Aren’t there privacy friendly OSes you can already install on your Google Pixel?

Kinda like Medium or WordPress (the .com variant). Gives you your own subdomain and lets you blog. Their policy is that they absolutely will not editorialise anything. It’s used by a lot of reputable good bloggers too

Personally found streaks to be very helpful. In fact, on the homescreen of my phone is a very popular IOS app called Streaks!

Maintaining streaks has helped me a lot in fitness, mindfulness and discipline in general.

Here’s one against Joe Biden: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_sexual_misconduct_allegation?wprov=sfti1

Ah. But according to the post we should’ve trusted her

Unfortunately…they can say the same thing about us. So we try to be fair and exercise a judicial system

They voted for what they believed to be in their best interest.

If this were the case, Republicans would easily find 30 women to lie against Kamala Harris or whoever the next Democratic candidate is

is this the one?

This is not as far fetched as it seems. China has been incredibly unhelpful with investigating the origins of COVID.

Never heard of this one tbh. The creator of homebrew was rejected at Google when he failed to implement a basic algorithm. The people interviewing him were using the software he wrote. But tbf, if you’re applying at Google they expect you to be able to invert a binary tree

That feels wrong! Also what’s the scale of the banana in your picture? 2 bananas?

What I’ve often found is that even seemingly harmless addictive behaviours leave lasting impressions on my personality. My two addictions I’m trying to quit are porn and nicotine gums.

Porn was just taking up too much of my time and energy. Especially since I was working from home. I’d be in meetings with my camera and mic off browsing some weird nsfw on reddit. Stopped cold turkey and it feels amazing tbh

Nicotine gums stay on for now. This is one addiction which has actually provided me an unintended benefit. My jawline improved drastically over a year! But I hope one day I can be comfortable sitting with myself idle not wanting to compulsively do anything!

You joke. That’s not what I meant and if Apple did make an app it wouldn’t be Open Source.

But Apple does contribute to Open Source. They collaborated with KDE back when Microsoft was making fun of Linux

One amazing RSS app I recommend to all Apple users is NetNewsWire. It’s Open Source and works very well. If Apple ever built an RSS reader, it’d be like this. It uses iCloud to sync between devices.

Lets you use a reader mode where it fetches readable content from the URL instead of just reading from the xml file.

And is very simple. If you use something like Feedly, it also works very well as a client for such services. I started using it like that, later just started using iCloud instead of Feedly

I use iMessage to text my close friends. But I live in a country where WhatsApp is a verb.

So I do end up using WhatsApp and in my experience, it’s already riddled with

I don’t see how it can be any worse tbh. Instagram ads are way better imo.

It used to be very common in Tamil Nadu for an uncle to marry his niece. So common that the word for uncle (mama) can be used interchangeably with groom

I’ve been on Internet too long that I still don’t know which side you stand on. And that’s exactly the issue.

This is a very complicated problem. Not as straightforward as either side thinks.

Heavily politicised issue though. Imo, the whole trans issue should’ve never been politicised.

Hmm. Not really tbh. As long as it doesn’t inject ads on to the web page (like Edge did to Download Chrome page) I’m fine.
