Now I ain’t a Luddite, but it’s true that evolution has made our bodies expect a very particular type of food. And that food that our bodies have co-evolved around for a few dozen generations is definitely NOT something that can be grown in a lab.
Nah, it couldn’t be.
Google would never do anything just to stifle competition. /s
Ew.
Faaaaark, I hate how much this speaks to me
Indeed it has, thank you Binzy_Boi! Feel free to remove yourself from the moderator role or from the community if you so wish. Though I would welcome your staying behind for a bit even though, as you’ve said, your identity has evolved.
And on an unrelated note: Somehow it seems like I can’t react to your comments with an emoji. Just above, I was able to react to Sunshine’s comment without an issue 🤔
Not sure how to interpret “jacked” in this context. Is it good or bad? 🤔
I think you can only simplify things so much without making the entire thing pointless. As others have already said, install GrapheneOS yourself — it’s almost as easy as making an online purchase. And remember the phone is inherently a tracking device no matter what — especially if the cellular/radio stack is active.
I don’t think there’s any more shortcuts that can be taken if security and protection from surveillance are actually important.
Huh…I don’t seem to be able to react with an emoji for some reason. Putting it here as a comment:
👍🏼
My struggle is to not get bitter/angry at these situations. I have to keep reminding myself that there are about a billion other ways in which I am ignorant of things that are equally important. And that just a few years ago, I too, was completely on the big tech bandwagon (but only reluctantly so).
Your pain is so very relatable, pal 😢
I’d be happy to step up if no one else is interested!
Very insightful! Thank you for this comment @msage@programming.dev
CCI has always been a lethargic and toothless body.
Given the foreign policy implications of this move in the Trump era, and the potential for economic fallout domestically, I am speculating that Apple will be allowed to prevail in this matter in the end.
I support the proposal to defederate.
Thank you admins for your efforts, and also for soliciting this feedback before taking the proposed action!

Both are free (gratis) and open-source, so I think it should be okay for me to comment about them here.
Back before 7cups went to shit I used to volunteer there as a listener, taking chats from peers about their mental health.
A few lines into the chat I’d often get asked if I’m human. “Barely”, I’d think to myself, and then I’d reply with a simple “Yes”.
Sometimes the person would go on to request that I chat with them as a friend, and not as a professional. Which, of course, I’d struggle to accommodate as much as possible while simultaneously trying to explain that that’s just how I communicate 🫠
I posted a very similar question on here recently. I would have to say, for me, the biggest hurdle in finding a play partner would be just finding a group/scene where folks are somewhat likely to be open to dating. But of course as a demisexual this still excludes dating apps and other such scenarios more geared towards immediately quenching a thirst.
I like the general suggestion that was given on my post: Find fun things to do as a way of meeting people. It eases the pressure, and one is more likely to be open to connecting when already having fun 😀
Along similar lines, I must say how frustrating I find the fact that there are very few examples of narrative-driven, long-form pornography (like movies).
But I also realize that there is barely any market demand for something like that. eg. I don’t often watch porn, and I almost never buy movies 🤷🏻
Amazing news, thank you Shadow 💜
