I am far far from being a web developer or anything related to the IT field but something about that field scratch parts of my brain to the point of being interested in it and learn how to use some of the community tips.
Lately I’ve been into searching Open sources Apps/shortcuts/customisations of the Apple OS on Github.
(So far i discovered two interesting stuff - one for the windows 95 theme for iphone and the second was a notch app for my macbook 2019)

So i came across a web app that allow you to have the notch thing on your old Macbook (the ones without a notch) - don’t get intimidated by Github, in the post they already have a direct Link to download their app - i put the Github in order to have all the instructions needed to be able to make it work properly.

in recent years because of the Political Climate i have become very paranoid about using proprietary corporate technology and have been trying to transition everything i can to open-source and / or self-hosted alternatives. the problem is that i have been a vscode (microsoft 😡) user for almost ten years now.
i have long been jealous of those 60 year old vim guys who can type faster than i can think, but every time i've tried to dive in myself i completely bounced off - as someone who has spent my entire life using conventional text editors it was like giving myself a frontal lobotomy. but a few months ago i decided that i was gonna stop being a little bitch baby and actually try to make the jump to neovim - and it has been a brutal, long, and arduous journey, but i've finally reached the summit, and i (1) am extremely proud of myself and (2) finally understand what everyone's been going on about all these years.
i finally "get" it. i've linked the no boilerplate video that finally sold me, but the gist of it is that vim is really unmatched as an editor. i can manipulate text at a speed and precision far beyond anything that i could do in VScode, and i can do it all without having to pick up the mouse (and aggravate my carpal tunnel)! as a bonus i get to pretend that i'm using one of those terminals in the matrix. i dropped the vscode executable in my trash today and i'm not going back

I can’t find the Creator and i am mad about it because i wanna credit the one who made sure to put this for free.
I’ve found this website RetroPrint where they show the details of how you can make a Windows 95 customised theme on your phone (with over 800 icons app to choose from 27 of them are already made for the modern apps like netflix twitter etc - some graphics for the widgets too And 3 sounds.)

😃The fact that i can stay in bed warm with my phone or laptop and music in the background as i watch my favourite movies/series/youtube vids with a warm tea is simple enough to make me grateful for wherever i am today.
Worrying about what I should wear to work is a beautiful thing because it’s a privilege that sadly some people can’t afford :(
Complaining about to cook is a beautiful thing because someone somewhere sadly can’t even afford/have access to a simple bread piece.
Literally feeling the warmth of the sun while standing waiting for the bus is a beautiful thing to cherish and be grateful for.

If there is one style that literally calms me is stippling.
The endless dots, the slow process, the nuance effect, the final results.
I just love it and appreciate it even more when i spend hours/days to finish one.
