When i give something, i give wholeheartedly. They can do whatever they want with it; keep it, sell it, throw it in the trash, give it away, or recycle it. Otherwise i would feel like i gave them something with some restrictions attached. I will also never check what they did with it. I gave them something because i wanted to give them something. It's nice if they like it, but it's not an obligation to appreciate it.

    To add to the comments; many people and laws still view animals as objects, to do with as one pleases. I still hear americans -i'm from europe- talking about animals as 'it'.

    Edit; typo

    I just saw an old blog post from Proton about joining forces with Standard Notes. It's from 2 years ago and it said:

    In the coming months, we hope to find ways to make Standard Notes more easily accessible to the Proton community>

    I never even heard of it until someone alerted me to it, as i was looking for a new note taking app. I landed on Obsidian, but i thought it might be useful to have my notes incorporated in my proton account. So, i'm suspecting it is basically dead?

    Proton keeps adding new stuff, shelving older plans indefinitely, that's my impression anyway.

    The older i got, the happier i became. Despite physical aches and decline. Mentally, i'm much stronger now. And i don't care should people not really like me, or have whatever opinions about me. Also, being kind to others makes you happier.

    Yes, i see them frequently. Planes often have blinking lights and fly lower. And shooting stars are already gone in the blink of an eye. Also, i have an app -Stellarium - that, if in doubt, shows whether they're satellites.

    With all these pics from the Artemis, including ones from the earth; why don't we see any satellites and other stuff that circles the earth? Are they too small to see at these distances? Still, i would expect some of them to at least glint in the sunlight.

    Update; thanks for confirming it's indeed that they are too small to see. Also, i didn't think of the pixels, good point.

    Papyrus on my android. It's not even in the playstore anymore, but i keep -and backup- apk's. It's just the simplest notes app, without any markup. It saves as simple text files.

    I just open it, jot something down, and leave it. Saves automatically. It might be way more than 10 years even, 15 plus years?

    I hope this is not off topic. I love using 4k screensavers for my tv, like long forest walks, birds, or fish. Unfortunately almost all of the fish ones are creatures from the oceans. I like those too, but does anyone know of some nice, hours long, videos from freshwater fish or shrimp?

    I miss my fishtanks, so i would really enjoy watching them on tv, whether in the wild or in big tanks.

     

    I already had a huge one that grows on a huge trellis (and then searches everywhere for new spots to cling to, slowly overtaking the wall at every opportunity it gets), but i also wanted one as a hanging plant. This one is actually propagated. On april 19 i put three completely leafless stems in water. First, it started growing some tiny leafs, next came the roots. It is a fast grower. The backside is a dark red. Many people think it is a begonia, but it has no relationship to begonias. Last summer i had to leave for three weeks and it dried out and lost most of its leaves and then did nothing much. I thought i lost it, but repotted it and removed the dead leaves and low and behold, it started sprouting leaves all over the stems, surpassed the top of the trellis, and now already found a painting to cling to :-)
