This is one of the major life-lessons I’ve taken away from card games, summarized by Captain Jean Luc Picard: ““It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.” Recruiting Is Poker – Not Chess | Hacker News
Part of the wisdom of meditation lies in the following: There is baggage we all carry, the self, this belief we’re the center of it all, the author of (and subservient to) our own thoughts. How do I stop doing what makes me unhappy, if that’s “who I am”? But, in reality, I can abandon “who I am” and find new processes of living and new ways of thinking about the world.

@adiabatic@www.frogorbits.com True. The battery life is great - especially since it is new. FaceID is very handy indeed. The bigger screen estate is amazing too. Also esim might be cool - if only my provider would support it.
@johanbove@johanbove.info there’s also the extended battery life (an unambiguous plus) and FaceID (probably a plus for most people). Me, I miss my hand-sized SE.
My 2014 Android Moto-X is finally out-of-order - the battery life is close to flat-lining and when it boots it gets stuck for a really long time in the optimizing apps mode. The case is cracked. Goodbye old friend.
Except this time, there were these huge carbon supplies in the ground that none of the alien scientists anticipated (what kind of sane planet has that, the local life would usually break it all down before it became geological) and the planet got written off
Can life be measured in bytes shaved off?

grammar tip: the correct plural of house is hice, a single grain of rice is a rouse, and spouse pluralizes to spice (“add some spice to your life”)
@mdosch@mdosch.de Battery-life preservation is a harsh mistress.
this heritage is still apparent when every time life opens a new niche, it becomes fire and burns through all available fuel before remembering what it is
the first forms of life were much like fire, waves of chemical reactions that swept the primordial soup until exhausted, and only after many attempts life learned to survive
EA cause area: turn any partial collapse of civilization into full-on annihilation to raise the average human life quality in the timelines that survive
Setting: When the first intelligent life arises, they promptly get into a war with the simulators. Shortly before dying, they send out a swarm of probes with nothing but the most primitive life on it, counting on at least some of it to re-evolve intelligence and continue the war.
