- Comment on Can you easily communicate in your country (business/private life) without being involuntarily forced to use whatsapp? 1 year ago:
UK here. Most people I work with will have Signal or Telegram. However my kids and the parents groups and schools all use WhatsApp.
None of them could get their friends to switch from WhatsApp. Nobody gives a shit at all about Meta and their dodgy data practices. Convenience is king. “aLL mY frIEnDs aRE oN WHatSaPp!”
Super-frustrating and makes me feel pretty helpless tbh.

ya think?
- Comment on Make sure not to underestimate the brilliance of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' as it proves to be an exceptional movie! 1 year ago:
It was okay. I don’t mean this as a ‘review’, but I saw it a couple of months ago and I don’t really remember what the point of it was. The most interesting thing to me was the dude that played the husband was Short Round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Some of the humour was pretty cringe to be honest. I’m also a massive Michelle Yeoh fan, so that’s how I was coerced into watching it in the first place.

Great, now it will be even easier to post endlessly about it.
- Comment on A teachers union says it’s fed up with social media’s impact on students 1 year ago:
My kid’s school here in the UK banned them, but the kids all take them in anyways and the teachers don’t care.
I had banned YouTube in the house, but then the school started assigning homework to watch YouTube videos.
The dependence of our infrastructure on private social media companies is shocking and needs to be stopped immediately.
