I use simplyTel and am pretty happy: https://www.simplytel.de/

Also, I feel way out of touch. I have 3 GB and very rarely reach the limit.

I've been using it at work, where my work email is in Gmail. I find it a good desktop email client, though even with its redesign, some things show their age. I also find that if you're using Google for your mail, there is still some stuff lacking. I blame Google more for that than Thunderbird though :).

So in short, I call it good enough (I like it way better than Apple's Mail and Calendar programs), but it is still bas a ways to go to be great.

Thanks! I found the instructions here, which don't seem too hard: https://blog.voip.ms/voip-on-cell-phones-ios-and-android/

But otherwise, VoIP.ms looks pretty much like what I'm looking for. It also seems super super cheap for my needs (keep a phone number alive, make a few calls or SMSes per year).

It's not as fully-featured as the Emacs one, but yes: https://github.com/nvim-orgmode/orgmode

A good suggestion, and I've heard a lot about it over the past week :). I haven't played Baldur's Gate since the first one, and I was a bit too young for itr back then. Just bought it and it's downloadin now

XCOM is a great idea. I played it years ago, but never made it to the end.

Oh wow, there's some nostalgia.

I've done Monkey Island already, and enjoyed the new one too. I haven't played Myst sine I was 8 and my uncle had it on his computer and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing.

I...do not know what to think

Oh wow! That sounds rough.

I have a nice full arm cast from my elbow to my wrist (Oberarmschiene). I just learned that I will have it removed next week already, because they don't want to immobilize it for too long, but I was told it will hurt a lot after it's removed, so we'll see how that goes...

My thumb is indeed mobile, but my wrist is locked in place, so it is indeed quite uncomfortable to grip a mouse.

I have a great memory at PAX of playing life-size Tsuro, where the players are the pieces. Good fun :)

I use Fastmail on the web, and Aqua Mail as my Android client.

The joy of using almost any enail servie other than Gmail or Outlook is that you can use basically any IMAP client you want :). Yes, I know that they both also support IMAP, but it never seems to work quite as well as one might hope.

Welcome to org-roam!

For opening a file, you can use M-x org-roam-node-find. You can then either create a new node or visit an existing one.

The manual has some info about having multiple directories. It's not super smooth, but it does work: https://www.orgroam.com/manual.html#How-do-I-have-more-than-one-Org_002droam-directory_003f

Very good about the chancellors! One of the questions that I didn't get was "Who was the first chancellor of the united Germany?", which is indeed Kohl :).

And I was also joking that the real integration test is how you react when they tell you that you'll receive the results by post. If you nod wisely and agree that's the only correct way, you're ready for citizenship :).

I have never heard of this game, but the word "Fearamid" is doing a good job of convincing me

I've been using variable-pitch-mode in my Org files for a few years: I find it nicer for writing design documents, meeting notes, and documentation. And I use it for all Org files, as if I embed code in a source block, that's still monospaced and font locked. Best of all worlds :).

The only issue I have is that I use org-indent-mode, and sometimes the spacing doesn't 100% line up, especially with bulleted lists. But I have long since gotten used to that.

Today, I paid for lunch in cash, even though the restaurant accepted card. Exact change. And it was over 10€, but I paid only using coins.
