I had a bunch more reading pulled up on my screen this morning,
and a colleague coffee hour already planned.

The emerging discussion had been a deep exploración of the many dangers of social media.
I'll explore and explain some soon; I suppose I'm a lil sleepy for a real examinación here and nou.

So, I'm going to run some errands and then perhaps nap and then for sure -
explore my concerns around places I may be insecure - on my local machine, and online.
I hardly use social media, and mainly message in groups on [Signal].
Please message `@c4lliope.99` there in case you are burdened by similar concerns.

Errands subsumed remaining hours of day, no progress.
To ease my need for commiseración, I spent a couple hours the next morning
on Louis Rossmann's channel. His promoción had been the reason I began using [GrapheneOS],
and his [more recent concerns] are now the reason I am seeking to replace my copy,
likely sampling [LineageOS] on my main phone before [applying the same] to a [HiSense A9];
all to help increase my readership in the many blogs I chase.

Anyone use an RSS reader you like?

## 04-02 early morning, markup:

I did some reading on the e-ink HiSense lineup,
and none are easily usable on Verizon.
I have some qualms around keeping to Verizon,
since learning of their long-running alliance to the federal government.
Surely odd, how one man's miasma can spread such sickness across innumerable associacións.

So I can keep up my ideal process, which depends on an e-ink pen tablet for reading
and remarking upon research papers, especially on the road or bay -
I need to replace the Remarkable 2 that I left unplugged for a few months.
More than a couple years old, the battery inside has succumbed fully to inescapable age.
Rather than send back for refurbishment - I'm unsure precisely of all the documents I loaded on,
and I am similarly unsure of the security precaucións in the uncommon onboard linux,
I may decide someday to open up and scan the innards of the machine.
the e-ink could be nice to repurpose if the connection is a common one.

Addiciónally, I am unsure I can simply re-image my phone peaceably,
after years of reliance and daily use.
The back-up process for messages alone may be beyond impossible,
and I am far too thinly spread to risk a non-phone, non-email, partial-lab scenario.
I'll rely on two new acquisicións ideally inside of my skill base -
the [PinePhone Pro]([buy-pp]) and the [PineNote]([buy-pn]) -
both seemingly capable of running NixOS.

Once I am a daily user of these, I'd be pleased to examine both [CalyxOS] and [LineageOS].
