  • Meta Dating

    Jump

  • I think it’s a joke that they keep meeting women through dating apps but it only turns into friendship, at best. And the women keep claiming they have a friend who would be a good fit for them, but then that never materializes

    As if it’s failing at dating but with extra steps

  • As someone looking to dabble a small amount in investing, this sounds like it could be quite valuable information to share in the right spaces as it happens

  • Isn’t this the group whose leaders publicly stated “Germany was safer under Hitler,” then both invited and hosted Elon “Sieg Heil 2x” Musk at a campaign rally?

  • When has an extra cost extended warranty actually worked out for you?

  • I usually get AppleCare on my stuff since I’ve had great experiences with it. They cover accidental damage and replace the device for a small fee.

    Last time I needed it was 2021 when I messed up my iPad Pro during lockdown. Apple chat me online, ran a diagnostic, charged me only $100 and a new replacement was on my doorstep in 36 hours. A+ experience

  • This type of gross invasion should be illegal and land executives and developers in jail. Look at how Germany jailed VW executives and developers behind a massive emissions testing fraud incident. Enough is enough

  • How much do you donate to open source projects per month? How much time do you spend using their software? How does that compare to proprietary software / games?

  • This might be kinda long, not sure if it’s what you’re looking for. But here goes.

    For the last 20 years I have been largely in the Apple ecosystem and enjoy paying for good software whether closed or OSS. Started the career I have today thanks to the indie Apple software scene and the iPhone’s launch. I probably have more app licenses and subscriptions than your average person, I suspect largely for closed source apps (Things 3, Ivory for Mastodon, Affinity Photo/Designer suite, Procreate, Pixaki, etc.). I despise ads, so I also pay for things like Apple Music, YouTube Premium, and even Twitch Turbo because I use the hell out of YouTube (and Twitch to a lesser extent).

    I’m also a gamer and I’ve moved from Xbox, to PlayStation, and now 100% on PC, Steam, and Steam Deck. Have bought plenty of games, DLCs, and IAPs for stuff like cosmetics. I know, I’m the worst.

    Since I got serious on Mastodon in 2019, I have started seeking out OSS for certain things. I donate small amounts monthly to both the main Mastodon project and to the two instances I use (toot.cafe and mstdn.games). I just started donating a couple bucks monthly to the Lemmy.world Ko-Fi, which I believe supports their other projects (which I haven’t started using).

    Edit: I pay Masto $20/year and I think $1/month to each of the instances.

    While I have gotten angrier about the state of where tech and even Apple have started going, I’m not sure if a Linux PC and home-brewing my own kernels and writing all my own apps is anywhere in my future (yes, I know Steam Deck is Linux). I might be open to exploring a Linux PC eventually, but I’m also at a tricky point in my life where I need to find a new career path sooner than later, and tossing a full platform shift into the mix would, pragmatically, do more harm than good. But I have definitely started leaning more socialist in my politics and personal preferences for supporting communities and software. I’m donating where I can.

  • Elon Musk: It Is 'Outrageous' to 'Claim That I'm a Nazi'

  • Multiple times he has publicly defended a German political party that has a leader who has stated, and I quote: “Germany was safer under Adolf Hitler.” End quote.

    He personally flew out to attend a party from this, uh, ‘party.’

    Fuck Elon Musk and every single person who defends him in any way, shape, or form.

  • As I understand it, the protocol has the ability to decentralize built in. But the technical requirements are prohibitively high to the point only large businesses or corps could afford to do it. I also believe (someone correct me) the company hasn’t switched on the functionality yet.
