I really like Reddit as a resource for niche topics. Would like to participate but it doesn’t feel sustainable to do so on a privately owned platform.

Lemmy has it own problems regarding this like instances shutting off. Maybe it’s not really made for this. Regardless i have stayed because of the conversation and human interactions.

Remember wanting an Arduboy ever since they announced it, curious how active the community still is.

The Dipytyx looks also great, to make your decision more difficult I will inform you now that the Open Book Touch will be a thing.

Current phone is from 2019 (iPhone 11 Pro) so 6 years and counting, but im getting real jealous of Android users as all the cool FOSS stuff gets released there first or exclusive . Wont be buying a new one until it breaks though. Honestly its a miracle how well it still works, I did swap out most apps with FOSS alternatives though and I do notice the difference when i compare it to an iPhone 15 running Instagram and other spyware in terms of battery life and overall performance. Liquid ass, 120hz, 5G and other stuff doesn’t help either.

I really don’t like how it’s so common nowadays for furniture to not even outlive one person. It became fashion thanks to IKEA. Fuck IKEA.

Also like Transmit and DaisyDisk, even though you have less fancy FOSS alternatives for that, which work just as well.

I do not use MacOS anymore but when I did I have bought Pixelmator, it’s really good. Atleast when I have used it, the company behind it was bought by Apple since then.

Wish there would be something similar for Linux :( Gimp is like the opposite of intuitive.

Do you actually want super light laptops? I feel like there is a sweet spot, but who knows maybe I would even want one, never held it in my hands/used it.

I feel like this comes at the cost of repairability as well though.

I make a list, tick off the first couple of things then, for whatever reason, forget about the list completely and go through the store winging it and forgetting half of the things that were left on there. every single time.

FYI: I know this is not “built in” but on Firefox it is super easy to install an AdBlocker, like its about 6 seconds with a decent internet connection and precise mouse movements. Have to opt out of AI shit as well though.

• Starter Packs in the MicroBlogVerse (Which is coming to Mastodon!)
• Multis in the ThreadiVerse (Which is also coming to Lemmy!)

“Airplane Mode” not for being on the Airplane but just to not being annoyed by it. You of course still have data when you are on WiFi and can still enable it on the go if you have to check where to go or something. But this extra hurdle is enough to give you peace of mind :) It really is a game changer.

I was commuting back to home from the city where I was doing apprenticeship.

I sat next to an elderly lady who initiated a talk with me and soon has asked what i believed her subjects were she used to teach at school. I believe i got it wrong the first time but right on my second try and explained why i thought so.

After we noticed that we both lived/exited in the same village she offered me a price money and asked for my address so she could send it to me.

I know this sounds super suspicious and writing it makes me wonder why i have given her my address, but i was young and there are probably a lot of details i’m missing which would make it totally reasonable. Some days later i got an letter with 5 € attached :)

What the fuck is this OS/Messenger combo. Its not iOS is it? It looks off like a custom android rom. Or where iOS line widths always that random?!

No, i have just build this https://github.com/Epicpkmn11/dsi-camera and changed the icon and text. So… maybe it is real just not that professional you would probably want it to be.

It really is. Love the overall aesthetics as well.

The other game featured is also a hidden gem. “Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective” has a big Ace Attorney vibe going on. (Think its from the same people, which is probably why.) Uses the DS not to the same degree TWEWY does, but its doesnt has to. I really like the story.
