• Cool Localdesktop Software

  Today, I discovered Localdesktop. It installs a Linux desktop on your phone based on Arch. I’m installing it now. I think is going to do great with my Nexdock I ordered.

  Local Desktop helps you run a desktop Linux environment on your Android device.

• Buy with Intention. A Santiago Partnership Sumak Store Plug

  Looking to buy with more intention this year? Here’s a great place to check out. This is a store that is in partnership with a community in Ecuador. Items are from the community and resold in the USA. Money made goes right back to the community. Today, I’ve poured myself a cup of coffee from this store. The Alpaca blankets are the softest things you’ll ever feel! My wife loves the handbags.

• That Midwest Weather

  If you are wondering what the weather in the #midwestUSA is like, today is a good example. At noon, 66°F, but in a few hours, it’ll feel like 14°F!

• It’s Okay To Live A Life Others Don’t Understand

  I took this screenshot a few years ago. I needed this today, a reminder that it’s ok not to be normal… Because I ain’t normal.

• You Need Photo Storage Redundancy

  Please share to help get awareness out. A story about how a person lost 25 years of his digital photos because of a gift card malfunction.

  Stories like this is exactly why I run my own cloud and file storage.I have heard this same story too many times, sometimes it’s Apple, sometimes it’s Google, Sometimes it’s Facebook. But they end the same. 20ish years of photos, files, and precious moments lost and no one at these big companies to resolve it. Read it and then ask me how you can run your own hub. Even if your hub is a backup to your Apple/Google accounts.

  #^20 Years of Digital Life, Gone in an Instant, thanks to Apple

  

  Summary: A major brick-and-mortar store sold an Apple Gift Card that Apple seemingly took offence to, and locked out my entire Apple ID, effectively bricking my devices and my iCloud Account, Apple Developer ID, and everything associated with it, and I have no recourse. Can you help? Email paris AT paris.id.au (and read on for the details). ❤️
  Here’s how Apple “Permanently” locked my Apple ID.
  I am writing this as a desperate measure.
