Nah, I really like em on the skinny side.

Thick butts. No thank you. A little bump is nice, but most of what’s out there is gross, and with a surface resembling asteroid impact craters.

Pointless, unless you leave the roomba running outdoors. Indoors you don’t have GPS coverage, and your phone is logged onto the same cell tower anyway. Might just leave it stationary at home, same outcome.

Same. I’ve come to terms using it in browser mode on Edge, same for Outlook. The desktop applications are so horrific, I uninstalled both. Half the time they wouldn’t work or force log me out.

Now I literally have a standalone screen that’s showing nothing but Edge with those two tabs on, and all my productive environment is on a nice large screen where I don’t have to see the crap.

It’s ok, I’m using the free tier and regularly delete and set up new addresses. Works for the really spammy stuff.

I also good a paid account with addy.io where I added one of my domains, that’s something I use for more legit services where I want more control about the username, so I can always use something like [email protected] and never have to worry about finding obscure usernames. And if I stop using a certain service, I can just switch off the alias and never bother about retention crap.

Liberals are genocide apologists?!

No. With moderate exercise and checking for correct sitting postures, you shouldn’t ever have back pain. I’m in my 40s and only feel a bit tight when I overdid my exercise routine.

The developers of Lemmy also run lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml, the former being a hardcore communist anti-everything delusional conspiracy crapshoot of a platform, the latter a tiny bit more relaxed, but moderated/administered by a bunch of dicks that are essentially also tankies (= hardcore leftists) and Russia fans/apologists.

They (the devs) recently asked for funding to support their work, and in doing so, disclosed that part of the funding would be used to run those two instances, thus giving users no alternative to support without cross-financing extremism.

Piefed is developed independently and has none of those links to moronic ideologies.

Piefed as a platform uses the same underlying protocol as lemmy, mastodon, etc. (Activity Hub), so users can seamlessly interact with one another.

There’s one near my house, and it has no mute button whatsoever. No buttons at all, in fact. You tap your card to the reader, then lift the pump of whichever variety you need, and that moment the ads start. With sound on full blast as well.

I’ve left a negative google review and make sure to update it monthly so that it stays on top, and drive to another station quite a bit further off just to avoid this crapshoot.

Right, thanks!

Never heard of that thing, but apparently it was Apple exclusives? Deserved death then.

I’m hoping ladybug will be operational for mainstream use, before the enshittification of Firefox progresses too far.

Define “loosely”. You really think there’s more than maybe 3 or 4 states that’d have a chance to sustain themselves on their own? And if a bunch of states would stick together against the others, you’ve got civil war reloaded. With drones, nukes, and blackhawks. Fun times.

I hate Google’s material design with a passion. Everything looks exactly the same, and many buttons and other touch elements are indistinguishable from highlights and general design elements.

I think it has been there for a bit, but was still in alpha. Preferred.social had it running for a while, that’s their official test instance. But good to see it working!

This article is a thinly veiled ad paired with fearmongering to get gullible users to buy the shit phones they sell (or not, some people have been on “waitlists” for 5+ years after providing a full payment).

Granted, their phones are fully open, but have next to no apps.

Personally I’ll stick with Android 12, rooted, and see what the future brings.

Is the API active? I want to use PieFed over Lemmy, but don’t like to join so called “flagship instances”, they always go overboard with moderation at some point.

So instead of joining piefed.social I signed up with .au, only to find out that the admin never bothered to activate the api, so can’t use any apps, and posts aren’t federating outwards properly.

Edit: Confirmed working, registration sent.

Edit 2: Approved within 5 min, thanks for that!

Youtube has ads? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Only works on Pixels, and I’d rather not give Google any money.

At that point I’d just get a dumb phone for calls and a tablet with data only SIM for the rest.

Thanks for that! Yeah we tried promoting the community, but it never really got traction. With lemm.ee shutting down, it was either let it die or start over elsewhere, so I don’t mind having someone else try :-)
