it works good enough in a pinch, honestly

It will help one build their immunity, it’s fine. /s

Depends. This might be weird but I like a few soggy McDonald’s fries in the bunch of crispy ones. I suppose I can extend that to shoe string fries. But whatever unhealthy capitalist magic McDonald’s do to their fries I just dig it.

That makes sense to me. permitted hunting to cull invasive animals in many places of the world is still going. I don’t see a problem with extending that to bug game hunting in Africa the way you described it. Like it or not humanity have changed ecosystems plenty of times in various scope and scale

I hope it doesn’t go away. I’m mid 30s now and I want to still laugh at Uranus jokes and other silly jokes.

same here. I still prefer dark mode, provided it is designed with it in mind from the get go.

as a dark mode enjoyer, as I grow older I found that I prefer not pure black for the background, and not pure white for the text. sometimes google did well in the case of material UI guideline in the beginning. they set that the background is almost black gray and the text some kind of offwhite IIRC. Back then I disliked it but now I understand the decision.

if a website or app is designed with dark mode in the first place I found that it is a lot more calming to me to look at it a long time. although for eink and similar technology displays, I still prefer traditional black text In white.

You had me with the first half, ngl

Judging from the available pictures in the article, I assume it will be as thick as the ultra phones from vivo, oppo, etc with their camera mega island / stove top. So as thick as the phone’s thinnest side.

The Fediverse is utopian but I don’t think anyone here really believes it will ever be anything more than a cluster of fringe communities.

A lot of people like it this way but I really don’t. What I wished happened during the last few reddit exodus was what happened back in around 2010 when digg users ran away to back-then-new reddit. The good thing about the fediverse is that people can actually choose instances they like that defedrates from content they don’t like. I’m a hypocrite if I say I don’t agree with that.

But somehow something must have changed with internet users between the digg-to-reddit exodus to newreddit-to-fediverse exoduses (weird that my auto-complete says this is the correct plural form) and not a lot of people want to contribute for making content. I’m pointing at myself as well so sometimes I do ponder why I don’t be the change I want.

Gist of it is I want reddit circa 2010-2015 on the threadiverse specifically (as I don’t use the micro-blogging side) but it’s having trouble attaining good people that are willing to contribute time and energy to make worthwhile content.

I guess we have to make that post their top post now

If I’m on the receiving end of that, I’d flip a coin or roll a dice for a decision. If I don’t like it, I pick the other (two choices, coin flip), or reroll (more than two, dice roll). IDK where I heard this tip before but I really like it. Of course I only mostly do this for trivial stuff like where/what to eat, where to hang out at, etc.

Someone else that remembers /r/subsimulatorgpt2. It was fun seeing the bots posting nonsense until they have to shut it down.

Now, not so much…

I remember there was a subreddit that’s dedicated to bots using gpt posting nonsense. No non bots are allowed to post there, and sometimes when there’s gold we post it on a sister sub to comment on them. IIRC the way it works is there’s a bunch of bots that scan some top something subreddits and post in the gpt sub. So for example there would be a /r/worldnews_bot, /r/aww_bot, etc. you get the idea.

In English class (am not from English speaking country) and exams, I always pick the fiction essay category. The school here (back 20 years ago, dunno how they do it now) has formatted essays (like writing a (in)formal letter, or a report) choice for easy marks. I don’t like writing those. For what it’s worth, I got on average A’s on my English exams. There’s a minimum word count to reach for free essays, and I used to get comments from my teacher to cut it short and not go past double the word count lol. Sadly I don’t remember what that word count was. I am very thankful for my teacher for encouraging my class to read and practice writing English so much. I even have a pocket thesaurus/dictionary I carry everywhere back then alongside whatever novel I was reading that time.

Point is, idk what my point is lol. Just sharing.

Edit: so okay maybe a point can be said about interest of the topic in writing (essays). I did bad on any other topic essays (geography, history, not science though I scored those essays).

oh hey, I just installed swiff last night, and another well timed (at least as far as I encounter it) Bryant article about it. 🤩

It’s why I’ve been looking for smaller channels that have old phones and compared them with less older phones. Sadly I’m not finding any luck with this that I felt quality enough.

One of the feet pics I’m okay with

Yeah that’s weird. Quite a few of the smaller refurb shops here (south East Asia) just pirate Windows and Office suite.

What I’m worried about is some of those greedy fuckhead parasites would start courting big indie studios and AA games and ruining a part of that scene
