Yea it took some time until my FP4 was supported by lineage, back when it was new. But if the price is an issue I doubt OP would get the latest model, anyway.

While the ad blocker integrated into Iodé is nice, their freemium model turns me away. Putting some ad blocking capabilities behind a subscription feels shady. Also they’re rather slow with updates. I’ve used it for a while and watched the ad blocker going from blocking virtually everything to blocking 66-75%.

I knit continental. Usually I tend towards too much tension. Here’s what I do to manage tension:

  1. As others mentioned, only use your index finger to manage the tension on your stitch. I pass the yarn between my fingers to increase friction and hold it with the pinky. Then I can loosen my grip between stitches to pull more yarn. The tension on the stitch is managed by the index finger. If you feel the yarn is too slippy, you can wrap it around your pinky to further increase friction. I only tension the yarn with my index finger to the point that it doesn’t have slack, maybe a little more. You don’t have to pull it taught.
  2. Where your stitches are on the needles when you stitch them also matters. The closer to the tip, the tighter they will be. I have to remind myself to leave enough yarn so I can pull the stitch off the needle from nearly 1cm back. It looks like a huge, sloppy stitch when pulling it off, but turns out fine afterwards.

Kickstarter has a massive spam problem in my experience and best I can tell it’s not talked about.
I backed a single project, immediately deactivated any and all communication from KS, except for that project, but I keep getting mails from different domains, advertising various stupid crowdfunding projects.
I have 16 blocked mails in the last week alone.

Motorola’s Moto G series is usually supported and relatively cheap.
However, if you’re willing to spend a little bit more I recommend getting a Fairphone, if you can. Simply because they guarantee 10 years of device support after release and you can easily get original replacement parts.
So you won’t have to get a new phone just because the battery died.

Only if they still sell the assets.
I’m in favour of also dropping any copyright and intellectual property protections the moment a company stops selling the game. They evidently have no more commercial aspirations for the title, so it doesn’t need any protection from technically feasible copy protection circumvention methods.

Amity doesn’t fly regularly. And not those high-G maneuvers.
