  • It brings a tear to my eye with the thought that I’m pretty certain I started the trend of this particular phrasing. I had never seen it before I made my meme and now it’s popping up on Lemmy every now and again.

    It’s a sentiment I truly stand behind as I feel the internet should be a safe haven to write what you feel in the most raw form possible. When we start giving up the one public space we have truly left to ourselves to the advertisers, there will be no open communication left.

    Fuck the algospeak, fuck the system. Say FUCK on the internet.

    This is actually why I ended up switching a couple years ago. I started when Android was balls-to-the-wall customization and there were tons of custom ROMs. You could theme all of Material UI and my phone looked nothing like when I first got it. By the time I left, you could get like one of 5 very expensive phones that had unlocked bootloaders and even those had very few ROMs.

    Even with the custom ROMs, the joy was dead. You couldn’t wildly theme everything from the boot logo to the lock screen to the notification bar. It had been boiled down to pretty much the same set of customizations as the iPhone and the iPhone was more reliable. I didn’t want to switch, necessarily, but for my use cases as least, it just ended up being the easier choice.







  • Yeah, I tried the same many years ago. Problem was that I had a super tiny car in a big city where everyone speeds all the time, so it never gave me a discount because I was always speeding and breaking harshly.

    How can I be a smooth driver when no one else is? It also dinged me for driving at night when I was doing a volunteer job in the evening while my day job was WFH. Such BS.

    Set yo boundaries yo! I agree with what others are saying here. Turn them off! No one needs to know if you’ve read jack. And if I had someone skulking online status and expected me to be available based on that, I’d nip that in the bud quick. I’m available when I respond and say I’m available. Otherwise, tough luck.

    You are the only one in control of your availability. Let others know.
