting it ready for the past year, and we're FINALLY set to move in at the end of December, so I expect my free time to be pretty low in the rest of 2025 now that I think about it π₯² so I'll add my vote for maybe waiting until Jan 2026, but if not then I'll still do my best to join as much as I can, deff in the first few days - need to find the best villager couch to surf on in the middle of town square again π
