I just play Steam Deck and write about gaming + Linux a lot

  • As a girl who grew up with type 1 diabetes, seeing these tasteless jokes in here just remind me of the shitty time kids can have when they feel different to other kids and get singled out for something they can't control.

    So what if its a gigantic mega-corp, they're doing a good thing here for children.

    Disgusting fucking 'jokes'. Shitty people.

  • Oh, that's me!

    Thanks, Alk. I'm glad my little posts mean something to the general public here, I appreciate it!

  • And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.

    Look who's laughing now.

  • I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I'd learned my lesson at the time -__-

  • Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app

  • Easy fix:

    Buy a fitness/smart watch - an older one is fine, why go excessive

    Download GadgetBridge from F-Droid/Droidify and then use that instead of a proprietary app which is just harvesting your data and telemetry at every chance:

    • Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail
    • Stating that later this year they're going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit
    • That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back
    • Their A.I. answers integration
    • Censoring users who mention 'eat the rich' and the name Luigi
    • No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub's status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate

    ...who'd have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?

    Fuck you, Reddit

  • I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.

    But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)...with how they treated us and will continue to?

    My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I'm far happier here now.

  • I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.

    But now, since early December I'm done-done.

    My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I'm all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.

    Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.
