Do you know about this homemade remake? I adore the love and ingenuity that went into making it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29s1yU3nGkQ

For me, it's Poor Things. I watched it three times in a row, when it came out. First of all, it's a perfectly executed movie for me, the style, the acting, the storytelling, Emma Stone. What makes it special for me, is that it embodies everything I like about my sexuality and I hope that humanity is heading in that direction of norm-breaking freedom of leading your life. Yorgos Lanthimos has a way of transporting a fresh view on possible paths for society.

I can understand your perspective, but I want to offer an alternative view, maybe less bound to societal preconceptions. I married my partner for many reasons, financial, wanting to raise a child together, wanting to share my life with them... But staying married for the rest of our lives is a crazy concept for us. The marriage has its purposes, but we both know that life can change and that we could decide that we had a good time, and that now the time has come to move on. A marriage is less romanticised for us, it has practical reasons. I guess being polyamorous helps with defining new relationship ideas on many levels ;)

I noticed that I tend to work on my projects in low light. I want to save my eyes and invest in a good light, and I remember that on reddit people recommended neck lights. Do you know any manufacturers that you would recommend?

I like to use Anki with some shared card decks: https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks?search=german

The learning pattern that Anki has configured by default suites me quite well and the app and the card deck is highly customizable.

Mind you, this is mostly only for learning vocabulary, not for learning grammer.

I don't know if this will keep the labels, but you can try to sync your contacts via DAVx5 to your nextcloud instance. Use https://f-droid.org/packages/at.bitfire.davdroid on both phones, this app syncs calendars, contacts and notes. In the setup it should be enough to login via URL and credentials. If you run into problems with this setup, let me know, I can try to assist you :)

Once you got that set up, it is a neat way to keep your contacts backed up and synced with other devices like a PC. If you want to dive further into the syncing without relying on Nextcloud, I recommend Baikal.

Good luck!

I don't know where you got "a couple of years old" from. Do you mean, that the Fairphone 4 in general is a couple of years old?

Because, on the website it says the refurbished devices are: "After less than a month of Fairphoning, the phone is returned" So the Fairphone was only in use for max 4 weeks. I would still count that as mostly first hand :)
