O don’t use an e-reader, but I remember the stress their migration process gave me. That’s when I found omnivore. Unfortunately for me that was 3 months before they have to shut down lol. Now I’m back at Instapaper. Shouldn’t have left it for pocket way back then.

A lot of things in life are improved once you excise the FOMO mind cancer.

The inventor and original owner of the company didn’t get it either, AFAIK. He resisted a lot of things that makes aeropress more expensive just for the sake of it. Well he had to cash out sooner or later and this became of it.

Now I might be talking out of my ass, based on half unremembered internet tales.

But here’s my own opinion on this: premium aeropress is just for people to showboat they have money.

I would instead pay for big aeropress though. Makes it easier to share coffee.

That site is such an eye opener. I still haven’t managed to get to the end every time I visit the site

Such incomprehensible wealth

And for what? To fuck everyone

Good point. I’ll try invizible.

I chose NextDNS when Android supports custom DNS. And dont wamt to run a “VPN” all the time. It just works for my threat model.

Found out about it from Tech Lore. Customizing the filters just felt natural since that’s what I do with ublock anyways

PIA I use for torrenting as well so I don’t think I’ll ever stop that subscription

It definitely is still Winging. But I keep delaying to fix the the broken USB C and now I only charge using wireless. It also needs a battery replacement and each day I delay pretty sure it gets harder to get genuine parts.

It has fell a few tines with it open and I’m surprised that it’s still working.

Will miss the bad boy when the time comes. While unconventional, it convinces me that I want a dual screen / foldable phone / “small phone that can go big phone in one device”. Just that those are too expensive to justify.

From the description:

InviZible Pro is an all-in-one program. After installing it, you can easily delete all of your VPN applications and ad blockers. In most cases, InviZible Pro works better, is more stable, and faster than free VPNs.

Obviously it would be better than free VPN services. But I’m wondering how it would stack with my current set up. I already paid for NextDNS and PIA. Usually I don’t run PIA unless I want to access spicy stuff. And 99.999% my NextDNS stuff works fine.

I’d love to pay less but I also want to know what I’m trading for it

To LG’s credit, if you have the correct version of phones, they did support and update them as per their schedule. My Korean version LG Wing is now on the last version it’ll ever get, Android 13. That was I think 2023.

Now if anything happens to my Wing, I guess it’ll be a relic and e-waste.

Such a shame that LG decided to exit the smartphone market all those years ago.

VTuber shenanigans someday,

Me too, but I only thinking of starting with a rudimentary image as a pngtuber

But more than that I don’t think I have a streamer or video content aura lol

I should just try it though and see how it goes as a hobby first

Thank you for the tips. O did look for older posts here and elsewhere and try to emulate them, so I’m still figuring stuff out

I posted images before buy it looks so so as a post on feeds. But videos and gifs somehow tripped me

Certainly different and IMO more robust than what reddit does. Although tbf I reject modern reddit way so it’s probably quite multimedia supportive enough now

What I wish is more viable is the Huawei Pura SomeNumbers. It’s passport sized when closed, with a usable portrait-ish small outer screen to fit besides two cameras. Opens like a book into a landscape orientation, to a 16:10 ratio screen. A dream device.

Too bad it’s locked in China. Technically.

Xiaomi and Poco phones are champions of bang for buck most of the time. But always at the cost of whatever data collection and ads.

It’s made worse that Xiaomi have been clamping down on unlocking the bootloader with more and more hoops.
