Ah I haven’t checked in a while. Thanks foe correcting me! I need try using Blorp more often.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 1 day ago:
I think most of us using 3rd party apps are missing out on a lot of great piefed features that are available on the default UI. I personally use Thunder. I tried Interstellar but unfortunately don’t really like the UI (at least at its current state). Blorp is also supposed to be built with piefed in mind but it lacks even more UI customization (doesn’t even have compact view mode). I think we can just be patient that our apps will catch up eventually. Piefed is being developed so fast that I can understand 3rd party app devs have a hard time keeping up
- Comment on How do I deal with the outside world when I have germaphobia and don't really like outside? 2 days ago:
I’m a bit of a germaphobe as well. I bring a small bottle of isopropyl alcohol and tissue/wipes so I can do quick wipes of surfaces I’ll get in contact with for a significant period of time (i.e. restaurant seat/table, office desk, movie theater headrest if not wearing a hoodie, etc.).
I pull long door handles at the bottom because it’s the least likely to have been touched by lots of people or use my shoulder or foot to push open doors.
I keep hand sanitizer handy as well. I sometimes have to stop myself because I instinctively grab it out of my pocket after shaking someone’s hand, and I don’t want to look rude so will only sanitize out of sight.
I don’t feel paranoid at all because it’s routine to me and I can live my life normally without it being a hassle. Just take minor steps to make yourself feel a little more comfortable, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
- Comment on Google's mail system helpfully classified this notice of a class action settlement AGAINST GOOGLE as spam 4 days ago:
Yeah, class-action settlement emails always go straight to my spam folder because they do honestly look like spam/scams. A random email from a domain made specifically for the settlement, then links to forms that ask for personal information. It’s not surprising that it gets flagged as spam often.
- Comment on How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again? 4 days ago:
I write down dates as mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy depending on who I’m writing to, so it’s always been two numbers for me.

Ah yeah that’s the term I was trying convey. Thanks.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 51] 1 week ago:
In this specific case I think it’s more of a western thing. Most people in Asia outside of Japan would pronounce the “ze” in Reze as “zeh”, while Americans for example default to “zey”, pronounced like “okay” or “today”; so they say “Rey-Zey”. If you ask me or anyone from my home country to say it the way it’s spelled, we’ll say it as “Reh-zeh” and even roll the “r” exactly like how it’s pronounced in Japanese. We read the letter e as “eh” and not “ey”.
But that’s not even too bad. The worst ones I’ve heard are “Reez”, “Rez”, and “Ray-zuh”. lmao. And that’s after hearing it being said in the movie.

- Comment on Google's latest reason to give them $14/month: "Watch in faster playback speeds with Premium" 1 week ago:
It’s why there’s like a second or two of a delay before the video plays when I watch on a browser with uBO. The connection isn’t slow, they’re just purposely slowing it down.
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 51] 1 week ago:
Just wanted to say it’s mildly infuriating how people still can’t pronounce Reze (Chainsaw Man) correctly even AFTER seeing the movie. The characters literally say her name a couple of times throughout the film.

If you meant Buc-ee’s, they actually don’t allow semis on their parking lots, which basically means no truckers.

- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 3 weeks ago:
Good idea budget wise. Mullvad doesn’t require any information from you though, except your payment info. And even then, you can pay by cash or crypto if you really want to purchase anonymously.
- Comment on Proton launches privacy-first alternative to Excel and Google Sheets 3 weeks ago:
If you don’t need port-forwarding, Mullvad is the best choice IMO. Eggs in a basket as well, if you already use other Proton products but don’t want to lock yourself into one vendor for everything.
- Comment on OPSEC social media related question 3 weeks ago:
Check first what information is required to sign up again with a new account. Like the other commenter said, they might be asking for actual ID now just to sign up. In that case, just sell somewhere else. If you are able to sign up without providing any personal information, use facebook on a browser only. Firefox with uBO and facebook container. Use an email specifically made for that account and don’t use it anywhere else.

Sony and Netflix do. It’s not about how good or bad something is. If it gets viral/popular, they will milk it as much as they can.

I’m really missing out on some great piefed features just because I’m not using the official UI.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 3 weeks ago:
I mentioned this in another comment, but if in this case the phones are going to be officially issued by the military, then they likely have MDM on them. At that point, it doesn’t really matter anymore what OS you use, they will see everything. No backdoors needed. And it might actually be harder to break MDM monitoring on an iphone vs android, so both sides of the argument you’re in come out as correct.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 3 weeks ago:
If anything, MDM will be harder to break on a (non-jailbroken) iphone vs android. So it will technically be harder for someone to block any spying. So in that scenario, both sides of the argument you are in come out right. lol
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 3 weeks ago:
But the article is specifically saying they are forcing iphones because they are more locked down and less susceptible to compromise. And yes, we don’t know if they’re lying. However, the commenter just linked an unrelated article about celebrite’s claim about cracking an iphone. That doesn’t mean they are connected, and that doesn’t mean Android isn’t less compromisible. I’ve taken some device forensics classes albeit not as deep into smartphones like the person you’re arguing with, but I do think they have some merit with their argument.
