What do you want him to do, exactly?

His entire channel is gold

Nahh, an article can present a point of view we deem to be "correct" while still engaging in clickbait and sensationalism. I'm not interested in clickbait or sensationalism, so I find that my filtering methods do a pretty good job of getting rid of most of the trash.

That too, I can't believe some of my friends bar tabs. Who drops a couple hundred bucks a night in this economy? Many people, that's who.

Water because I'm a raging alcoholic

Might just be the app I use, idk.

Switched to this a couple weeks ago. I'm used to swipe typing on gboard. Unfortunately the swipe typing on FUTO is nowhere near useable for me yet. The accuracy is horrendous, and much of the time it just gives up on inputting any word at all.

Unfortunately swiping on Gboard has been my main method of typing for more than a decade. I'm so accustomed to it that I can type full sentences without even looking at my phone.

So in an effort to improve my privacy (by discontinuing my use of a piece of keylogging spyware as a keyboard) I've sacrificed the speed of swipe typing. Everything takes much longer to type now. Worth it? I guess I'll keep trying for a month or so and decide then.

Glad you posted this, it reminded me to update my Lemmy content filter! Up to now, I've just filtered out any headline including the word "slam, slammed, or slams." Because those headlines are garbage. Now I've remembered I need to add the word "blast, blasted, and blasts," because those are garbage too. Thanks!!

"Cruisin" is no longer a thing

That's not the case in much of the rural US. In small towns (~30-75k) everywhere there are kids driving up and down the road every Friday and Saturday night.

Couldn't possibly agree more. One of the biggest barriers to sharing my enthusiasm for Linux with my friends is filtering out all of the cringey anime weeb shit that somehow gets posted along with it. Why does open source software need to be associated with creepy drawings of little girls? Absolutely the worst vibes.

Fun fact: It doesn't even meet Apple's own standard for text contrast!

Dude... Who here is asking for "a magical piece of PCB for free?" I'm assuming that means you think people are asking for free phones?

See the last sentence of my original comment.

It's about the social phenomenon around the imessage chat colors, which is intentional on Apple's part. You must have a social in-group and an out-group. To be in the in-group, you must purchase the correct products, subscribe to the correct services.

CONSUME

Apple doesn't "share a lot of the blame." The blame belongs solely to Apple and their insistence on a closed ecosystem. They intentionally hamstring any cross functionality with competing devices, even features as simple as text messaging. It's important for Apple to foster a cult-like mentality among their consumers.

The American Gestapo exist to enforce their feelings and advance the interests of wealthy property owners.

How about TWO layers of tissue? Checkmate, scientists.

Signed, the toilet seat nest-builders of the world.

Can it be implied that they're very graphic?

One of my first cars was a 90s Chevy Astrovan. Good, good times in that vehicle. Rocked like a boat coming to a stop. 4.3l v6 had plenty of power. AWD as well. Room for friends.

LOL I'm never retiring. I've already accepted that I'll be working until I'm dead. There are those who get dealt the right cards and will get to retire comfortably. I'm just not one of them.

I've worked for and with some famous people. It doesn't look like fun, I wouldn't want it for myself. You're surrounded by enablers who will reinforce your worst character traits. The public gets exhausting to deal with after a while. Sometimes you're just having a bad day and don't feel like taking selfies with random strangers instead of going about your day. Public figures can be difficult to get along with in close settings because of all these reasons and more.

Wouldn't want to be one, I'll happily take their money though.
