A bit of rant toot today. (1 of x)

#Mobile #phones They are little #computers little spy devices. Needing a SIM with a contract for our #surveillance #capitalism to track you.
They are small boxes of magic; you seldom know what they are truly up to. Not to be trusted at all, and yet we build our lives around them. Banking, Calendar, Contacts, Chats: You need a SIM-Chip. Convenient and diabolical.

As much as I want #neuromorphic #computing to be here already, I must admit it's not and can no longer do #research entirely on a #mobile #phone

Having said that, I'm actually amazed that I haven't used a #laptop in over a year and got this far. But, needless to say, continuing #autaxys requires seeing more than 30-ish lines of #text at a time.

Off to (#procrastinate at) the #computer store!

I'm not a fan of adding text to #Obsidian from #mobile. Is there some sort of plugin, Draft methodology or similar that will allow me to edit a "daily note" of sorts, and have the text of that note appended to a *single* main "daily notes" file? I want to add a paragraph a day to the file, at the end, but opening it I have to scroll all the way down manually which is a pain. No Logseq won't help. No, individual daily notes won't help. No, "save cursor position" plugin doesn't help. #obsidianhelp
#1984 #totalitarianism #hegemony #vodafone #mobile #phones . It is only when you lose access to your mobile phone number that you realise just how much power those companies exert in your day to day. I'm in dispute with them, many of my other accounts, shopping, enquiries, access to other platforms rely on a phone number for two factor bollox. No valid mobile number, set many moons ago, no access. Hmm. not changing for that bunch of cunning stunts.
