Use the keyword block lists to curate your feed. Don’t just accept a firehose of random shit blasted at your face.

I love that there’s a minimum age to be prez but no maximum age. You should not be able to hold office if you’re older than 70.

Its wild how it took no time at all for the masses to outsource their brains to the first thing that offered the service; no concern at all for the quality of the service either. The last 5 years have just confirmed every shitty thought I’ve had about humanity over the years.

Put GrapheneOS on it.

Rrrrrrrrrroundddddddd…

Wasn’t it Dawkins that coined the term?

They see the end in sight. Don’t hold the bag for them.

I use one main page with only the home row of 5 apps, and one other page to hold my calendar and budget widgets. I use the default app tray to open apps instead of scattering them across screens. Pixel 8 Graphene OS.

Same here. The only socials I have beyond this are Strava, a few Discord communities for tech support-type stuff and YouTube comments if that counts.

The Reddit API exodus was the canary in the coal mine for me. My entire technical/social life changed for the better after that.

Nickelback’d.

This is probably the least harmful tinfoil hat on the internet.

Honestly, I don’t get why people are so aggressive towards Sxan. If it bugs you, just block them and be on your way. The first time I saw the thorn it was a curiosity. Once I knew what the intended purpose was it was easy to just shrug and move on. I’ve actually gotten used to it now and its not an inconvenience at all to read.

Constantly harassing someone because they fancy the use of a non-standard character in their comments is ludicrous behaviour, especially since we all have the tools to filter posts/users from our feeds at will; a few clicks and you never have to worry about it again.

I read this and immediately felt my salivary glands activate.

Go ahead and be a pessimist all you like. No need to embroil others in your misery. Honestly if you really don’t care then why toss shit at someone about their character, as if you’re some paragon of virtue? Pick a fucking lane and stick to it.

Those are some broad brush strokes.

I’m not sure where you’re from but around my neck of the woods, this is NOT the case.

They might be using OpenStreetMap to populate their map. If that’s the case, you should consider updating the map yourself! I update OSM all the time when I go to new places or find discrepancies in the map vs. reality.

If you contribute something like 30 edits per month (sounds like a lot but if you start adding unmarked footpaths, roads or building footprints to the map you can hit 30 edits in a matter of minutes) you can get free OSMand Pro, a map app for Android. Every time I go on a trip I make sure to hit the edit threshold to grant me Pro access for the month. Lots of great features!

Now THAT’s a Qud story. 😆

You are 100% right but as you outlined below the phrasing is a bit off. My personal anecdote is that all of the above helped and is still helping me keep my head on straight. I’m not on meds yet but was diagnosed last year and although the above absolutely does help, it can only help so much.

I’ve hit my personal limit and its time for pharmaceutical help.

I’m so burnt out and jaded on AI that I don’t think I’ll ever use it for any reason ever. I just wish we could put the cat back in the bag. I know that will never happen.
