  • Oh man this is so me!

    I grew up in the rural USA in a pretty area with lots of space. I enjoyed a lot about it, but I didn’t realise how suffocating it was until I spent a couple weeks living in a walkable city in Europe.

    It was magical! The freedom I felt by being able to walk/cycle/take a bus somewhere without having to be driven! The feeling of being able to just go meet people!

    Fast forward a decade or so and I moved to Europe (as an adult). Still magical! Imagine being able to walk to the bar! No looking for parking! No car payments!

    I’m never going back…

    That being said, I understand why many people are resistant to density. Cities that do density poorly (I.e. 99% of US cities, and many European ones) are miserable to be in. There is a reason that people visit Venice and not Houston…


  • I use it to run the Sky App to stream football.

    The only options are a windows app or an android app (since you can’t watch in the browser) and I couldn’t get the windows app to work with WINE.

    The android app runs fairly well with waydroid, although it occasionally runs into some hiccups.
