  • I have a flip phone for a while now. A black line did form on the crease after ~6 months, but was replaced under warranty. No further problems since. I don’t use a case either and am rather clumsy.

    The biggest upside to the design is reclaimed pocket space.

    Everyone has accepted carrying a giant slab that takes up one pocket at all times. Manufacturers that attempt to make reasonable sized phones quickly abandon the idea because people don’t purchase them. Everyone says they’d love having a small phone, then buy something else when it’s time to spend money. Flip phones are the closest thing to a compromise we’ll get anymore.

    Given that phones are cameras that just so happen to make phone calls and the industry continuously innovate backwards (headphone jack, micro sd expandable storage, removable batteries, physical sim trays, and potentially USB-C if Apple has their way), foldable screens are the first genuine innovation/progression.








  • Glad I found this community just scrolling through all!

    I played Fields of Mistria late last year and I thoroughly enjoyed my time. For being in early access, I only found one bug: the game played at a slower speed after a few minutes until I paused and unpaused it.

    Worked flawlessly on the steam deck though. Really excited to see the next update and the finished product someday.







  • This is disappointing to see - especially since I like a few of their products.

    I’m not sure how it is in London, but there’s a strong government push to get people to go back to office (the city). Since politics is every politicians side hustle, and a lot of them own commercial real estate that’s been tanking post pandemic, I feel like they are forcing companies to bring people back to re-inflate the real estate value.

    Since companies can’t outright say it’s the government, they have to come up with excuses.

    The worst part is I don’t know what’s worse: if I’m wrong or if I’m right :(



  • I’ve seen a lot of people move to Mint or Pop_OS or Kubuntu. They’re Debian based so updates are pretty stable.

    I personally ended up with EndeavourOS using the KDE desktop environment. I have a steam deck, so this felt very similar to me. This is Arch based so sometimes updates break things, but I’ve had more success here.

    Also remember that no distro is problem-free, but neither was Windows. The longer you commit, the easier it gets.

    EDIT: If you’re hesitant to fully commit at first, I also recommend dual booting with Windows. Over time you’ll use it less and less until one day you feel like reclaiming the disk space.

    I’m not sure if the application is safe. It may be malicious. Proceed at your own risk.

    I saw a GitHub project called 163MusicLyrics that’s sources the information from Chinese sources (NetEase and QQ).

    The entire software is in Chinese, but the results looked really accurate from the sandbox I ran. It’s even actively developed with v6.2 releasing least week. But again, I don’t know if it’s safe.

    I’m not good at code but it looks like it’s OSS, so you could verify the code yourself or reverse engineer something with the API calls they use?

    Let me know if you come across something though. I’m also looking for a way to get LRC files easily.

    EDIT: Also for self hosting, I use Jellyfin with Symfonium, and Tailscale. It works great for me and has been relatively low maintenance.
