In-reply-to » One was able to purchase iPhones on instalments (and interest free), whether they were associated with a carrier, or not. The only way to buy them on instalments now is if the are associated with a carrier; otherwise one gets charged the full amount up front.

@prologic@twtxt.net in this case it isn’t vendor lock-in. I believe they do it because the carrier “eats” the costs (the interest part of the instalments). The phones are fully unlocked.

I will return the two we got for parents, and re-buy them again, this time on an instalment plan. Why pay $2,000 up front when you can split the cost in convenient monthly payments, all interest free, right?

@bender@twtxt.net I hate vendor lock-in too 🤣

In-reply-to » Hit by the arvo sun rays behind the window I was convinced that it is t-shirt weather. Deep blue sky, yeah, for sure! It turned out to be just 15°C and declining, though. So, I had to wear my jacket on today's windy stroll. Pretty nice. Didn't take many photos, but there you go: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-10/

@bender@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Thanks! I’ll think about switching to higher resolution teasers in the future. The reasoning behind the thumbnails is to avoid wasting traffic. Maybe folks in the outback or on expensive mobile networks appreciate it. Yeah, they could disable images in general.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org 01.jpg could have been a Windows wallpaper. 😃

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org that’s such a beautiful shot! If I were you I would use the full “original” one; it will do better justice to the shots. Oh, and I gladly take your 15°C! 😍

In-reply-to » Another nice stroll in nature last week: https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2025-04-03/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @ionores@twtxt.net Thank you! Nope, still a petting farm over here. The only dangerous (to humans) animals are boars and ticks. But I only ever encountered a wild hog once in my entire life so far. Luckily, it took off and didn’t attack me. Ticks, on the other hand, regularly attack me.

In-reply-to » @kate @eldersnake @abucci -- I've already spoken to @xuu on IRC about this, but the new SqliteCache backend I'm working on here, what are your thoughts regarding mgirations from old MemoryCache (which is now gone in the codebase in this branch). Do you care to migrate at all, or just let the pod re-fetch all feeds? 🤔

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci Apologies, the basic summary is as follows:

  • Decided to rewrite the cache backend.
  • It will now be a SQLite backend going forward.
  • I’m planning on no data migration.

@prologic@twtxt.net I haven’t been tracking these changes or conversation. Can you link me to something so that I can catch up?
