After we were married wife kept her last name, partially for professional reasons partially because she didn’t like my last name :-) When we had kids we decided that the kids would have my last name to avoid hyphen hell and her last name is super generic so any time she has to search for an account at the bank or anything like that she almost always has someone else with the same first and last name it can be a pain to find the correct “her”

first things first i really appreciate the effort. going to be honest i wasn’t really expecting a response. to answer you questions.

• I only had bromite installed so i tried some other lemmy instances to test, but not another browser. I did check it on the desktop as well (which worked fine).
• i use f-droid to install most software on Android.
• i had recently re-installed my phone and assumed everything was up to date… i guess it was, doesn’t help when the repo hasn’t been updated in 2 years.
• i just learned that bromite’s main developer got bored and basically left. so yes, i was using a 2 year old browser 😳

So i installed Cromite and Firefox and all works well. I do appreciate having the lemmy.nz instance so thank you. and apologies if i created any work for you.

Here in New Zealand you can buy it at the Hardware store in 20KG bags. Older houses have pot belly “stoves” for heat, which are smaller then log burners usually, and coal is the best fuel for them.
