A friend of mine said "Why don't you get a tattoo? Live a little!"

Everybody and his uncle is getting those. It's almost peer pressure at this point.

I don't need artificial scars.

I could make a lot of money with my skills if only I was an asshole.

As a tech guy, you kind of have two options. Sell your soul as a developer, working on some incredibly dull project, or become a manipulator of people. Neither option is very appealing. There is a third option, which is where I am now, where you're basically not making any money. The one where you do stuff you like, in a way that agrees with your ethics. This SHOULD be the thing that is profitable, but the world sucks.

Moisturizer is just a heroin addiction for your skin. Do people even realize that if you use it more than a few times it causes your skin to need it to even function and like cigarettes you need to use it just to get your skin like it used to be.

People who use it for years and then stop will literally have their skin peeling off and cracking.

@AmpBenzScientist I think samsung's expert raw app did a fairly decent job to capture raw. But the real cameras are still worth its price, in terms of pixel counts and the size of cmos, compare to a smart phone

The synthesiser keyboard we're building will sound like this, among other things. Yes, this will be in the production model.

Im a little crazy about shaving. Though i dont always shave or shave often but when i do im a bit anal about it. First off i use an old school safety razor, but the three half blade kind rather than a single double blade. I also only use the razor for about 3 shaves then replace it. I also remove clean and dru the individual blades between shaves, oil them and store them outside of thr bathroom to avoid humidity. I even rotate the blades between shaves.

In case you arent familiar with half blade safety razors i attached a picture.

Today I took a lot of photos (more than a hundred), but in the end, I only selected 14 that were usable. I used Affinity Photo 2 to process these RAW files. Although I have Lightroom Classic, I wanted to try Affinity's software as an action to resist and break free from Adobe's subscription model.

The 50MP RAW from the main camera of the Samsung did surprise me a bit. There is more flexibility in post-adjustments compared to JPG, but it still doesn't compare to a real camera. However, considering the cost-performance ratio, I am satisfied. So far, including the phone, the equipment I use for photography doesn't exceed 13,000 RMB, which is roughly the price of an entry-level camera and lens.

Unfortunately, these photos are too large, averaging around 15 to 20MB each, so I can't upload them to Mastodon. I will try other platforms instead.
