I only found out about the emoji keyboard when I got a Microsoft ergo keyboard at work, and it has a dedicated button for the emoji keyboard

Didn’t Reddit already drop at least 40% in valuation from when they started the IPO process a year or so ago?

Ikr? It might be the nostalgia talking Atomic Purple is always an amazing look for handhelds

I’m just waiting for someone to admit to using TempleOS as their daily driver

Yuuuup. I found it an hour or so after making this comment. It just wasn’t where I expected at first, which is really on me lol

I highly recommend PC Partpicker for compiling all your components (although I don’t typically follow the listed purchase links). The comparability checker it has can save some real headaches!

Otherwise, some general advice:

1. Remember the motherboard standoff screws. Most cases these days have them pre-installed, but my first rig did not. And I bent the mobo a little bit before realizing my mistake. It still worked in the end, but it’s now my #1 cautionary tale about PC Building.

2. Do yourself a favor, and make an attempt at proper cable management. It’ll make replacing components so much easier down the line.

3. Get a fully modular PSU (if in your budget). This will help with #2 above immensely.

4. Read the manual that comes with your motherboard. It usually has a lot of guidance for assembling the computer, especially if this is your first time.

5. Have fun! PC Building/Gaming is one of my favorite hobbies, and I’m always glad to see new people getting interested in it!

Good luck, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!

So far everything is just a case of getting used to it for me. I’m using the Jerboa app, and the two biggest improvements I can see right now are 1) allowing me to change the default sort (top, new, active, etc.). I can change it every time I open the app, but I’d like to be able to set it and forget it and 2) I’m not a huge fan of pinned posts staying at the top of my feed no matter how I’m sorting it, although this would also be solved by hiding already read posts, I suppose.
