so many people left reddit and fled to discord. So sad. Discord was ALWAYS going to enshittify itself to death, but okay people.

I had dabbled in it off and on since LONG LONG ago, but I only went full time (no dual boot) since windows 11 release. So yeah, I bet there’s lots others like me.

Agree. I have tried gimp regularly over the past decade or so and never a single time has it been anywhere near close enough to act as a “replacement”. A free tool to use in a pinch, sure, but as a full on replacement? Not a chance in hell.

Childhood’s End

This is a low effort troll post.

os upgrades are free

bloatware is less on ios than on any other mobile os

the rest is idiocy.

save your time. Move on.

Best ever chill metal song: Orion.

haha, I had the Sony XM4’s as well and my favorite day ever of owning them was when I finally got so frustrated I threw them off the mower I was riding on and mowed over them. It felt SOOOOO GOOD. By far the biggest waste of money I have ever spent. Never again Sony anything even remotely related to that. Also never again anything without physical buttons.

bahahahaha. I just wanted to thank you for making me literally laugh out loud.

fuck this fucking guy so hard. The fact that he’s been able to UP UNTIL NOW spend all his time in the lap of luxury in palo alto is a disgrace.

My tin foil hat tells me that these captcha tests were never about preventing actual bots, but rather they were intentionally put in place for google / whoeverelse to get free training on their image recognition software ai.

Good, but like all other evil motions like this, they’ll just take a short break, rebrand it / rework it / rename it / etc… and try again. And again. And again. Until everyone gets tired.

We have to stay diligent and keep defeating these assholes every time they try to take over the entire internet.

yeah I think it means … ALL OF IT.

also double sucks because a lot of people have no choice but to use zoom. jobs require it.

I’m amazed they haven’t already. I suppose it was baked in super hard from the very beginning so divorcing from it now must be a huge task.

Agreed! I love the slow but steady pace of development. I’m already having a great experience here - give it a couple years even and it’ll be magnificent.

It does I think, not as much as it used to but every now and then I find good articles on there I wouldn’t have found elsewhere. For me, it’s worth a quick glance.

For tech I have Ars, Phoronix, TomsHardware, Slashdot. I feel that covers a lot and keeps me up to date.

For personal - I have never used whatsapp and never will. All my friends either use Signal or SMS. North America here.

For work - I am forced to use whatsapp and hate it, but would not be able to do my job without it, so I’m stuck.

that’s what I liked about it as well! Can sync my codes with icloud.

LOL I was going to switch to Raivo from Authy until I heard this, and then after some research settled on 2fas. Is it no good, or just doesn’t fit your use??? Now I’m hesitant again!

https://tchncs.de/ has all sorts of fediverse servers and seems to be very techy / dev oriented.
