Happy Sunday! Going to be a beautiful day! (And our favorite deer came by for a visit this AM).
Nothing better than a cup of coffee and hanging out with the deer in the morning...

Packing in on horseback though does qualify...
I suppose that island would qualify, but the intent was that if you can drive there it's not one of the best places on Earth...
Whoa...I also was unaware of this...but also checked it out:

If you can get there by internal combustion, it's automatically disqualified.
Most people are "comfortable" with their lives, and want the simple "easy button" way...and that means believing in the government, and that it has things under control.
After all, they give you "free stuff" right?
WHOA!!! And does that fall under the current "no license needed" with CB?
Have on "old school" CB unit from the 70s (thank you eBay) right now--not a lot of use for it (but it does look pretty "retro cool")...
Be interesting to see if this takes off...

Agree--it's a PHONE...it was designed to communicate by VOICE.
I think there'd actually be a market for a "phone" that only texts, and doesn't have voice capability...
Yup--exactly like Tails.
If you really want to play, get a large thumb drive and load Ventoy:

That will let you put multiple OS images on a single thumb drive, and then boot to whichever one you'd. like. Really a cool piece of software.
Huh...new one for me (Rocky) - I see it's a Red Hat variant...may have to give it a try! Thanks!!
As an analytical person and former psychologist, Iāve always been fascinated by studying human behaviorāespecially in the digital age. The idea of sharing oneās life online is an entirely new phenomenon, unique to this century.
While reading āHatching Twitterā (though Iām not convinced weāre getting the real version of that story), one of the early chapters mentions that no one would feel comfortable sharing their life online. Today, that thought seems almost bizarre when you consider how nearly everyone is doing just that. However, Iām left questioning how beneficial this has been for humanity as a whole.
I find myself comparing this to the invention of electricity, which fills me with awe and a sense of advancement. But when it comes to the tech revolution and its effects on the human mind, I have my doubts. The original intention of social media was to make people feel more connected and less alone, but paradoxically, it feels like people are more isolated than ever before.
Last year, I took a significant step back from social media. I shut down my online business, deleted all social media apps from my phone, and nostr:npub1dtgg8yk3h23ldlm6jsy79tz723p4sun9mz62tqwxqe7c363szkzqm8up6m can vouch for thisāeach time he showed me something from one of those apps, I felt disgusted with what the world had become. During that time, I felt truly free, as if I had finally taken off a mask. However, I also noticed an odd side effect: I felt disconnected from the world. I wasnāt updated on what my friends were doing, and I missed that sense of social interaction, even if it was superficial.
One of the most intriguing aspects of social media is how followers, likes, and engagement seem to dictate peopleās sense of worth and relationships. People can become genuinely offended if someone they know unfollows them, to the point where they may not want to maintain an in-person relationship anymore. Itās as if the virtual world is dictating real-life connections: āOh, you unfollowed me? I guess we canāt be friends in real life.ā Itās a strange, almost absurd shift in human interaction.
Another bizarre aspect of social media is the idea that people who donāt resonate with youāor even dislike youācan still follow your life closely. They can see what you think, feel, and do daily. Ex-lovers and people from your past are just one click away from finding out what youāre up to nowadays. This level of access to personal information still feels surreal to me. How much information we handle and share without second thoughts is, frankly, unsettling.
In the end, while social media has undoubtedly changed the way we connect, it raises the question: has it truly improved our lives, or are we more isolated, less authentic, and increasingly detached from genuine human connection?

Btw, GM Famš¹
Read recently that Gen z'ers are actually AFRAID to speak on the phone--a real phobia.
And it's crippling them as they transition to the business world...
How is it that people are actually afraid to talk to others? What a crime...and social media / technology / phones are to blame...
Not sure how we solve this either....
