i don't wanna be married, they better not assign me shit

i still judge people who film in portrait tbh. I can't stand vertical videos, it's the main reason i never made a tiktok.

they read books

once the boomers get there and start liking it, that's when you know it's about to reach peak and crash hard. my parents are talking about reddit. case in point.

LibreOffice for replacing Microsoft Office

because this guy has made so many great decisions in the past, right? lol

damn im sorry that you're only getting dads

corporate vs. free, then zoom into free and vs. bad instances. we still need something like TheBadSpace to help with safety and moderation.

wapo said mask off, we're voting for fascism. wow.

what happened to school guidance counselors? they still exist, right?

lol you right

all these visitors flying in with their germs and shopping in crowds, yeah you bet im masking up

I believe kbin is updating the API, working on bug fixes and improvements and such, so the site is spotty right now. It said this would be happening for a few days, but that was a few days ago...

Kind of points out the obvious, but at least it's scientifically proven now.

It could be cool to have a fediverse alternative for IMDb or Letterbox. I used to track/rate movies and episodes of a show I'd watched on IMDb (the episodes mostly so I knew where I left off) but no longer want to deal with websites stuffed with ads. Would love to see something like this for the fedi but haven't come across anything.

It'd be super cool if we could connect article-hosting services with the power of activitypub or something but like one of those commenters mentioned, the issue would always be spam and security.

another worrying side effect is that when school shootings happen, students won't be able to post for help to social media

they keep switching lanes

social engineering

Made some progress towards Spanish fluency. Still not fully fluent, but went up a CEFR level.

If it doesn't apply to the .org side, that would be great. But even I'm not sure I'd want to stick with them as a company.

At first I thought this was good because this is actually what I want my tax dollars to go toward. But it seems like that is not what the writer of this article is saying...

While I appreciate this article and those like it, too many of these types of articles don't focus enough on the solution. I expected an article titled "how to save" to offer more solutions to what can be done, but that's mostly left to a single paragraph about being more intentional and thoughtful and "sitting with your own feelings."

If something isn't done to actually change the consumerist culture and insidious marketing models and data collection practices, we'll have another article like this in another few years, like we have had every few years. We were talking about filter bubbles when I was in high school over ten years ago. It's only gotten worse.

I'm wondering how this will affect Spotify, because back when I paid for Spotify it came bundled with Hulu.

YouTube shuffle, Bandcamp feed, internet radio stations

lmao maybe so!

Damn, it's just like that show, The 100

Listen to independent radio stations. Usually can find a stream link online and plug into a music player app.

I haven't listened yet but this relates to something that's been bugging me and I haven't found the right place to write it. This is also part of why I never got into TikTok in the first place. I did have a TikTok account for a few days and tried to see what the hype was about after all these years. But I was immediately turned off by the fact that after a video plays it goes down straight to the next one. It's not like Insta where you can control the speed at which you scroll through the content. It forces speed onto you. I could only use the app for a few minutes before getting overstimulated and overwhelmed and had to close it. I never installed it again.

It all comes back to the manifestations of this need for efficiency. There's cultural pressure to consume the next content chunk, while incentives or abilities to stop and savor things have been removed.

I keep thinking of Thoreau's advice to "simplify, simplify." Corporations wanna keep adding all these extra features that supposedly increase efficiency but they just create complications and headaches for their users.

yeah I wouldn't use it for doing the whole thing, but have been using it here and there to help me figure out why I'm getting errors and how to solve them. As a newbie programmer it helps guide me back to the right path.

However... even that doesn't work all the time because it's still not smart enough to isolate issues coming from imports, plus some other minor hiccups.

okay but did yours start closer to your wrist as a child and move closer toward the elbow over time?

i am generally a calm person in public until I'm triggered by a surveillance drone or police helicopter. I am only angry in public when i feel like I'm being watched. this will not bring out my best behavior. in fact it will do the opposite. i will scream and tear down everything in my vicinity if i feel i am being spied on.

now that I have been spoiled by floorp with workspaces, I have to ask... does it do workspaces? I can't find it on the site if it does

This is so sad to hear.

Damn, even the nurses? Public education is even more of a mess than I thought.
