I don't have much of a following on here like the Twitter good ol' days, but does anyone have any recommendations for a child's first phone? Ideally, no social, apps etc but allows GPS tracking.

A "dumb phone" but looks and feels like a smartphone.

Found the HMD Fuse, but no idea if decent?

@jake74.bsky.social Afternoon Jake, do you know much about handheld retro consoles, similar to the Miyoo? Wondering which comes out top. Looking for one which has a large selection of games.

This thread is excellent and just keeps on going
Gashapon (or Gachapon) are vending machines found all over Japan that dispense capsules containing miniature toys and other items. There are thousands of different kinds. Here’s a thread of the best ones I saw on my recent trip. 🧵

INTERVIEWER: can you explain these gaps in your resume?

ME: yes, they separate the words so you can read them easier.

If you like amazing, moody, monochromatic artwork, why not follow my sister’s art account on Instagram?

Blows my mind how I can be related to someone so talented.
