I use Mint and I remember almost having a crashout over not being able to install a certain app so… being technologically illiterate I think I'm staying on the second stage xd

p.s.: i still haven't found a way to install that specific app but i'm anyhow more used to Mint now since the time I switched

    Thanks! and sorry for late reply; I don't own a 3d printer so I just draw the designs on the piece of paper (better the thicker one, almost like cardboard), and glue them on a base made of plastic bottle caps. Basically I just take the bottle caps and cut them with the hot knife (i believe using something like paper knife would be easier). I cover it with nail polish after i glued the designed i've drawn on the cap, and of course I put a safety pin on it with hot glue on the other side. They don't always look elegant, but I'm mostly happy from just the fact that I actually finished the project for once.

    Another way I make the pins is by cutting off the bottom of a metal can (like the soda/energy drink one) and draw on it with acrylic markers (i recommend Posca markers although they're not very cheap) and cover it with nail polish/acrylic varnish/gloss. These also turn out well and they're larger than the bottle cap ones. So far I have one with the pride flag made from the can of dr. Pepper :3

    [image of a svobenian google search result saying earth's age is 4.543 billion years] A: how is it A: (that) the earth is 4543 [sic] billion years old but the year is (only) 2025 B: idiot 🀦

    Also a bit of a context, Svobenian is my Germanic conlang with strong Slavic influence (basically a descendant of Proto-Germanic with Slavic sound changes and many proto-slavic borrowings). I made this joke to demonstrate the difference between β€œvΔ—tar” (year, cognate to English winter, used only as a time unit, e.g. 4.543 mlrd vΔ—tΕ™, meaning 4.543 billion years) and β€œjero” (cognate to English year, used in other contexts, e.g. jero 2025 β€œyear 2025”)
