just posting.. 

im just posting im just posting im just posting i swear..

@joepie91 i already have a lot of what I want UX wise to be comfortable, but an underlying philosophy I don't like is The Application: it is It's Own Thing though maybe it has some Apis, File Formats or Addons for you to hook into.

The Application cannot be scripted in a language I already enjoy, I cannot write a macro for it that does the weird thing I want (unless it's a text editor, then *maybe*)

i wish for an OS, a bit like TempleOS, where i can pop a terminal and do some esoteric thing. an OS where I can hook into my Element install easily and make it copy my stickers or whatnot from some other program's API with a bit of work.

i dont want to be a known usecase, i want to craft my own experience that suits me, but currently that takes hours or days of work and very specialized expertise. i've patched or configured just about every piece of software i regularly use where it was possible in a reasonable amount of effort, but we have no system-wide *Inspect Element* and it's a real shame for quite a few reasons.

nixos/nixpkgs dev, slight frustration but its funny 

Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
Oh no! 💥:trans:​👩‍💻🎆LGTM✅

i think it'd be neat if i had an IME that autocompleted my (english) words and reshuffled the words in sentences
i often type "maybe at joes better" (fake shop name) since the additional qualifiers feel obvious and i'm only going to be adding them to Important Things where there isn't enough context already visible to me.

so i end up with "maybe at joes better^W←←better←it'd be" (i.e. having edited it to "maybe it'd be better at joes") and those ctrl-←'s are a lot of wasted effort imo

does anyone onhere have phone recommendations?
I'm looking for something that

runs android 12 or newer
has a reasonably good camera
has a 3.5mm jack
is not horrible to root
has fingerprint unlock and nfc
has a usable default rom (so something close-ish to stock android, no adware and not horribly laggy)
has 64gb or more storage
supports dual physical sim
has decent battery

I don't play games or do anything resource-heavy, mostly just take photos, talk with people and look at fedi, so it doesn't need to be incredibly high end. The one I found so far that fits the requirement is Asus Zenfone 9 but I would rather not pay /that/ much for A Phone

notes:

dual sim is a hard requirement, both also must be physical. I have an old ukrainian sim and a german one and I need both at the same time
please don't suggest phones that have bad stock roms but can be made better with custom roms. that's exactly what I've been using for the last 3 years and I no longer feel like the cost of "taking photos is a pain + notifications randomly break all the time + random crashes" is worth it for me

notes 2:

please do not suggest phones without dual physical sim support. by "hard requirement" I mean "if this phone does not have it, I cannot buy it"
actually just, no pixel phones please. every single person recommends them and they're always missing things from the requirements list

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen see: no spoons for that. if you dont wanna relate to my suffering with the status quo then ignore the post or go fix it yourself

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen also on glitch there's preferences, app settings, the menu button in your profile and they're all different and its overwhelming and unsearchable
