i swear i left a comment about the smartphone thing but i must have hallucinated it. anyway, i recently got a google pixel and put grapheneOS on it, so far so good, would recommend. probably the least bloated least evil type of smartphone you can get nowadays

really delightful post about the snowplow, by the way

@projectc190 This was what I had on the just died phone ! I wish it had worked for me but we meshed so badly it became a "cursed object" 😿

@projectc190 and thank you !

oh my god lol my bad for assuming! my next recommendation would be a flip phone from sunbeam wireless, but i don't think it'd be viable if you need it for transit unfortunately :(

@projectc190 No I appreciate it. Plan is to just leave the new one turned off when I am not actively using it, like a computer

may ur smartphone Eternally Rest. and good luck with the inevitable traversals in acquiring another in its place... (im somehow annoyingly good at not having phones go full kaput on me. last i had a phone do that was when smartphones werent yet a Thing...)

@sneek Thank you. I wish that was the case for me !!!!!

flossie mentioned!! what kind of lamps would you be into? i see some pretty interesting ones at the thrift sometimes

@projectc190 I do like shapes and colors in general, so something shaped and colored. Less into patterns, less into "Ornateness".

"think with 26 it all becomes skewed, unbalanced," im ahead of the curve by getting thrown offbalance in mid-december.....hopefully the 2026 offbalance balances it out...

also 'to everyone' would be "kõigile" :-] "kõigele" would be 'to every*thing*'. head vana aasta lõpukest

@sneek Exactly !! I got sooo unbalanced in 25 as well ! But now that the floor is moving, too, I hope our movements will sync up !

@sneek ja aitäh.. Ma olen "segaminimaxxing" kui ma räägin eesti keelt ha ha ha

segaminimaxxing lmaooooooooooo

visited a friend while in helsinki once, pulled up my site on his comp, and my site and guestbook too were hilariously narrow on his monitor.......

@sneek It is their own fault for owning these giant machines imo!
