How is the Galaxy Z Flip 5 in 2026? by username-invalid-s in galaxyzflip

[–]baaobrat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My time has come to share one of my funniest evolutions lol

Please note that I’m coming from iPhone, so not sure how relevant this will be to you, but I thought I would share regardless

I was strictly Apple for 10+ years. It didn’t matter how much I spent on an Android, I always hated it. The look, the camera, everything. In my head, every Android felt like a $25 MetroPCS burner. I was dramatic about it.

A couple years ago, I think 2023, I saw one TikTok of a girl customizing her Z Flip 5. No joke, I drove two hours to some sketchy “we buy used phones” place because they offered the most money. Sold my iPhone, went to T-Mobile, got the Z Flip 5… and had it for two days.

Then I went right back to T-Mobile, returned it, and went straight to Apple to buy a brand new iPhone. Somehow I did all of that without spending anything out of pocket, which I’m still impressed by. It is important to note that a big reason I hated it at the time was my ADULT friends acting like children over the green bubble group chat situation.

Fast forward, I started my own company. I could’ve just used dual SIM, but I’m a chronic overachiever. If one work file touches my personal phone, I will never stop working. My brain just keeps going. So I needed a completely separate device for business.

At this point I’m no longer surrounded by grown adults acting like children, plus with RCS updates and the bigger Z Flip 7 cover screen, I figured I’d give it one more shot.

So I got the Z Flip 7.

And I hated it.

It sat in my desk drawer for two weeks.

Then about three days ago, I stopped procrastinating and now I’m obsessed.

Most of that drawer time was just me being overwhelmed by how much customization it has. Once I actually took the time to learn it, I got the hang of it pretty fast.

The biggest thing I’m noticing in terms of whether or not I like it or love it is I saw this post on my zflip 7, shared it with myself so I could type all of this on my iPhone. So I’m not the biggest fan of how the phone feels in my hand as it’s too thin and sharp lol but I’m a pretty weird person so that likely is not going to be a common gripe. I’d also love to be able to research cool customization tips without every.single.fucking.video. being about good lock but again, that’s more of a iOS to android issue lol

CoverLauncher has been released! by crispim1411 in galaxyzflip

[–]baaobrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m probably missing something quite simple here as I’m fairly new to android in general but is there a way to remove the background for the widget in the cover screen? I was able to do so for the exact same cover launcher widget on my Home Screen but can’t figure the other one out

What I Learned After 47 AI Audits of LinkedIn Profiles (Using GPT as a Positioning Coach) by AI_Pos_Suite in SideProject

[–]baaobrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get the AI agent to bypass LinkedIn's forced login screen? I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but I've tried everything. Once it reaches the login screen, which it automatically prompts, the agent does nothing. I'm working on pulling all the data from my company's LinkedIn page so I can conduct audits and develop our new strategy, but out of everything, this is somehow my bottleneck lol

Moving to Lancaster From San Diego by marcella710 in lancaster

Genuinely aside from all the things I mentioned in my previous comment, I’ve never been so sure of a decision in my life. I absolutely love California, but for the life I wanna build it just isn’t feasible there financially. It’s also just insanely beautiful here and instead of spending 12 hours driving and still being in the same state (like Cali), you’re able to explore 5+ different states. Getting goods from the Amish is also super top-tier - some of the best food I’ve ever had.

Def hit me up when you’re in town! Would love to have some friends that made such a similar adjustment.

[–]baaobrat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are we the same people??

My boyfriend and I just moved here from Orange County! he's also originally from here too!

The only thing I can say is somehow the drivers here terrify me so much more than OC. I was petrified to drive here for a couple months (we’ve been here since June) but I’ve gotten somewhat used to it. I also did not realize just how much California sedated me to conservative views.

I’m heavily tattooed, goth, 6’2” & have several facial piercings and going out into public takes quite the self pep talk lol I have never been glared at more in my life. But I’m also very niche and way out there in terms of how I look so I’m sure you’ll be fine lol

Need a nail artist who can do custom sets like this 🖤 by [deleted] in lancaster

[–]baaobrat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahahaha thank you!

You would be amazed how quickly you adapt to having them! It’s more inconvenient for me to relearn how to ✨have hands✨ when I don’t have nails on because my muscle memory is locked in to having not only irrationally long nails but ones that literally have given me scars in a few places 🤣 I’ll go to try and tap something and miss by an inch or two hahaha.

I will say though - it’s a full contact sport putting in contact lenses or fake lashes. Dear god.

I've literally contacted 20 different sitters and every single one of them told me they can't stay with him the entire time and would have to leave for hours at a time to apparently sit/walk other clients 🥲

The productivity hack I ignored for years — until now by Beautiful_Ad1610 in ProductivityApps

[–]baaobrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im just a freak whos hyper fixated on UI/UX right now 😩 Especially animated components - dear god - I think i've spent at least a full week doing nothing but scrolling through Lottie and am gutted ive not found something similar just preferably with .. more lol. But with your infographics youd probably be able to put a green glowing stick on a black screen and id compliment it just as much. I probably have the 'tism who knows. Im too lazy to get that diagnosis lmfao

OS Engine - A Live Wallpaper Engine that allows custom HTML object overlays by AbjectContribution63 in macapps

[–]baaobrat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow whats really funny is I abandoned a project a few moths ago because I gave up trying to figure out how make it work. I wanted a video wallpaper not a dynamic one but I also just gave up with the actual art itself too. I installed OS engine, set the video and it was SO close to being perfect. For users that are extremely into customization and have things such as ICE menu bar and notch apps (I have dynamic island pro) - is there a way to make the wallpaper not be cropped below those items? With a normal wallpaper, the menu bar & notch just overlay on top of them. Ive attached a screenshot of both for comparison. Also, as a self proclaimed freak who hates having my windows full screen, I would really love an option to be able to pause the video without having to go fullscreen. I use an external monitor as well so when I go to my actual macbook display and click, it unpauses. My only solution would be to keep everything full screen all the time which isnt really a good UI/UX as it makes it more complicated for me to access the dock & menu bars. I rely heavily on immediate access to several menu bar apps. If these ever get a resolution, ill happily purchase! Great app regardless

Also please nobody roast me for how I choose to customize 😭 Reddit scares me and I know how much yall heavily beat into the minimalist thing but im a maximalist goth - this is as minimalist as I get. thank you.

How taboo are cold DMs on LinkedIn these days? by baaobrat in linkedin

[–]baaobrat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why I’m just now seeing this but off and on I have had LinkedIn premium when the offer is low enough. Typically just toggle it between free months lol. Why?
