The Velour Fog

Aw come on, leave Notepad alone! It’s like the last good Windows program.

And he and his “landed gentry” have been working round the clock to silence negative opinions about shitty people like Musk and Kirk.

I’m starting to get convinced that Redditors and mods are just gluttons for punishment by that platform.

They’re planning on kneecapping old.reddit in this update too, and you see all the typical howling about “if they kill old.reddit I’m leaving fr this time” while at the same time, another big thread one comment lower is about all the ridiculous bans that people have gotten. And this is a mere two years after the API fiasco.

Why do people continue to use a platform that has proven time and time again that the asshole(s) in charge do not give a single fuck about them?

Can confirm. You can have the mildest takes and still get permbanned.

Did you know, that saying Neo-Nazis should be named and shamed is a permbannable offense?

Reddit is becoming Xitter 2.0 and I’m really hoping the remaining human users on there figure it out soon.

The smallest extant flightless bird in the world is the Inaccessible Rail.

My first cell phone was a flip phone, and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve considered revisiting my teenage days again and getting one. But I feel like, right now, my smartphone use is very light.

I avoid Meta apps, I don’t play mobile games, my biggest vice was reddit which has now become a shithole of bots and censorship so I don’t go on there anymore. I read the news on here, chat a little on Discord, check my birdfeeder and that’s pretty much it besides occasional use of google maps as needed.

On top of that, this phone is from 2018 so its battery life these days is not great. I think that helps too.

Maybe for those hesitating to get a dumb phone, perhaps start with an older smartphone to whittle your time down?

I just don’t understand why someone would willingly add an unecessary middleman. Just ask the Internet directly, no need to run it through a word prediction algorithm based on input from the Internet.

Please don’t use Grok. That’s just supporting Musk.

Also, why would you ask an AI if you were going to ask people anyway?

Some mainstream websites and services are practically unusable when using a VPN, too. I’m glad I stopped using imgur years ago but I wish the rest of the world would catch up…

All off except for texts, calls, voicemail, and like 2 other apps - discord messages or mentions (very limited, most servers I join get completely muted), and birdbuddy for most of the year until they start blowing up my phone with ads about their stupid Kickstarter, then it gets turned off.

I can’t stand unnecessary notifications. It pisses me off.

I like hanging out on Wolfhome.com - it’s a graphical chat site that’s been running near continuously since 1999. The code/UI is a bit dated but there’s a nice group of folks there.

Why tf are they encouraging dating when their userbase is primarily children???

That’s just asking for more predators on their platform!

I mean, we all know that reality has a well known liberal bias…

Greentheonly also has a reddit account and was commenting on this article over there. I’m incredibly surprised that he hasn’t been permbanned yet. That’s usually what happens.

Questions mostly directed to FtM if possible:

I’m non-binary/transmasc, would I qualify for top surgery/sterilization as is or do I have to fully commit to HRT? Who do I even talk to about this? Will I get resistance from medical professionals?

Unfortunately, I live in the US and my health insurance is UHC. Do I have a snowballs chance in hell of getting gender affirming care covered by them?

Someone should ban this shill/bot.

Does this law apply to all social media/social media-type sites, or only social media websites under the umbrella of the NetChoice group?

The articles on this are all frustratingly vague. Bluesky is not under NetChoice so I assume all social media sites will eventually be blocking MS IPs?

Yeah, my bfs dad is constantly filling his house, garage, and yard with a bunch of crap that he’ll never use. It just sits there and gets forgotten and deteriorates. Took us 6 years but we got like 90% of what he was storing out of our house too.

Wow, his statement sure sounds like a threat to current employees.
