It’s busy but it looks similar to how I’ve been wanting to set up my home screen for ages. I have the standard grid right now but I took a look at some widgets and I’m having a vision of a brighter future lol. Redoing my home screen will be my self-care activity this weekend haha

I feel like there are kinder ways to express your opinion than to say “ew” about something someone made for themselves…

Psychologist, work in schools. I feel like I’m slightly more tech-inclined than my peers but idk

Yes please! There are a lot of posts that are upsetting (e.g., depressing, anxiety-inducing, etc.) and I don’t like having to scroll past them multiple times if I refresh the feed.

If we can’t have a word filter, I hope we could at least be able to hide posts

Yup, this is the reason.

are you upset about the phrase “yuck my yum” or them trashing your food, period? I mean both are mildly infuriating to me but I’m curious

edit: added much-needed comma.

Also, I’ve only ever heard this in the context of food (hence the “yum”) but I see it’s also used for other things? Which is awful, because “yum” should absolutely never refer to anything other than food

I hate how awful yet ubiquitous it is. Depending on your demographic, not having it can mean you miss out on a lot of pop culture and sort of get left behind.

I’m probably in the like 2nd most targeted demographic, so all my friends are on TT and all the trending things related to our hobbies are on there. I constantly feel left out because I’m missing 99% of the content. And it’s hard because I want to have dumb conversations about pop culture and hobbies with my friends, but I refuse to download it. It makes me so sad. It’s very isolating

If I get bored, I drop it. Maybe I miss out on some gems that ‘get good after the 7th chapter’ or whatever, but I’m not fussed

Could be the first chapter, ¾ through the book, halfway through a series… If I’m bored I’m out lol

I’m not great with math so please let me know if I’m understanding this right:

1. Company has 100 employees
2. All 100 employees quit
3. Company gets 100 new employees as replacement

= 100% turnover rate

Then…

4. Company has the 100 new employees
5. 50 of the new employees quit
6. Company gets 50 new employees as replacement

= 150% turnover rate

and so on?

how can you have a turnover rate over 100%?

might be android-specific, mine says 250mb for documents & data

Sort of tangentially related to this… Today I was telling my mom about something I bought and I mentioned the brand + a general description of the item. About an hour later, she showed me a screenshot of her Facebook feed with an ad for the exact brand and item even though she didn’t google it, etc. Makes me so uncomfortable. I’d feel a lot better if I knew specifically how they were getting the data so I could try to block it.

Ah it finally rolled out to me, I love the swipe gestures! Only additional requests with swipes is to be able to customize the actions, have haptic feedback, and toggle on/off.

I’d love to be able to short swipe to upvote + long swipe to downvote. I had it set up that way on Apollo for years and it would be such a big QOL thing for me lol. (example)

Some misc things:

• highlighted text shows cut/copy/paste but not replace, look up, translate, etc. (screenshots)
• text replacement is still wonky (screenshots)
• setting for text size throughout the entire app instead of just on posts/comments (example)
• tap very top of screen to scroll to top (edit: it works on the home feed but all pages)

I appreciate all the time + hard work everybody is putting into this :)

All good!

Perhaps that’s why they said

Zoomers overall

Also not sure what’s so inconsiderate about their comment. I feel like it’s pretty widely accepted that zoomers generally don’t have the same tech problem-solving skills that many gen x/y people do. No one’s claiming they’re dumb. It’s a byproduct of growing up with tech that has been designed for simplicity and ease of use.

Single game would be Skyrim, series would be Pokemon or Harvest Moon. I haven’t put a significant amount of time into a game or series in a loooooong time :/

Are you sure this isn’t just a CVS thing? It says the same thing for me and I know my insurance covers UTIs for everyone. Maybe try an urgent care?

i don’t know anything about linux tbh but i want yall to know i get the same weird enjoyment out of these that i did with trebuchetmemes and prequelmemes. like even if i don’t know what yall are talking about sometimes, i still feel your vibe

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who are continuing to stick with it + be supportive. I didn’t expect anything beyond the planned end of the blackout, although I didn’t expect thousands of subreddits to participate in that either. Either way I’ve basically cut Reddit out entirely. I used to scroll 2-3hrs a day and I’m down to maybe 10 minutes once or twice a week when I’m trying to find an answer to something. Attempting to fill my newfound free time has been… fun
