Fair point, although you could use them as slightly eccentric note cards. I know I have, with the ones that just happen to be lying around in a drawer.
The card punch and reader are over 40 years away in my past, but I keep these few cards because I think they're cute.

Thinking of getting a pair of these in for the next 30C heatwave. About 1.5m across. Might need to move the entire house into an industrial warehouse to make it work but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

Back to this thread. Have you shut down all the obvious irritation points? For me were:
1. Get gemini off the power button (side button option, long press now back to power off options)
2. Poke around everything to do with "gemini" and disable

Thoroughly enjoyed you and @jonboden.bsky.social tonight, live to our living room! Though the glaring faces on the totem in the background gave it a more folk-horror edge than I'd expected. Glad you both survived, sanity intact.
