⚠️ critical shork update ⚠️ 

pink friend has been acquired 🦈🦈🦈📈✨

oh! and all this cool stuff? it turns off if i unplug it and puts the thing back into power-saving mode

so Android 17 basically turns back into a humble media/steam link tablet again with really good battery life

which consequently acts like a pretty handy switch that requires no real input to toggle..!

all this stuff was actually pretty fast to set up, because i've messed with tasker and termux a heck of a lot on my phone before

deskdock is newer, but since it's basically just "android synergy", there wasn't much of a learning curve outside of the initial "holy heck! this stuff is so much easier to do with my normal mouse and keyboard" (and the fact that it binds the "home" key to the home button, so i accidentally do that when typing a lot now ^^')

something totally ad-lib i did recently was i grabbed the rainymood file, which i can now invoke whenever i like! (which turns out to be an excellent way to drown out background noise when trying to sleep)

and since this is running an ssh server, i can make my phone control all of the things Android 17 can do now too

this tablet (that i named "Android 17") was a freebie i got once, and was actually pretty dated at the time i got it

it still runs termux, tasker, and deskdock though!

i plan to have it scan for proximity of my phone (Android 18) and have it toggle a bunch of stuff based on that too, so certain things will only be active when i'm around

this is what the schoolbell thingy that reads my habit calender and notifies me sounds like

there's a biit of a delay for this one, but here's what the mirrored locking and unlocking looks like

here's what that fourth monitor thing looks like! (and the combined timeline)

Show thread

i'm currently using it like a faux-fourth monitor that i can control if i move my mouse off the edge of my last normal monitor. it also locks and unlocks when i do the same on my computer

i also have a lot of pretty power-hungry tasker and termux stuff set up on it because it's gonna likely be perpetually plugged in from now on!

it also, by default, has my masto and birdsite timelines all combined, just casually scrolling by

hee

getting excited over a dated android tablet i'm reviving into something significantly more useful than i ever thought possible

i'm really happy with how this turned out!

(i was just doing some color experimentation on my phone)

it seems that learning to draw is all about making lines with your pen in the right places and not in the wrong ones

i know this is wrong and self-gatekeepy, but a part of me still doesn't actually consider myself a real artist for some reason

hee, maybe this will be enough to accept it more!

i learned today that i was someone's favorite artist and, wow... ❤️

i never expected to know what that felt like. i'm so happy, aaaaaaa

i'm really happy with how this turned out!
