have you tried additional entries that are the same thumb?

can’t both be true though?

If I see you standing around taking pictures and videos with your phone I’m going to assume you’re just in it for your Instagram posts.

This is good advice, but seeing historical footage of protests is kinda cool though, tbh

From someone who tried making an app that uses NFC, it’s all over the place and inconsistent; might be good to have a bit of a reset.

I’ve used Zulip a couple times and thought it had some neat features and worked well enough. What’s so bad about it that justifies a reaction like that?

it’s a beautiful city, but those crosswalks are so annoying

Carry a bottle of water. You can’t just get water whenever you need it.

yeah, I usually travel with a collapsible water bottle like these vapur ones

1. do not check anything
2. do not put anything in the overhead storage unless it’s a suitcase
3. if you’re bringing a backpack, put it “upside down” under the seat in front of you. the floor is gross, don’t put your backpack down and then put that grossness against your back when you get off the plane
4. if you’re in the back half of the plane, be ready to volunteer to move to an exit row just in case the opportunity presents itself before the plane takes off
5. if you’re scared of flying, know that the plane is shaped physically to stay in the air. Why do paper planes fly? because of their shape. Real planes are shaped waaay better.
6. only get water, no ice
7. write down where you parked or take a picture and know how you’ll get back
8. have your first meal planned when you arrive at your destination

this kinda contradicts your original point. Regardless, phones are a weird exception because many plans subsidize new phones; those getting new phones every year may be doing so because that’s part of how they can afford it

Additionally, even having a 2 year old phone can start limiting you. that’s around the point in time where you’ll start seeing apps no longer supporting some. functionalities on your phone. Phones also are one of the few luxuries many even have access to and they serve a practical purpose.

I’m really lazy and use regolith, is that bad?

that reminds me of a meeting I was in with the CEO of the company I worked for and we went around the room sharing our hobbies. Everyone said things like reading books or baking or playing video games or whatever.

The CEO said collecting vintage cars.
