@lyse Easier said than done. I really do want to have a *phone* for emergencies (and some people are only reachable via SMS, oddly enough). Maybe I can get away with buying a super cheap and super simple one.

Smartphones got so large the last few years. My goodness. What’s the plan here, make them indistinguishable from tablets? 🤨

More data contradicting the existence of "echo chambers". As I've argued many times before, the concept of an echo chamber or information bubble is not real. The podcast below is an interview of an author of a study where they actually intervened and changed the information diet of 20,000 people (with consent!), then surveyed them after three months. They observed essentially no changes to the study subjects' beliefs and attitudes. They also observed that the typical person, while they tend to gravitate towards people with similar political leanings, only get about 50% of their content from such like-minded people. They get the rest from neutral sources and maybe 20% from non-like-minded people.
Varied information diet + No change in attitudes when information diet is forced to be different = no echo chamber.

Battery in my smartphone died. Can’t be replaced. It’s roughly 3 years old.
Now I have to find a replacement, which annoys the hell out of me. 😒 (I checked the prices of Fairphone, PinePhone, Librem, but sorry, all way too expensive.)

@rrraksamam for a good recommendation we are going to need more information. For the laptop, what would its intended use be? Do you need to run Microsoft Windows? Does it needs WiFi? Destination (for power outlets)? For the phone, do you need it to be “smart”? Physical, or software SIM? Do you want it to work where you are going (destination is needed)?
Details are in the pudding.

@prologic Had a scouting game with the scouts today. The story was that some leaders didn't want to let go their older kids to the next section and thus stole and hid the new neckerchiefs. So the children had to solve all sorts of puzzles in groups to get a new hint and figure out new coordinates that eventually lead to the hidden box. One station was diving for apples, the kids had really great fun. Eventually, the box with the neckerchiefs was successfully located under the hut at the scout yard.
This meant the older kids of all the sections could finally leave their mates and join the next sections. Each section comes up with some kind of an entry exam each year. What you can see in the photos is the scouts ("Jungpfadfinder", or short "Jupfis") who are wearing blue colored neckerchiefs and explorers ("Pfadfinder"/"Pfadis") in green. The old cubs ("Wölfinge"/"Wös") joining as new scouts had to guess the type of both yummy and nasty blue dyed liquids. Banana juice, cucumber water and the like.
The explorers welcomed their new members with a quiz of green things. Somebody started with the name of something green. The next person then had to find another term of a green-colored item that started with the same letter the previous thing ended in. E.g. grass, slime, emerald, dill, etc. If someone couldn't think of a thing within fifteen seconds, they had to choose left or right and whatever another person behind them was secretly holding up in the air was then mixed into a cup as penalty. In the end they all had to savor this yucky gnat's piss. Apparently, kids love such kind of torture. :-D
No slug was harmed by the campfire. It was professionally rescued before the wood shavings were set on fire. Saussages and buns left over from yesterday's party were put to good use. Also marshmallows and stick bread. All in all, a great fun day.

Unfortunately, we cannot watch the sunset from the scout yard as it is located in a valley. But I timed the way home just perfectly.
Next week I have to sort through a thousand photos of two cameras from just this weekend. I'm already hating myself because I was one of the photographers. And a third source of pictures will be added. Örks.

mmm, enjoyed it. at 0100 this morning woke up to my right calf seizing (not sure if that is the right term). when i finally got up at 0500-ish to prep for the run it still was tight (still is tight hours later) but stretching helped out a bunch. don't think it affected the run really though. that, or i just didn't care because i was enjoying the low humidity too much.
