If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?
  • I'm just going to do what I've always done in all the other elections I've partaken in.

    I'm going to mark my choices, I'm gonna submit the ballot, I'm going to resume life as normal. Then when election day comes, I'm just going to go to sleep. I don't want to be up to see the polls.

    If Harris wins, then great, because that just means that we're not going to have another nightmare circus for 4 more years.

    If Trump somehow wins, then I will mute myself from the world almost like I did for the 4 years we had with him. It was just a blur.

    What smartphone do your use? What's the best phone you had owned?
  • I've owned a total of 3 smartphones in my life. The very first one I got was an Alcatel Evolve. I got that in 2017 I want to say. It was a budget phone, just enough to get the job done and had it for roughly 5 years. I ended up smashing it in 2021 because by that point, it's performance has slowed to a crawl and it's battery life was poor to the point where it could not be used anymore for daily use.

    To replace it I got a Samsung Galaxy A02s, another budget-line phone and it is still around me today. Not quite as good as it was the first year I had it for and it's only purpose is to give me entertainment during breaks and meal times at work.

    Alongside it, my current and best phone that's my primary is the Samsung Galaxy A32-5G. Because of how much I spent on it, I gave that phone an Otterbox protection and it has done wonders since there were times because of my stupid coat pockets, it'd fall about a couple feet from the pocket to the concrete flooring at work. It is used for everything, almost.

  • Did the recent Linux drama change your views on how you perceived Open Source projects?
  • And it's why people stress to death that documenting is important. Even if you may not have time to review every single code, it wouldn't hurt to leave footnotes as to where someone could take said code to pick up from where it left off.

    If you leave somebody with nothing then it's dead code.

  • Does anyone else hate winter time ?
  • I like the hours being dialed back. Whenever they're dialed forward, it feels like time moves even faster than when it did beforehand. I didn't like that feeling. Feels like everything is just being rushed and rushed.

  • What was something you learned too late in life?
  • Grace Periods.

    I'm glad I know them now, because for the longest time, I thought I was in a fucked situation whenever my finances were tight. Like if I was due a bill and my pay cannot cover it because of the dates being different. It used to make think that I had to take a hit and just roll with it. But no, some of my bills allow me a brief grace period where I can gather resources in time. Sometimes I'll even stretch my money beyond some grace periods if it means that I can upkeep some resources then just pay the difference later.
