I thought about this a few times at my last job, but unfortunately the job was solo work and if no one showed up, the whole contract would have been rescinded. My boss certainly abused my sense of responsibility, though.

I had to in my case. I worked for a company that was contracted out and had an on site boss. So instead of something like management calling me from the work phone, it was always the boss that did it from her personal cell.

My ex-fiancee and ex-girlfriend for 7 years was getting hit on by our boss. She used to brag to me about it. They started texting back and forth until suddenly she wanted to "just be friends" with me (which entitled "benefits").

This was all about a month before our wedding. So naturally I declined being "friends" and slept with her bride's maid. We decided the sex was good enough to try dating.

That was 12 years ago now.

That's enough from you, gregorium.

I found a cool little app on F-Droid called Gramophone. It has neat little animations that make me happy, and it can color the player controls according to album art. I'm a sucker for nice UI. I was using Auxio before that. Both are good.

If you want something for ad-less streaming, RiMusic is really nice. For local audiobook playback with chapter selection, Voice is the best I've found so far.

Two people, a cat, and a venerable bunny with a large cage. Litter and shavings usually account for one full bag a week, as we can't really keep it around smelling in our apartment. Our cat has some medical stomach issues with diarrhea, so scooping only goes so far (he's on special vet assigned food). Its about one bag a week for us excluding pets, with an extra full bag of the previously mentioned dry garbage every 3 weeks. We try to keep things low and recycle where we can.

I may also be overestimating a little bit right now, since we're in the middle of spring cleaning, but even then most spring cleaning stuff goes to the free store, not the trash.

None taken, friend. I understand that, but I still think about these things a lot. I'm still young enough where I could have a happy accident, even if we're not trying. My mind is always on how to be a good father if it did.

Two bags a week here. As long as there's nothing that'll rot in them, we try and keep bags around in the spare room until they're completely filled. Dry unrecyclable garbage, basically.

The rubbish that exits my mouth, however, that's endless; especially if I've been drinking.

This is the way to go. I don't have kids, but it's how my sisters went about it. For the longest time if my nephew wanted to call and talk to me, the number would ring up as my sister's number, because not only was it a spare phone, but it was dually connected with her number (not sure how tbh, she worked for a carrier for a long time).

It's just hard to find that thin line between allowing them to have something or have them be behind all their friends who do have access to one.

My policy would probably be worse, tbh. I'd toss them an old Nokia and be like, "Legends say it'll take the force of an 18 wheeler and a flood and still work." For context, I had a friend who ran his over 3 times with his dad's mack truck, reducing it to just a screen and PCB which he used as his phone at school. Then I watched him accidentally drop and fully submerge said screen and PCB into a half foot deep puddle while we ran down a mountain in a thunderstorm and that sucker still worked.

It was his experiment, to keep trying to destroy it to the point where he couldn't use it but have to use it if it did. I think it died not too long after, though.

Can confirm, I had a heck of a time figuring out Bluetooth and sound myself. The distro I was using came with Bluetooth hard disabled and PulseAudio by default. The wiki, these four packages, and setting my Bluetooth to autostart on login got everything working with minimal hassle.

I've started using Fulguris lately, just random tryout. Its actually decent and has a built in content blocker where you can add lists with the big three main ones already being there. I'm not 100% sure how barebones privacy is on it, but it is open source and from what Exodus says there's no trackers (unless you opt into Google Crash Reporting which is off by default). It does have some extra permissions you might not need, so if you want a near-permissionless browser, it might not bwe the one for you.

If you haven't tried Spiritfarer, it's absolutely worth the playthrough. So many feels...
