Not really a weird dream other than the fact that it happened at all, considering I’ve rarely been getting any dreams recently.

Dreamt about waking up to see the new university timetable be only days starting from 6 AM, except for Monday which started at 4 AM.

I was honestly so used to bullshit like this I didn’t even realise I was dreaming and had a panic attack inside of the dream.

From my past dreams, however, I remember having a machete duel to the death with Thanos. I don’t remember who won.

No to both.

No to smoking because it stinks, it’s expensive, and it deteriorates everything around you and inside you.

And no to drinking because it has ruined the lives of everyone around me, which in turn partially ruined mine as well.

Polish drinking culture is devastating, even among Gen Z. Lost too many of my friends to alcohol - somehow each and every one of them who started went into a downwards spiral and became a shell of their former self.

My home stopped giving me the feeling of safety as my parents’ alcohol-induced fights stripped it away. Same thing happened to my university dorm, as 9 times out of 10 I’d come back to a room that had vomit everywhere and my drunk roommate laying unconscious on the floor.

I don’t know if I’m a magnet for these kinds of people or what, but because of that I’ve been against alcohol ever since I first learned what the word meant.

gotta bring this up every time i see these

“bitches” based on the bits that stand out

Searching through XDA gave me nothing - it seems the Redmi A3 is a pretty obscure phone in the Redmi line, which was honestly quite surprising. The Mi A3 overtaking it in the results wasn’t helping either.

In any case I couldn’t find any ROMs. mvikrant97 says in this post that you can’t even really unlock the A3 to begin with (at least as of July 2024 but I doubt anything as changed).

You could try using UAD to debloat a little bit, but I haven’t used it personally, so I’ll have to leave the research to you.

Nice to see another greybeard! ROCK AND STONE!

My ideal one is either 14C sunny or 16C overcast. Anything below kinda sucks and everything above is hell incarnate.

I second that.

Back in May I had a stress overload and for a solid month or so I was CONSTANTLY nauseous (among other things). And it was that type of nausea that didn’t make you vomit, it just made you feel that you were about to. Absolutely horrid times.

edit: oops someone already posted this welp

You can go a step further and use breezewiki, which is basically a wrapper for Fandom that disables all the annoying crap.

On any fandom wiki you should be able to just change the url from (…)fandom.com/(…) to (…)antifandom.com/(…) and load that page through breezewiki.

I’ve been using both Open Camera and PhotonCamera for a while now, and these two are probably the best options. You can get them both on F-Droid.

Do be careful with Photon, though, as its still early in development and is very crash happy (not to mention its development is extremely slow, maybe even dead at this point?). It also has network permissions for… some reason, so make sure to disable those if possible.

Photon’s image processing also sucks up your battery power quite a lot - one time I’ve seen my battery drop 2% just from taking a single image (I run a Xiaomi Mi 10T Pro with LineageOS)

Photon also lacks A LOT in terms of customization. It’s also locked to taking pictures in HDR, unless you set the frame count to 1, in which case it will start taking pictures in RAW, which is even worse. It’s also impossible to switch the directory where the pictures are saved, and HDR pictures and RAW pictures are stored in entirely separate folders.

Despite all that, the pictures that come out of Photon are definitely a grade above those I take with Open Camera, though I still use OC when I get fed up with Photon every now and then. And when set up right, the pictures taken with OC can be just as good.

Didn’t see Receiver 2 mentioned, so I’ll give it a shoutout! Really interesting game, and as far as I know the only one with such deep shooting mechanics. Unfortunately the sale had ended a couple days ago, so it’s back to its normal price, but even then I’d heavily recommend it!
