Coming soon: reddit changes its name to 𝕐, because 𝕐 not?

In some ways yes, but I think a smart watch is optimal for performing tasks quickly and and giving me information at a glance. A smart watch should feel like a dashboard on my wrist that stops me from using my phone unnecessarily. Most smart watches feel like a small second display for my phone with a worse user experience that make me want to always perform those tasks on my phone.

The Pebble watches. They may not be made anymore, but they are the only smart watches I have used that felt like an actual smart watch instead of a phone for your wrist. Once mine dies, I may switch to a BangleJS.

Navidrome is also a nice self-hosted option for music streaming. I recently cancelled my Spotify subscription in favor of hosting my own music library on it.

I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.

I think it still worked out well in the end! They have a nice brown color have a crumbling flakiness. Each time I followed the recipe, my buns turned out paler than I wanted. Then again, I also had to substitute the different flour types with only all-purpose flour since I didn't want to buy different flour types.

Every dim sum restaurant I have been to also serves baked items. The ones that do cart service have a dedicated baked goods cart with other items like egg custard tarts and sesame balls.

Not OP, but here's a recipe that I follow whenever I wanted to make these at home: https://thewoksoflife.com/chinese-bbq-pork-buns-cha-siu-bao/

These a must-order item when I go to a dim sum restaurant! They're an excellent balance of sweet and savory.

I started off using Obsidian and really enjoyed it for a long time, but I eventually realized that I disliked needing to constantly move my hand between my mouse and keyboard to interact with the application. I still think it's a strong application that I would recommend for others with the patience to create their own workspace. Currently, I use Emacs Org Mode and Org Roam as my personal knowledge and task management software at home (I use Logseq at work because Emacs runs horribly on Windows). It doesn't have as much visual customization options as Logseq or Obsidian, but I see that as a positive since that forces any customization I want to make to be more focused on improving my productivity rather than making the interface look nicer. It also doesn't have many good mobile options, so I've been thinking about learning mobile development to try and give a crack at changing that.

 

Ever since I started using smart phones, I have been jumping between different weather apps and have not been very satisfied with most of them. I found the apps from the big weather providers like Accuweather and Weather Channel to be bloated and distracting with advertisements and irrelevant news. The app I was closest to being satisfied with was the free version of Dark Sky, but I didn't get to enjoy it for very long since I discovered it not long before Apple acquired it. What are some of the best weather apps on Android right now?

That man looks like he is about to set the foundations for modern psychology in order to "scientifically" explain why he wants a mommy gf.

I agree, and that is part of the cognitive dissonance between enjoying reddit for what it provided and wanting to switch to an alternative. However, if one is searching for a reddit alternative and will not switch to anything exactly like it, why should one even be looking for an alternative?
