On Aging
Things I notice as I get older:
I only upgrade my phone when it's old, and I'm considering a dumb phone for some ocasions!
My laptop is now 5 years old and counting.
I read more RSS feeds than web sites, because the web has turned to shit with so much cookie consents, ads, and paywalls! Most RSS apps are shit, so I use my own Feedplay.
Most of my catching up with the news is actually through podcasts, even with a 12 hour iatus you can still get the gist of things. Most podcast apps are also shit, that's why I use Podcastle. Try it! It's free, and open source!
Sometimes I use mutt to check my email and wildcard all mails for deletion, so I don't even read them anymore, and I truly am a zero inbox guy!
Lost the ability to get up at 6 am, instead shifted activities when the sun is up and bright.
After losing my religion, I also lost my faith in politics.
I have quit using several social networks, including X.
I don't watch TV anymore, because it's turned to shit.
I don't listen to radio on the car, only podcasts - carplay FTW!
I miss old operating systems! Windows NT, and 2000 especially.
Next year I will turn 50, I hear that's when things turn to shit.
