Bollocks

I can’t stand it, honestly. I recently moved from a samsung phone after like a decade of using nothing but samsung to a pixel phone and I really dislike how fat random ui elements are. The volume control is confusing to look at because it’s gigantic, there’s less quick settings tiles because the ones you do get are giant, and I dont really like the colour tint across the entire OS. Just because my wallpaper has grass in it, my whole phone shouldn’t be baby shit green.

I don’t even want to wear clothes half the time never mind a giant computer that’s tracking my eyeballs.

A single MacBook Pro with a Core 2 Duo in, for now.

Did I Take My Meds? is crucial for me.

I’ve always had a good experience with Porkbun.

I’ve had two flip phones and I have loved them both, but both of them have had minor splintering appear on the screen at the hinge and it seems like once that starts your warranty is void because they refuse to cover their own manufacturing defect, and for that reason I wouldn’t buy another folding phone for a while, until the technology has matured. I do love my flip phone, it’s the most fun I’ve had with a smartphone and it’s a great conversation starter. Being able to take selfies with the outer camera and outer screen as a viewfinder is very nice too.

I recently switched from DDG to Ecosia. It gets results from the same dataset (Bing) and they plant trees when you search a certain number of times (the number fluctuates based on your frequency of searches I think). They’re also supposedly carbon negative and have a decent privacy policy from what I can tell.
