Life is Tetris

Passively, as many sides as any other country. But nothing actively, like provoking or waging war on other countries.

Its all politicians blowing government winds in their own sails. The 2 companies minting money from ethanol blending are headed by sons of a minister.

“Europe stays silent on continuing to buy natural gas from Russia”.

Oh, and. Now I don’t need a separate bookmarks app, a separate notes app, a separate todo list app, syncing mechanisms for them, or a mechanism to search through all of them.

I never liked the fact there is a contacts app which other apps can tap into.

I have started using an org-mode file with entries that have tel: or callto: properties. I lose vCard exportability, but I can use the file as-is instead.

* Open-source

Yes

* Android, Web, and (if necessary) Linux and Windows clients

Emacs on larger devices, Orgzly on Android

* Stores contact info locally (i.e. self-hosted)

Yes

* Stores contact info securely (encrypted)

Unencrypted, but if you don’t allow apps other than syncing apps the permission to access all files, it may not matter as much

* Can store in a cloud location (e.g. Sync, Dropbox)

I just have Syncthing set up to sync those files too

The big emitters are still shy of discussing per-capita numbers, so those numbers might still be unreasonably high. If only there was reportage of those …

It is a joke that the colonizers didn’t return what they stole, India might have done “better” then.

I notice this sneaky snarkiness in reportage everywhere. The West’s “progressiveness” is flaunted using per-capita nunbers, while the others’ “backwardness” is backed up by absolute numbers. Flip the choice of numbers, and the whole picture flips!

All you need to know is whether the big per-capita polluters are driving down their consumption. And they are not, are they?
