Thanks for the heads up then. Won’t be bothering with this one.

I’ve been considering starting it. Why is it pissing you off?

I’d like to avoid starting it if it’s not worth it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Any recommendations for a good Android app that would ignore things like this?

I’m currently using the Bluesky app because the ones I tried didn’t want to auto open Bluesky links.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mississippi Age Verification Law⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
So, if I understand the whole Bluesky thing correctly, there are apps that don’t respect Bluesky’s limitations (like having to log in to view certain posts).

Would those apps skip this as well or is this an actual geo-block?

LTSC can be downloaded from here.

I use it myself. I refuse to use 11 and this version of 10 gives me a little extra time before I have to jump to Linux

It’s supported until 2032 or something, but will start having compatibility issues before that probably.

That actually makes perfect sense. The ketchup on the croissant must not be helping either.

The deathgrip. As if that croissant owes you money or something.

As terrifying as it is, I feel genuinely sad for these people that they got so attached to a piece of spicy autocorrect software.

Where are their friends and families? Are they so bad at socialising that they can’t meet new people? Are they just disgusting human beings that no one wants to associate with because society failed them?

This world is fucked in so many different ways.

That would be pretty cool. But I’m sure there’s either a good reason or a good excuse for it.

But they won’t be as colourful and fun, which sucks.

Yes. Gimme electronis that look like this any day.

These would be much more appropriate for your post.

Also, have a proper post title and question when you post there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Been using it with uBlock Origin in medium mode which breaks even more sites and I don’t have much trouble with broken sites.

For the occasional website that just refuses to work, I use Cromite.

This, of course, will depend on the sites you use as well so YMMV.

Probably couldn’t type fast if he tried. Would probably pay someone to do it for him just like he did with Path if Exile.

I agree.

But I had to suffer through the thought so now you do too.

Mastodon lets you follow and block hashtags. That’s how I got my feed going when I started.

Of course. I was thinking of Nostr or something for some reason.

Thanks for the reply.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey says his 'secure' new Bitchat app has not been tested for security⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
What was his Mastodon clone? I feel like his name sounds familiar, but I’m blanking on the app/website name now.

How about this one?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘American Dream’ is slipping away in these U.S. cities⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
In case you actually care to read it.

Full article copied and pasted.
For millions of Americans, the dream of homeownership is becoming increasingly elusive — and in California, the financial barrier is especially high. A new analysis of housing affordability reveals that the income needed to buy a typical home has soared to nearly $125,000 nationwide — far above the U.S. median household income of $77,719. In California’s most expensive cities, that figure is more than double, and in some cases, more than quadruple. In San Jose, home to the tech hubs of Silicon Valley, a household needs to earn $547,368 annually to afford a median-priced home, according to a joint analysis by ConsumerAffairs and the Urban Institute. In Los Angeles, where the median household income is $93,525, buyers must earn $318,103 to afford a home. Top 10 U.S. metro areas where residents need the highest incomes to afford a home (ConsumerAffairs): San Jose, CA – $547,368 San Francisco, CA – $386,359 Santa Cruz, CA – $377,260 Santa Maria, CA – $324,300 Los Angeles, CA – $318,103 San Diego, CA – $310,119 San Luis Obispo, CA – $293,793 Oxnard, CA – $292,252 Salinas, CA – $279,321 Honolulu, HI – $277,997 Experts say a combination of soaring home prices, high interest rates, and stagnant wage growth drives the affordability crisis. From 2012 to 2024, the typical monthly home payment, including mortgage, insurance, taxes and maintenance, nearly tripled from $1,091 to $2,889. That means a household now needs to earn $123,826 annually to stay within the recommended “28/36” budgeting rule, the study’s authors noted. “One of the biggest culprits for rising house prices is the lack of affordable housing supply,” said Katie Visalli, a research analyst at the Urban Institute. “Zoning restrictions and limited new construction have created a bottleneck that’s pushing prices higher and higher.” The affordability gap has widened dramatically since 2020. In just four years, the income needed to afford a home has jumped by nearly $57,000, an increase of more than 85%, the study found. Meanwhile, the share of homes affordable to a family earning $75,000 has plummeted to just 21%, down from 49% before the pandemic, according to the National Association of Realtors. For many renters, the biggest hurdle to becoming a homeowner remains the dreaded down payment, typically 3% to 20% of the sale price. Still, experts say the down payment is just the starting point. “If you’re getting ready to apply for a mortgage, you need to know exactly how much you can afford each month — not just the loan, but insurance, taxes, and maintenance,” Visalli said.

If emulation is an option you could play some classics on your phone if it helps.

Sorry for your situation. Hope the future looks better.

I was thinking similarly before opening this thread.

I lived there for a few years. It had good and bad just like any other place. And there are many things they claim and the people believe without questioning.
