All I want is a SIP Text Messaging client with support for EAP-AKA authentication where the implementation is simple enough for me, an idiot, to understand.

We're moving our cell phone service from T/Mobile to Tello — which uses the T/Mobile network, so we expect similar coverage with perhaps lower priority during busy times. We're switching to get a 60% lower bill, and better VoWifi support to use overseas with a local eSIM.

Public Service Announcement: Measles is still spreading out of control. Its just that we're haphazardly testing, handling vaccination drives as heroic efforts in individual cities and towns, and the CDC is not publishing even what data there is.

"The FDA announced that it ... will require manufacturers to conduct clinical trials to show whether the vaccines are of benefit to healthy younger adults and children." Not just a recommendation, actively preventing access to booster shots. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

Ok, I need a rooted Android phone of recent vintage for some mischief. I don't want to root any of our current devices, to avoid triggering the wrath of the Play Store. Maybe eBay for a working Pixel {6, 7, 8} with a cracked screen?

Sesame Street is on Netflix now? So they get two seasons, then Netflix cancels them.

My phone just sounded a jarring emergency noise. It said Silver Alert for an endangered adult, and included a bitly link. I could see it displayed on top of the lockscreen. I unlocked the phone... and there is nothing. I guess I was supposed to memorize the bitly link before unlocking the phone.

Ok, so now I just have to find a wireless carrier whose VoWifi ePDG either has no allowlist of allowed clients or allows non-Android Linux clients. Simple. Sure thing.

www.reddit.com/r/Canadianci... I guess at the moment one can claim back a few more generations to a Canadian ancestor than I thought.

Um... I'd prefer to just continue being regular friends, thanks. Thanks for thinking of me? I'm sure you'll find the right customer out there. I've never been propositioned by a mobile carrier before.

I hope the US is doing something about India and Pakistan. Making some calls. Something. Maybe?

If I become a victim of gun violence and someone uses AI to torment my killer and make anti-gun propaganda messages: Fuck, Yeah! Rock on. The best use of AI, ever. I will cheer from the afterlife.

Kudos for *trying* to comply with the Records Act and retention in their use of Signal to communicate war plans. It maybe resulted in leaking all of those conversations to adversaries, but their intent was noble. <hand to ear> I am receiving word that their intent was not, in fact, noble.

I'm worried that Signal may be severely damaged by all of this. Not by hacking, they were already targeted by nation-state attacks. I'm worried that popular opinion will work against them in ways that Signal is less prepared for.

Today I learned that there is a YouTube Premium Lite plan, about half the cost, and which made me happy. Today I also learned that there is no Lite Family plan, and now I haz a sad.

The Misters 16 have not heard messages that Men are Bad, that they should be ashamed of being male, etc. They HAVE heard claims that "The Left says Men are Bad and men should be ashamed." Manipulation.

When you're so over-caffeinated that the only rational plan is to order another and hope to wrap back around to zero.
