KDE Connect is one of the most useful app on my phone, and I can’t believe I went as long as I did without knowing about it

thanks for this! I’ve always wanted to get started on my own self hosting solution

i would say no, as there can be programming you can begin that doesn’t involve math. what I would recommend is to begin your own project by looking to see what you can automate in your life.

when I was in middle school, I told a teacher I wanted to program when I got older, and she scared me because she said that involves a lot of math. at the time, I hated math, so I avoided programming completely. it wasn’t until I was 24 that I gave it a shot and was so upset at how misinformed I was. I wish I could turn back time, but oh well.

is there something you do at your current job that you think can be automated?

is this what getting old feels like? over complicating something so they can charge for it? 🥲

oh so like mozilla firefox. thanks

I think this is something you’re gonna have to just jump into and start since you don’t have anything to work off of. it’s going to take a lot of work, but at least you’ll be able to work off your own ATFs once you finish. good luck…

if you’ve never had a fold device, i’d say the 5 is a great place to jump in. idk what i was expecting, but I wasnt completely blown away like when I got my fold 2.

everything about the 5 has been a ton of minor improvements over my fold 2 though, so I’ll be keeping it

just got the fold 5, upgrading from the fold 2. i’m not really impressed with it and wished i kept my fold 2 for another generation, but time will tell if the durability is better on this one (main reason I upgraded from my fold 2). the fold 2 was solid for me though, so I’m sure down the line I will be happy with improvements to the fold phones when its time to upgrade again.

I think next time, I’ll be seriously consider any of the flip phones. only thing holding me back would be a 120 hz cover screen for the flip, but im sure it will be around when it’s time for me to upgrade from the fold 5 in about 3-4 years.
