I setup a liberapay at the end of last year for a small recurring donation every 3 months ( since it was a smaller amount they had me do it quarterly instead ). If you contimue to use it regularly and can afford to throw them a cup of coffee's donation monthly, think about signing up.

    I bought a Kindle last year. Hated the experience. Returned it and bought a Kobo instead. Love it and I've been reading a ton. I've also been sleeping better by reading on it at night until I get sleepy instead of looking at a traditional screen.

    I've had one of the smaller Samsung foldables for almost 2 years now. I hate Samsung's software experience, but the hardware is actually pretty great due to the half size in the pocket. Im having issues with my screen protector now right at the hinge now and need to see about getting it replaced and I used the phone on a river in a dry bag once and ended up getting a piece of sand in it early on so there is an annoying little spot on the screen protector from that too so I avoid putting the phone in more rugged environments now.

    TLDR: So yeah, best thing is a smaller device to carry around but other issues with them.

    I was excited about AI until American billionaires forcefully shoved it down our throats and every company started drooling and putting AI "features" (bugs) everywhere.

    I recommend investing in a nicer rice cooker. The cheaper ones always burn the bottom. Them use some boxed broth or stock instead of water. You can throw in a can of chicken and add cheese at the end and you have easy chicken and rice.

    Shit like this sucks because it's the taxpayers that get stuck with the bill. I'm so sick of these huge companies using taxpayers to pay for everything because they dont want to spend their vast fortunes. We see the same thing with huge tax write offs for building things with the promise of more trickle down benefits.

    This has been annoying behavior for a while. When I click any post from the widget it brings up my previously viewed post. I then have to click back and go back to my home screen and click the article a 2nd time to get to the post.

    Note: Clicking the home button doesn't help. The important piece is that I have to click back. It seems like the widget click on an article only works if the app state isn't in a specific article already.

    Support the Fediverse! (en.liberapay.com)
     

    I just threw in my support with a small recurring donation. I've been here for 2 years and realized I should support the alternate future I want to see grow. I've been slowly working on taking ownership of my data back from the behemoth corporations one service at a time. Supporting Lemmy and the Fediverse is in alignment with those values.

    If you are like me and usually here just lurking then consider making a post, a donation, or both!

    Oh, and Happy New FediYear!!
