That’s about it. I don’t use ChatGPT often enough to sub. I sometimes subscribe to Canva Pro if I have a project ongoing.

I will be the devil’s advocate here and say that having the 8 Gb ram config on their cheapest machines (MBA, Mac Mini) is perfectly fine, but having it as the base config on the MBP is borderline false advertising.

I have a Poco X5 5G which was the cheapest phone they had with a headphone jack and 5G support. I use it daily with my wired IEMs. The sound quality is better and I don’t have to worry about battery for long listening sessions. I do have a Soundcore Liberty 4NC for calls though. It gets pretty awkward using wired IEMs for calls nowadays.

Just finished the second to last dungeon and fusing my Personas for endgame (Yoshitsune and Trumpeter). Combat is a lot less involved than SMT V which I played before this, however the story has been more engaging so far.

Pro tip for Darktide is the first few missions can be a slog because you have no good abilities and are still trying to figure out which weapon combos work. It gets much better once you have a party going and the challenge intensifies.

I’ll be moving on to Baldurs Gate 3 on my Xbox Series S once I’m done with P4G. Also playing Remnant 2 and Warhammer 40k Darktide Co-op with friends.

I use Firefox exclusively on Desktop and Brave exclusively on mobile. Firefox on Mobile still has performance issues for me.

I got an iPhone 11 last year as my work phone. I prefer the larger screen over the iPhone 12 mini while still being compact.

I would be excited except it’s 2023 and Google has not made it available in my country (Indonesia), with the 4th biggest population in the world. This is a country where over 80 percent of the population uses Android phones. It seems Google is just not that serious in trying to sell us phones.

As I said in an earlier post, better get out now and migrate while the communities are still intact rather than slowly bleeding out due to these policies. There is going to be one kind of content on Reddit and that’s the ad-friendly, corporate supported kind.

I basically quit Reddit cold turkey. Rather than watch the slow, sad decline of its communities by going along with Reddit management, I’d advocate them to make the transition to the Fediverse now rather than later. The /retrogaming/ community (I need to drop the /r/ for obvious reasons) did this and is doing quite well for itself on Lemmy and Mastodon.
