Unusual advice:

I use Jina app drawer

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobeedom.android.jinaFS&hl=en_US&gl=US

It allows you to swipe up from the home button and access a selected grid of apps, and quickly search for any installed apps.

Lets me keep my homescreen pristine, and only display art/widgets.

So it really doesn’t matter what my launcher is.

they’ve been posting their dumb political takes for years now.

nice job quitting bro 😎

A good tip about 401k is to increase it by 1% every year, you’ll never notice the change and continue saving more and more.

If you look at the S or iPhone series you’ll see that the larger versions sell far far more.

many dumphones have these functions.

calculator and GPS is not what most people think of from the phrase “a bunch of apps”

just to give an argument for the option most folks are not choosing.

I work for a huge old company and here are some of the benefits:

• Good pay
• Great work/life balance. putting in over 40hrs/week is unheard of, no crunch time
• Size of the company allows for movement to different tech areas
• Very stable, great job security

Now granted, we are totally WFH, don’t think I would be willing to do an in-person job with a suit every day, but there is an argument to make for making more money when you’re younger that you can start investing early.

The lack of bleeding edge tech could also be used to your advantage if you could spearhead leading a more modern initiative.

I’m not sure how large the pay difference is, but it sounds like your heart is leaning towards the start up.

In the end, you’ll just have to weigh the positives and negatives and figure out what you truly want.

it’s not that you want to, but rather that the companies want to charge you $100 more for $5 of ROM.

the sad reality is many people will say they want a small phone like this, but then not buy it for some reason or another, then they sell less, and so companies abandon making them.

I am a very happy owner of a ZF10 too, lovely device.

but you can’t add a bunch off apps.

kind of like telling a heroin addict to just stop doing heroin.

ha, well i have also been working on this for probably 10 hours in total.

it definitely takes effort.

you can get an Ender 3 on sale for $100.

probably cheaper to invest in one rather than continuously pay for a service to print them off.

some libraries will 3D print stuff for very cheap though.

very fascinating thank you, may have to try this out.

looks nice 😎

thank you!

one thing I did not expect was how much more difficult it is than “regular art.”

and I still suck at it lmao

hey, fair enough.

tell me a bit about drying meat and making sausage.

i really want to get into airsoft, but there are hardly and fields or people nearby me.

latest one is making pixel art.

wanted to get into the hobby, so for Christmas I am making my wife a picture of each of the vacations we’ve been on.

this is a work in progress of a church on a hill we saw in Iceland:

Also, smoking meat.

Has been so much fun to learn and has resulted in some of the best food we have ever had.

Also, setting up a retro emulator with an old phone.

Currently procuring ROMs, organizing them, and getting a good front end and emu cores configured.

Playing through pokemon ROM hacks has been fun.
