Another day ill in bed, but at least things have improved enough to spend some time with Snowden's book. Chapter 5 next (after a pause).
I found the intro describing his impeccable American settler pedigree and the family's military and public service history somewhat tiring, but I guess it's important for the more conservative part of his home audience.
His early online experiences are very relatable, though I'm older and spent my teens on non-internet BBSes and the like. "Hacking", next.
Oh the hell... Why is Android 8.1 on this BlackBerry insisting on formatting SD cards with ExFat, when it can't keep its shit together? I have a mere 6k files in my media library on that card, and things get corrupted after just a couple of days each time I do a fresh sync over from the iTunes media directory?
Fun things like directories that can't be found or files that can be found but not read, and then random resets when hitting some of those.
Just let me make this old adopted storage pls?

Dear #MastoMind: Does anyone recall a #Solaris / #SunOS version of #MicrosoftOffice that may have been offered in the late 1990s?
I seem to recall this, but can't track anything down.
Thanks.

@aral sorry, that supersize coupon is only valid for the dystopian part of your order. Everything else must be fought over. But you can raise this issue with our citizen support representative, he'll be waiting for you in the detention area.
So my partner would prefer if I didn't listen to Stef Chura on loudspeakers since she thinks the voice is plain unbearable...
