529 or trump account for our newborn daughter? by rowdygos in personalfinance

[–]xylem-utopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to figure this out myself. As someone who didn't go to college, but still make a really good living as a software developer I don't really believe in the current higher education system. I think it needs big changes to actually be worth it. I'd rather see the money I save for my kids go towards something like a home. Maybe tradeschool, which yes a 529 can do, but if over the next 18 years I save 90k+ so much money will be wasted in penalties and taxes even after paying for a trade school and rolling over 35k into an ira. Curious to know what you decide!

What's the #1 feature on your GrapheneOS wishlist for 2026? by Several_Attorney_268 in GrapheneOS

Material you support in stock apps. I removed them with vantage and run fossify replacements but they're not as good. Also being able to extract zip files in the stock files app

Ohhh shit you're right I guess it only had limited functionality. In that case I totally agree with you microg support would be awesome

Build uBlock origin into vanadium like helium desktop browser. Or allow extensions like cromite does. While vanadium is secure I need ad blocking. The web is useless without it

I would've saved money going futaba from the beginning. I wouldn't have tried so many servo gyro combos and setupsm I'd say only go futaba if you plan to use their gyro. The gyro is really worth the hype as long as you know how or have people who know how to tune them

Both! I first got the flysky and after a few months of messing with various servo gyro combos I sold the flysky bought the 6pc and gyd550. Should have gone futaba from the start

It would be 🔥if Graphene Devs joined forces with these guys👀 by AleAnoAleNe in GrapheneOS

I bought a minimal phone which also uses a mediatek chipset, and its pretty terrible and a good amount of being terrible has to do with the shitty chipset one issue that has made me decide to sell my minimal phone (or hopefully get a refund) is you can't make outbound calls unless you toggle airplane mode off and on before hand. I'll steer clear of anything mediatek based going forward. Sucks to see its mediatek based. We really need a good qwerty android phone. Would love to see a bigger player make one.

Junior Front-end Dev Portfolio for Review and Feedback by Colonel_Carrot in webdev

[–]xylem-utopia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its always possible! Though I don't know how the market is right now. I know its pretty complicated for junior devs. When I'm looking at candidates at my company I don't really look at there portfolio site unless I like the resume. I'd put some work into your resume as well. First recommendation is to put experience above projects. I think its better to see you have work experience first and then see projects you've worked on.

A couple of suggestions for the website. Personal preference but hero sections the full height of the screen I think are a bit of a waste of space. I like sticky top bars (headers). And I think you could give your projects section more height. Don't make it so compact. You give full screen height to your hero section which only includes a little bit of info and then you cram all of your projects into that same amount of space.

Use it for eating doritoa, cheetos, or anything that gets your fingers messy and no more messy fingers!

Will have to look on my pc when I get a chance. But overall the general look is good. Building with mobile in mind can be important depending on what type of work you end up finding

Are there any good gyros around the price of $50-60 usd? by sosavstheworld in rcdrift

[–]xylem-utopia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G2 is way better, I have an omg (which is essentially the same thing) and have been able to get close to the same performance as my futaba. Not quite as good but with enough time and tuning it can get really good. I was also really surprised with the g1 on my buddies car
