    Ah I see, if the Palma had a SIM + headphone jack it would've been close in terms of dream phone. Headphone jack would've been nice just because I don't think it has a built-in speaker and just has a mic? Would be a hassle setting up bt headphones every time you had to pick up a call

    Can the Palma handle 2FA apps?

    In terms of Boox devices there is Palma and a Poke 2, not sure what exact differences there are between those 2

    Looking up the Boox Palma device right now, it seems to be very handy actually. The only point where I may not be able to use it for everyday use would be that it seems to struggle with playing Spotify music. But I wouldn't mind picking up one of those 4G dumbphone devices that Nokia puts out for that usecase.

    Was born and raised in Pakistan, most people in big cities would disagree with these laws and I've never seen any Shariah punishment take place. As long as you don't disrespect the relgion and keep to yourself no one would really give a shit, most Pakistanis aren't truly practicing muslims and only follow Islam in name, or they preach whatever their local imam teaches them.

    I think it's also a factor where the economy is so bad and people can barely feed themselves, so cases like this just trigger a mob mentality.

    I agree with you and I love dressing up to work, but sleeping nude actually feels so nice. Especially when I'm sleeping with my partner, Both of us didn't use to like it before we got together.

    Just started The Sound Of Waves, also trying to get into Dostoevsky again. I love his works but just cant engross myself into them like I can with other authors. Starting with Notes from Underground loved that my first time, after that will will The Adolescent maybe. Or try again at TBK/C&P/The Idiot, always found those last 3 extremely boring whenever I attempted to read them. Had made my way across like 50% of each work and it just didn't click for me, anyways besides that am reading Benjamin Franklin's biography.

    I've been building a productivity webapp! Decided to use django + default mysql for db while the debate for frontend is still going on but it's either going to be materialUI/chakraUI or just basic html/css/js? Thinking of tailwind, alpinejs and stuff but want to keep it as simple as possible and design a system with which I can be very fast and very comfortable so that in the future if I have an idea I can ship it asap.

    Goals are to be:
    1- as minimal as possible
    2- as maintainable as possible
    3- as scalable as possible without creating short term technical debt
