  • Bet you feel dumb for giving up on me now, huh?
  • Well that's one thing you don't learn about in boating school

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • Ope, ya beat me to it lol that's what I'm using also

  • Does Google Inserting Deceptively Placed Ads in the Play Store seem icky to anyone else?
  • Yeah I think it's pretty wack. If I search doordash then Uber eats will be the first result or if I search Uber eats then doordash will be the first result lol the ads are getting so extreme it pretty much evens out in the end and it's all completely pointless aside from making everything more annoying for the user

  • I don't think it will make enough of an impact for Alphabet to actually give a shit but I agree they're getting out of control with the ads and I think a handful of people will start looking for alternatives. I recently switched from Google to Kagi and I set up Firefox to redirect all YouTube links to Piped lol I think a lot of people are already trying to find alternatives to Google products due to general enshittification but they're so big I don't really see it hurting them in any significant way. I would love to see something actually compete with YouTube though tbh. I personally try to use non Google alternatives whenever possible these days

  • Unsubscribe means nothing to them..
  • I worked in sales at a honda dealership for about six months. On slow days we had to sit there making cold calls and blasting out texts and emails and I remember the first week after training they gave me like 1600 "dormant leads" which were essentially people who were rejected from finance companies the last time they were at the dealership or people who already flipped out about getting all the calls and texts and literally even people who unsubscribed from all communications or were on the national do not call list. Hundreds of previous employees were on the dormant lists too just so the new guys had people to practice on. Car dealerships are so greasy

  • What piece of song lyric you can really relate to?
  • This line from Uncle John's Band by Grateful Dead is really simple and maybe kinda cheesy but it's given me motivation and kept me in check a few times:

    Well the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore. 'Cause when life looks like easy street there is danger at your door

  • One year-post acquisition, X traffic and monthly active users are in decline, report claims
  • Im pretty sure someone made the wayland.social mastodon instance for that exact purpose lol

  • Favorite Mastodon client
  • For android definitely moshidon! Stable version is material you and has a bunch of themes and extra features. Nightly version is updated frequently. Completely free and donation funded, it's the gold standard for mastodon apps imo

  • WordPress is federating now - what are your favorite blogs?
  • Actually I'm not sure, I know you can follow them on mastodon

  • WordPress is federating now - what are your favorite blogs?
  • Aw dang that makes sense. Like when you migrate servers on mastodon you can't import posts. Well at any rate it will be cool to see how it unfolds.

  • WordPress is federating now - what are your favorite blogs?

    When I used to blog 10+ years ago I had a killer list of WordPress blogs I followed but as time went on I sort of gave up on the whole blogging thing and forgot about most of them. Now that WP is part of the fediverse I'm curious, what are some of your favorites?

  • Glad to hear this! I had them blocked already

  • [Daily thread] How are you doing today?
  • Have to work 10 hours today but business is usually pretty dead on Thursdays and I just got Borderlands 3 on the ol' Switch last night so it should be an okay day ๐Ÿ˜Œ
