So dumbing it down then? If privacy and security is built into your product and you’re not using people’s data for nefarious purposes its very easy to comply with.

Never been a fan tbh. Not having all chats encrypted by default always felt a bit sneaky.

I go for walks for exercise. Sometimes I encounter lone women in the woods etc and I’ll try and take another route to avoid walking behind them. I feel like announcing by whistling etc would just make things worse. It annoys me that we have to think about these things tbh. I’m gay for fucks sakes, ive got zero interest in women. Im just out and about minding my own damn business.

I have no idea what you’re talking about and I’m intrigued.

Tbh I think X has the market corned there.

Well played. Take my upvote.

This is kind of stating the obvious. Humans can write shit stories too.

Was on holiday a few years ago and came down with food poisoning a couple of hours before catching the flight home.

I was vomiting every 30 mins like clockwork. In the taxi to the airport, while queueing at the airport, on the flight, while heading home at the other side. Just awful. I’d never been that ill before or since.

Vomited subsided after the first day but couldn’t eat much for a couple of days after otherwise it was back to square one. Was heavily fatigued for about a week after.

I won’t say what country I was in or the specific dish I suspect made me ill, but I will say i think it was a chicken casserole-type dish I had 36hrs prior. Its served in a signature pot and the restaurant was busy. Having worked in kitchens in a former life I think they re-used the pot and leftovers from another customer and just topped it off. That or the chicken was bad.

Oh yeah for sure it’ll be an old fashioned normal watch. Ditched my smartwatch last year.

Well yeah. They’d care if it lead to impeachment or something though.

Absolutely hate cars with those stupid big screens on the console. Give me buttons and knobs any day.

I loved minidisc. It was just too late to the game with mp3s hot on its heels.

I know, crazy right? The thing must be 20 years old now. Shows how versatile it is.

Yep. And it doesn’t need to be charged every night like apple watch or similar.

Am looking for a new one if you have any recommendations.

Projectors that use actual acetates? Wow.

Came to say this. Fax just refuses to die.

I was thinking they’d be the easiest to reconcile - Christianity is just Judaism with extra steps. Islam is very similar to Judaism even though no-one talks about it. Jesus exists in all three but they have different takes on him.

But there are different servers, similar to Lemmy?

Forgive my ignorance but i dont see mention of Bluesky? I beleive thats also fediverse?

Ive been on Reddit for 10 to 15 years. Its always been a strange place but ive never seen anything like what’s going on at the moment.

• weird rules (like ‘Luigi’) being applied system-wide without being communicated
• automated actions applied to individual users site-wide, like allowing them to engage but preventing them from creating posts anywhere
• over zealous mods. I’m assuming a lot of mods got sick of it and left over the last few years and those doing the work are under experienced. Or maybe just AI. Its possible.
• GPTs engaging in posts and comments for training
• agents from hostile governments agitating and spurring on political discussions that favour their agenda.

So yeah I’m giving up on it now, its just no fun anymore.
