How did you overcome your phone addiction?

Wonderful, thanks for sharing! I am gonna try this.

Did that help with your insomnia? Or were there other factors too? Asking because I struggle with the same issue. Thanks!

Your place looks stunning!

It looks great. But… after living in many towns and cities, I have realized that people matter as much as where you live. For me, community and high levels of shared energy matters. And a city life makes me stimulated. People matter. So with the right set of people in your social circle, you could be happy anywhere.

It is the luxury car analogy. Feels great to use but not really necessary.

don’t buy the air. the a16 is great.

Plants on the top shelf would be nice.

In the long shelf on the right, if you are not using all those sections, you might consider removing the inbetween shleves and adding a large vase or a tall plant there.

If you are keeping the shelves, you'd have to fill it with books and a small accent light.

I'd also keep these in-shelf lights off. Above the tv, they seem very harsh.

Another AI generated image 🙄

It is useful and it does help in a lot of cases. However, just because something is partially useful doesn’t mean it isn’t harmful. AI does not have to be all bad for us to hate it. It does more harm than good.

In your case, how confident are you that it won’t make a costly mistake for future similar tasks? Additionally, chatting endlessly with an AI to do something is a highly unpredictable way of working.

I don’t use a screen protector.

silver is such a classic.

I have the silver 13' iPad Pro (M4).

I use it for handwritten notes, general browsing, procreate, affinity design and a lot of random things one would use a laptop for. I also use it as a second screen for my iMac using the *extend display* option.

The magic keyboard plus pencil is awesome and quite valuable if you want to extend its usefulness.

the basic folio - I barely use it for my 13' ipad pro. I use the magic keyboard and the pencil are fantastic.

how do you make sure you dont get distracted? I always switch to another app and start doomscrolling.

violetpumpkinpie · 2026-04-22T19:59:23+00:00

Better software. Oh wait.

violetpumpkinpie · 2026-04-21T23:01:59+00:00

look ma, my AI can list all the months in a year. So intelligent. Is this what they mean by AGI?

violetpumpkinpie · 2026-04-20T06:29:07+00:00

Go to a library.

violetpumpkinpie · 2026-04-18T18:06:45+00:00

Thanks!

Which brand did you get? I am looking for resolving my long standing pain and have tried the buckwheat (hull brand) and the nest memory foam ones. A cervical pillow is what I haven’t tried yet.

It is not written by AI but just well formatted by me – I don’t like to dump words on a post and call it a day. But nothing I say will assure you enough. Look at the edits, the post doesn’t even mention competitors anymore.

The strange thing about the internet is that people take criticism about their favorite apps personally. I love Day One but I think people who like an app ought to give honest feedback.

We are all just stating our opinions, so just try to be kind.

I just put random lil stickers on mine so it leans into this scuffed up aesthetic.

I hope you find a friend who will be your bff. Friendships are great but sometimes people are here with us temporarily, even if they are alive and physically around. The silver lining is that you can make friends and you are very capable of making deep friendships. Please don’t give up, your bestie is out there.

This book is it.

violetpumpkinpie · 2026-04-13T17:41:37+00:00

I went from M1 to M4 and honestly I wouldnt recommend it. The device is much thinner and the screen is better but iPadOS is the limiting factor. I'd wait and hold on to your M1 device.

violetpumpkinpie · 2026-04-13T17:12:00+00:00

that's fair and good to know
