Wow Amazon Prime and Nestle. I know I shouldn’t shame my fellow captives, since I’m sure I’m doing something that another person would find reprehensible

I’m hoping it’ll be like with the desktop ecosystem – as the mainstream mobile OSes enshittify, more people (and developers) will be driven to use (and contribute to) the linux alt.

Sure, but someone will without a doubt add the functionality. They always do. Seems to be the case with anything linux.

literally burned an entire morning because I have a shift that starts at 13h 🙈

Without a doubt. That’s pretty minor, considering I don’t think I’ve ever adjusted call volume in my life.

Like desktop level. Password protected. Encryption would be nice. As for reliability, I’m willing to put up with slowdown, waiting up to a minute to open apps, and maybe 2 hard crashes a day, if it means I get a fully free phone, or at least as close to it as we get now.

I like Graphene, but I’m at the point where I would put up with less security for more freedom – I just wouldn’t put anything actually sensitive on my phone.

It’s kind of silly that my phone should be an everything-device.

Or really, I just do my banking on the laptop.

Can’t you use a browser for banking? That’s what I do.

Oh well that specifically wait and see, sure. But obviously it shouldn’t move the needle on your opinion of the state of Israel and their unconscionable siege of Gaza, is what I meant.

I’m a recovering indoor shoe wearer, so socks are like my harm reduction. But I’m trying to wear them (and shoes) less in the house, because I believe it’s better in the long term for your feet and back muscles. At least it feels like more work to me, and so it’s probably good for me.

Floppy socks are to me a clearer sign of degeneracy than if I caught someone mixing poop with alcohol to make the poop last longer.

Well yeah, but we’ve got plenty of facts already. Decades of facts, in fact.

It’s like climate change. Yes, we’re constantly learning new things, but the fact that we are in crisis is not disputable.

We have more than enough facts to condemn and convict Israel and Netanyahu of crimes against humanity.

I got pretty confused with the shifts schedule. It was just a printed sheet on the wall and changed frequently. Really the main reason is someone else shared my same initials, and I just consistently showed up to the wrong shifts. Probably would have figured out a system eventually, but got canned before that happened.

Me when I got a job working counter at train station (I got fired because I cannot figure out fulltime shifts)

Do people not even Emmet anymore?? Tsk…

I’m sure there are all kinds of different cases, but let me just say that I didn’t have to hustle nearly this hard just to get by in w 2005. It was fine that I was “absent minded” but now it’s like everyone’s got to be full-on all the time.

Like wtf happened?? Things used to be chill, now we’re fighting over the meagrest scraps.

So brave of him to ask troops to detain himself 😔

Real? This is news to me!

Same thing here. There was a brief period where I thought I could just worry about my own affairs, get a little informed, then vote once in a while — trusting there were adults in charge of the boring business of government, with our collective best interests in mind — well, fuck me for assuming those that seek power would know how to use it responsibly, because now I’ve got to get involved in my local politics and activism just to be a good citizen Ig. But God damn do I wish I could just focus on handling my own personal shit, because that is hard enough on its own, let me tell you…
