at some point I would have said, ‘Well, on Reddit…’
I don’t see why this is bad. Even now, it’s still a major forum of incredible human wisdom and knowledge that you can’t easily find anywhere else—not even here quite yet, I think. It’s the leadership that sucks but the users are mostly amazing (in specific subreddits, at least), and those are the awesome people I refer to and am grateful for interaction with.
Yes, it was the cheap camera tricks obscuring parts of the map that you could go to that did it for me. It was, like, basically making you check for every possible secret despite the limited abilities of no camera control nor destructible terrain… I get that there was an era of games with this mindset (sorta like some Metroid-&-other games, I suppose), but I just don’t have time for that any more.
This may sound odd to some, but my stance towards quality games is: punish fairly. Life is hard enough as it is so I don’t need a game also going, “Haha, well, screw you here, too.” Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Thanks, I see it now. I’ve clearly been spoiled by Boost, which can copy text directly from the post overview without needing step 1.
I genuinely believe that the world would have been better off without my existence disrupting the natural order.
maybe it’s not as traumatic to have never experienced it?
There is zero trauma in nonexistence; there is indeed nothing at all, which includes all happy memories as well. No garlic pesto pizza, no Andor season 2, music, sports, games, Lemmy…
This post about why we should bother to stay alive is probably relevant and interesting: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/38873684
They will have their own wash cycles/protocols because everyone knows that filth slows things down, especially joints and moving parts. Indoor ones will be programmed to stay sanitary for our sake, so they may even have UV-based self-cleaning capabilities.
They can’t perceive any sense the way organic brains do, but they can still pick up on chemical composition; I recommend that you get an air filter with a reactive/smart detection system. We already have carbon monoxide, radon, etc. detectors, after all. They’ll be really sophisticated! And they’ll cost accordingly…
Don’t worry; we’re evening it out! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations
US Mobile is a self-proclaimed “supercarrier” which offers SIMs across all major networks (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), so you can change as you like according to your phone’s compatibility. However, the CEO (who is active on /r/usmobile) has been known to kick existing customer loyalty to the curb in favor of new members, and their customer service centers are in Pakistan, where he’s from.
These may or may not be good or bad things depending on your threat model, but one thing’s for sure: their price is unbeatable! Come to think of it, I have a referral link for anyone who may be interested, but that’s up to you. I actually dislike the CEO’s practices, but I’m already locked in for a year and didn’t know until later…
Your Android device doesn’t have a personal dictionary section in the Language & Input page? What phone do you have? Yeah, keeping it offline is probably fine, but I’m just surprised since this has been a thing for at least 7 Android versions now, as far as I know.
By the way, HeliBoard (an offline fork of the now-defunct OpenBoard) seems to have its own private, built-in personal dictionary; I migrated to that since finding out.
Is it possible to use a number different to the one on the device you use?
Yes: mine uses a Google Voice number.
Exactly, that’s why I don’t have one.

Just move to VSCodium, which is VSCode with the telemetry removed! That’s what I’m on and it’s great.
It sounds like a pain, but I think it’s worth doing.
Or what about just, you know, avoiding any kind of thing that requires a LinkedIn account?
Just as a warning, LibreWolf inherently messes with the browser time zone as a key aspect of its programming, so if you schedule videos for publication (for example), they’ll publish at a way different time. Seeing how there was no way to easily turn off its time zone obfuscation was what reverted me to Waterfox. It can also mess with scheduled messages or timestamps in chat apps.
I’ve been on Waterfox for years with no problem. !waterfox@programming.dev
“If they knew better, they’d do better.”
A comparison to malware isn’t quite accurate because in this case, the software itself is already attacking you when it ideally should be neutral.
Ha, I just made !espanso@programming.dev recently!
Which brand? My IKEA Morgedal (now superseded by some other name) has been incredible.
