I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • In the past, I would have said “One device to rule them all” but then we got the modern smartphone which does all the things, but none of them exceptionally well (and definitely not ergonomically or frustration-free).

    I’ve upgraded to a dumb-ish flip phone which is good for phone, texts, and music (has enough buttons i can key-map to have physical controls when it’s closed). Everything else, I’ve started preferring dedicated devices (e-reader, camera, my actual wallet/cards, etc). In a box somewhere, I think I still have my 1 GB MP3 player that will run for like 2 weeks from a single AAA battery. Would love to find that.

    My old smartphones are also single-purpose devices, repurposed into HomeAssistant remotes, Emby controllers, VoIP handsets, etc).
