I have darker skin color so I avoid cops like the plague. I was walking home at 1 am in the rain and a single cop drove up to me and asked me where I was going and I wanted a lift, I picked a random apartment complex and said that’s my home and just pretended to go in there till he drove away

This was peak internet, take me back

And how does a higher quality make any difference here. If you’re so concerned about the quality of “meme” posts on Lemmy, maybe you should introspect on what you are doing with your life

Yeah I mentioned it in my original comment, nice movies

I’ve had people in cars shout at me as they pass by and I’ve had a cop drive up to me and ask me where I’m headed, dependes from location to location, but walking is just seen as an odd activity in this country for some reason lol

Yeah separating commercial and residential zones so much creates such dead zones, and a huge car dependency. Where I grew up everything I needed was in walking distance, from the optometrist to the bodega, never needed a car and my neighborhood felt so lively.

There’s something deeply unsettling about American suburbs, rows of identical houses, and not a human being in sight, no noises, just this artifical maze, my Uber took a detour though one once and I looked up from my phone and saw that I didn’t realize where I am and it all looked so identical it was disorienting and I freaked out a bit, had to open Google maps to realize where I was. The movie Vivarium captures this feeling well. Why don’t y’all get out and go for a walk and talk to your neighbors.

Because all of these “news” websites are infested with annoying Ads that make it frustrating to read and most articles are only actually worth a paragraph worth of actual useful information and the rest is fluff, added to lengthen the article so that you have to scroll more and see more Ads. The above 4 lines is all I cared to know from the article

Since no one has posted the reason why this feature was blocked by apple in south Korea and I don’t want to read this article, I had Claud summarize it,

According to the petition, Apple said Find My was disabled “because of internal policy,” likely related to privacy concerns and South Korean law interpretations Applelnsider, though the exact reasons were never officially stated.

Enjoy it while it lasts

Yah I’ve been perma banned over what I don’t even know, and Reddit won’t even let me make another account, sadly there’s more users and specific subreddits there with relevant posts that I want to engage with but I can’t. I’m hoping this get worse and worse on reddit so that most of the current users jump ship to lemmy

This is something I’ve thought about but didn’t think there would be many companies interested in me enough to file a visa for me. But maybe it’s worth trying, which countries did you get companies that showed interest so far?, how far along did you get in the interview process?, are you actually considering accepting any offers and moving to another country right now?

I haven’t cared about stuff like that since I was 15

To anyone who does this, I’ve found browser extensions for both Chrome and Firefox called reading ruler or something like that, that will basically create a highlighted horizontal column wherever your mouse cursor is at, making it much easier to read text without having to manually select it

I can put a degoogled OS on an android phone to keep Google at bay, cause I bought and own the device. The iOS pros you mentioned are just apps, not even specifically tied to the OS itself, and most of them only work well within the apple ecosystem and purposefully don’t work at all or work poorly with non apple devices. Android has tons of apps that do the same thing, or even better and they work with every device and OS regardless of who made them. So far the only iOS specific things I liked are the dynamic island functionality, the custom focus modes with customizable home and lock screens, the activity usage locks and analytics, most of these I can replicate on Android as well when I move to it.

Yeah I’m ticking things of my list as well, just random stuff I always wanted to do but never had the time, in this regard getting back into a job actually feels kinda depressing, cause I know I’ll be back in the grind and not have any peace of mind in my free time to pursue the things that actually bring me joy, the amount of time of our life we throw away working vs how much actual impact that work makes is idiotic, we should be working to enjoy our lives not sacrificing our life to work.

What’s a pro of the iOS app based file system, it’s never not been an artificially created frustrating and limiting experience for me. I had to print a bunch of documents that were scattered across a couple of folders on my gDrive recently and I thought I’ll download them to my iPhone, move the necessary docs from the sub folders into a single folder that I’ll zip and send to the printing service email, the amount of frustration I had to deal with just to do something simple like that made me want to chuck my phone into a wall. Also one time I had to send a single pdf from my android phone to my sister’s iphone, in a place with no cell signal or wifi. and that to was a god awful experience, purposefully designed so by apple so people stick to only using airdrop and Icloud. I had to basically setup a file server + wifi Hotspot on my android phone to be able to transfer that one file and because it was an android I could actually do that in the first place. So many apps I used to use can’t work on iphones cause apple just won’t allow it.

The CEO’s Wit lol

Use a system indexer like Listary or Everything and you never have to worry about finding a file ever again, just type its name and it’ll be the first result

Pretty sure you’ve never used an Android, iPhone file managemt is locked down and dumbed down garbage, made so to make people more dependent on paying for and using the app store apps, without understanding the underlying system at all, and the primary reason I’m moving back to Android. Can’t let some shit tech company dictate how I use my own devices file system, or what apps I can and can’t install on it.
