I switched to TIDAL. Same price, and they pay the artists better per stream.

This is the only thing stopping me from getting a Fairphone. 🥲 I want one so badly. Having it re-shipped might just be worth it if 5g is the only pain point… we’ll see.

The new Avatar, Way of the Water. It wasn’t the whole plot, but it was a big part of it.

There’s an explanation as to your ban on the post you linked. Mod makes it pretty clear it’s because of your attitude towards the mod team in discussion of the use of “female” to refer to a woman, not because of your use of the word itself.

As everyone else was saying, you’re leaving out context which makes it hard to be on your side in this. Leaving out important context like this just makes you look bad.

Or a bad actor hoping to draw in vulnerable folks online for their scams, like children.

More than one YouTube channel has been attacked by folks pretending to be them in the comments of their videos, scamming their viewers out of money. And no matter how obvious the scam seems, it always seems to catch a few people.

I also know scams will often intentionally use poor grammar or misspell simple things, because they want to catch the kind of person who would overlook those things, like the very naive or the very old, because they’re more likely to get money out of those groups.

Not saying botting on YouTube isn’t a thing, I just don’t think it’s as prevalent as one might initially think.

Ugh. Signal for me, as well. I love it, it was amazing, I was getting decent adoption across my friends and family… And then they removed SMS support and all that momentum got lost. It was the one thing I could leverage to get folks on board, and now it’s gone. Myself, one friend, and my father still use it despite the change. But I can’t get anyone to even look at it anymore.

r/assistance is a good starting place. There is also a subreddit dedicated to gofundme campaigns, r/GoFundMe. It may also be worth contacting the mods of r/Aww and r/Cats to see if they’ll allow the post. The worst they can do is say no.

The biggest thing is to make sure to carefully read the rules of any subreddit you may post on to ensure you aren’t breaking any of them. If there’s any ambiguity or concern, reach out to the mods with questions first.

Then you should probably say “I can’t use Reddit” and explain like you did here, rather than “I won’t use Reddit” and shutting down people just trying to help, which is what your previous reply amounts to. Not trying to antagonize you here, but if you are looking for help from strangers being able and willing to accurately explain your situation is important.

Now we can suggest solutions. Do you know anyone that would be willing to post to Reddit on your behalf? The only reason Reddit is coming across so strongly as a recommendation is because the website is still huge and there’s a large community of people who would be willing and able to help with this situation there.

Pie.

Jokes aside, a good carrot or spice cake takes the (heh) cake.

Well, that’s a very promising thing to hear for me right now, lol. Thank you!

I have to say my bad-to-good ratio is probably:

Pretty bad

Bad

Not good

Ok <- Neutral

Not bad

Pretty good

Good

Which I now realize is a little weird to have “ok” be neutral, with not bad/good on either side of it.

I’ve never given it more than a few minutes at a time, but I didn’t like it as compared to my 3rd party clients. Those are dead now, so… I just don’t browse Reddit. 🤷‍♂️

Indeed. I find the inverse to be true. It’s getting harder and harder to browse Reddit without being logged in, but Lemmy is no problem.

I have never heard the word used that way before. Thank you for the clarification.

I am… Really confused about your use of the word “incestuous” here. It may be that there’s, uh… Another context for the word that I am not aware of, but how is the lack of integration between FOSS alternatives and banking platforms… Incestuous?

Jetbrains IntelliJ is a big contender, but I get along just fine in other, FOSS IDEs. I prefer GIMP to Photoshop, actually, but that may just be a case where I learned photo manipulation on GIMP and didn’t touch Photoshop until far later.

My final answer has to be in image processing/photo editing software. CaptureOne Pro is leagues ahead of anything FOSS I’ve ever tried. DarkTable, RawTherapee, ART, none of it can come close to comparing right now. No matter how much time I give it, I just… Can never make the transition. Which sucks, because CaptureOne is not available on Linux and it’s pretty well impossible to get it running. 🥲

🫡 Glad to be of service, lol.

I knew a girl in high school who picked “Not All Bronies are Pedophiles” as the topic of her speech for our public speaking class. We also caught her reading hentai in class… “For the plot.”

Stereotypically speaking, stereotypes are bad. But some of them exist for a reason.

SmartLauncher, here! I love the way it categorizes my apps for me. I like to have a few frequently used apps on my homepage with everything else tucked neatly away in my app drawer… Unfortunately most other launchers I’ve used alphabetize your apps all together, which I hate. If I feel like playing a game but I’m not sure which one I swipe to my Games page and just peruse them, for example.
