Fair point.

Yes, I toggled the setting over recently on Reddit - makes it a bit more fun to be weird in certain subs with very curious users.

Personal laptop is on Linux and working fine since I got it last year. Windows gaming machine is the next candidate for a move over this year.

They ding you for everything even you have this feature enabled for you (knowingly or unknowingly). Remember hearing about a user whose cat would run in front of his car when he was parking it at the end of the day. Car registered it as him almost hitting an object.

Drive on super bad/winding roads with bad lines? Lane assistance might show you as going over the lane lines that aren’t even there.

This service won’t be used to lower rates.

You can still see post history.

I still pepper my Reddit profile with a cohesive fake backstory, alluded to through random posts.

Randomly have chud redditors reach out to me after I upset them, making vague jokes/threats about my non-existent family or non-existent health issues.

Feels good.

Wasn’t terrible, wasn’t great, but I was younger. Cherish your youth.

I agree that it’s already started.

I don’t know about America losing. We have a wacko in charge that would rather nuke the world than admit defeat.

Which distro did you end up going with? Wanted to change my tower over from Windows. Guessing bazzite is appropriate?

I can’t see the video because I don’t have an x account anymore and it’s been marked as sensitive. Is there a mirror? I can’t find it on her BlueSky account.

You can only sell mods in their authorized mod stores. I don’t know if Rockstar has one.

You can sign up for an account now on browser. You can only log in with an email. They send you a confirmation code to your email that you have to put in, in order to log in. Once you do this, you can create your username (which is tied to an email). This is probably to stop people from using throwaway accounts to log in.

So far I like Lemmy more but I’ll scope it out to see what happens next.

Isn’t one of the guys behind reddit also behind bringing this back? It seems like another way to corner the market. I’d still join for a week to see if it could be my thing, though

These are basically my thoughts.

I won’t fault anyone for deleting their presence on social media, but if the goal is to disrupt the platform and perhaps start a movement for others to leave, leaving by itself won’t help.

Connections on social media aren’t as solid as they are in real life: they’re feed-based. Your loss will be drowned out by the feed.

I’d recommend leaving Twitter without actually leaving. As in: clear out your entire profile of data, change your pfp icon/banner accordingly, and change your bio to something supporting the call to leave.

Social media sites do well because, when people leave, the feed fills in around them and mutuals no longer know they’re gone. For added impact, set up an automated message saying why you’ve left and where to found you, or something else to that extent.

I think that being less capable is probably better for the current organization, especially if there are already people behind the scenes pulling strings.

Yes, I’ve gotten nonstop animated AI sex/noncon ads since turning off personalization.

Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of our past.

But it’s not looking good.

There aren’t children in hell.

Law and Order SVU 6.06 begs to differ.

Glad he ended up working on the right side, either way. It goes to show that there are people on the inside that eventually choose to do right for the right reason, and not just to try and save themselves at the last minute.

local communities be in charge of this themselves

You think that’s gonna be a reliably good model? To me that sounds like another hellscape waiting to happen.
