I just bought a Moto X 2014 last week. I really, really like the active display.

While the rotation gesture to bring the camera is nice, I find that the pictures are more blurry than with the Google Camera. It's nice to take quick pictures, but if I have more than 3 seconds, I'll use Google Camera.

I was a bit disappointed with the battery too, so I rooted it to install Greenify. I'll see how it goes.

I very much like Action Launcher (which is not free). The features called "shutter" (swipe up on an app to display a widget) and "cover" (folders with a default app) are something that you don't know you need until you have them.

Quite possibly, and these features are the only interesting things from this launcher, that is otherwise rather classic

Lots of stuff...

- A game with LÖVE

- I'm fiddling with my Raspberry Pi

- I'm learning Sails.js

- I'd like to write more Python but don't have a project to do so.

>an industry that I hate and feel is fairly detrimental overall to society

That's interesting. Care to share why?
