Profiles will help. In any event, glad you got it up and running.

I haven't had any issues yet but I've also never pushed my phones to any limit.

I mentioned this in another comment, the next challenge is to fully separate for the big tech socials, which is still hard to do completely.

Its not that hard to install. Intimidating, yes, but its a pretty straightforward process. Take a little while though

And take advantage of the multiple profiles. Segregate all Google products to one profile if you use any.

I get that with the aurora store. Like it'll tell me points of concern, but in the end, it's a digital habit that's the most important, and there are just some apps I have to have, unfortunately

I dont mind it right now, I think the main thing im realizing is finding competent apps that aren't under the umbrella of the big tech companies... potential there may be but audiencewise, not as much

Yep, Pixel. There's questions about what the next step is since Google is trying to put to rest it's open source development, but for now it's being supported and is totally smooth from my experience. I paid like 300-something for my 7a so I consider that progress over my current midtier android

So I took the plunge and decides to degoogle myself, or try to at least. Switched to a Graphene phone, after having already switched fully to Linux on my comps. Plenty if other challenges but I value my privacy

Not sure how I really feel about AI, especially as an artist, but it's hard to deny its usefulness. Been messing with Midjourney this week. Great tool for conceptualizing.

Well, I WAS having a good night learning how to make video games... Thinking maybe we should just move America to the Middle East since we seem to spend so much time over there.

Good thing I'm on Fedora :)

I demand a recipe... and for you to make me some

I consider this a modest, yet pricey, collection. Still want more though...

Easily one of my personal favourite songs rn

Welp, five years is a nice streak... covid finally got its greedy little hands on me :(

Very Dune-esque

Andor is phenomenal! It's not just good Star Wars, it's good television in general. So glad they get to revisit it :)

Gimme gimme

I think I need this.

That's right, I forgot about those. That'll be a good compliment to my others. Yeah I tend to do detailed elaborate work so I'd definitely find a use for it. Thank you!

Tbh, I kinda wish there was an even finer one lol

I've had a decent response with it so far. This is my second needlepoint (the other a FC Nagahara) and they just work wonders for detailed artwork

Thanks! Love it!

I've finally made it! My first gold-nib fountain pen! Might change the ink but otherwise a solid fineliner.

Space-jousting!

In the same vein as fountain pens (and IEMS), this safety razor I LOVE. Vintage Gilette (New?) Open-comb. Don't use it as often as I should but I'm so glad I have it.

Added bonus - once you have a safety razor, buying blades is stupid cheap.

Here's another piece I made ages ago. Underdeveloped but this is still another piece I'd like to revisit. I feel like the angle is essential to it for some reason...
