ROFL Not once, I felt the implication of it happening a lot was there…I guess that I was wrong. 😤

It’s fine! Misunderstandings happen, I’m just as guilty of misunderstanding as anyone else. 🫢

Oh, no dude gets away with handsome pass, I still shut them down regardless! I’m only amused, because a handsome dude should not have trouble getting action if he’s suave.

Unfortunately, based on the stories my female friends and co-workers share about the audacity of straight men who’ve felt entitled to sex after paying for dinner…It’s a common issue that women experience in the dating scene. Very often the women who told these stories are cautious and aren’t too forward, given they are concerned by sending the wrong message. Yet, it wasn’t uncommon for the subject to come up, that often was a date ender.

Personally, as a gay man, it didn’t happen much because Grindr is where most go if they want a hookup.

Could you clarify what you mean sexist in response to my comment? I want to be sure we’re on the same page before replying.

ROFL Oof, this has happened to me as well!

For the most part, I agree! I started with a dumb phone, moved on to the Samsung series of Android phones up until the inevitable would happen. I really liked those phones too, as theming is a passion of mine! I did switch to the Pixel 7 Pro because I at the time, I wasn’t too distrusting of Google. Alas, if only the pivot to LLM BS never happened and it remained a mostly background affair. The autocorrect with better spellchecking/grammar were nice, but everything else is a PITA.

I might be if you started on Android but then transitioned to iPhone 15+ and iOS after Google started to cram too much LLM Bullshit into Android. Otherwise, I had been a Windows person first, before I couldn’t tolerate Microsoft’s BS any longer. I should’ve left some more tech history in there, but this meme is certainly my current self!

I’m the Tech Conservative with an iPhone, uses the Fedora Distro as my ride or die at the moment! I feel pretty balanced…Though, I do have a desire to hop to other distros for a while before going back to where it all started: Ubuntu. Ubuntu started my passion for Linux; opened my world to FOSS, issues with Privacy, and viewing most companies with neutrality, unless they’ve shown their dark side!

ROFL If he were handsome, I’d probably be mildly amused but still shut him down.

ROFL If someone did that to me on a date, I’d be out the door too! A date should be a little bit getting to know you/flirty. If you’re after a piece of ass…There are apps for that. 🫢

chortles This meme is the embodiment of my first run ins with other gay men. To be fair, I was a mentally unstable vers dude before I cultivated mental stability within my mind.

Hah, I even got this pun, so this is a good one as a casual Linux user. You can stay!

ROFL This is accurate. It will certainly distract you from serious mental health issues but not act as a balm against inner discord.

This is often me on my first of four days off, because dammit, social interaction/being alive is so tiring.

They’re gradually phasing out the iTunes PC App…Apple has divided the functions of iTunes into several focused apps. The second reason why I’d love to get a Mac Mini is to get my music redownloaded. I didn’t back up my tunes on another hard drive, which was a beginner mistake. I did upload it to Apple Music, though.

ROFL Dual booting with Microsoft being as shitty as they are…Yeah, no. I very much am 100% committed to Linux on my Desktop. I might only make a small concession to getting a Mac Mini for iPhone management.

I don’t know, I think they wanted that Google money so much they didn’t bother! It might have been in the cards, but perhaps Google beat them to the punch and evaporated their desire to create a search engine. Search engines are likely not a business that Apple wants to get too involved in as well, that’s something to consider. Sometimes it’s better to use what is already out there and not sink too much capital in something so uncertain. I doubt Apple would’ve seen a serious amount of success with Google being the top dog in search.

LOL Yeah, I get it…Thus my non-serious response. Who know why people do anything? Personally, I can’t downvote, as it seems to be disabled by my current server. There have only been a few times that I’ve seen a post or comment really need a good old downvote. There are capable orgs out there, for now, I suppose in their perspective it is only Mozilla who could handle it. However, open source code can be read and seen by anyone, so that means there are people out there familiar enough with Firefox to take it on if needs must when the devil drives.

ROFL I wasn’t suggesting that you were suggesting that. Like any open source project, uh, talent tends to pick up important things that get abandoned. It would be an amusing turn of events, probably in the distant future when AI becomes a thing. That a program can start its own journey of self-improvement. 😂
