Yeah I’ve never seen insta used for group chats, but it is a commonly used app so I see their reasoning of “let’s just use the app that almost all of us already have set up”

Normal people don’t care that much about privacy for a group chat between their room mates. They’re not and they shouldn’t have to go out of their way to fulfill your request for a privacy based platform for a single group chat.

lol cope and be normal I guess? I understand insta isn’t great with privacy but it’s a group chat for your room mates. Make a burner account instead of forcing all of them to download some app they’ve never heard of for one group chat with people they are forced to be acquaintances with.

They’re likely all thinking you’re the odd man out because you’re making a fuss over a group chat.

I mean I understand why people do it, but it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t suck and doesn’t make work just a little less tolerable for those having to deal with it.

Have you worked manual labor in a mask in the summer?

Honestly I’m sad for everyone that works manual labor. Wearing a mask absolutely lowers the chance of both transmitting covid and getting covid, but working in 90+ degree weather lifting heavy shit for 8 hours a day wearing a mask sucks. It gets moist as all hell and fogs your glasses.

Source: I unloaded trucks outside all day 5 days a week for the entire summer of 2020 and 2021.

Linux people will never admit that it’s like that though. I have a few friends on Linux and when we all boot a game to play, the windows users like me sit in the lobby waiting for my friends to trouble shoot why battlefield 1 isn’t launching on Linux, then they give up and just boot into windows and magically the game starts.

Personally I’m team human so…. Sorry bird

I feel so dumb. Does it say that in their website? When I went to their webpage there was a big underlines heading that said “no emulation”

Shame it doesn’t emulate honestly. It looks incredible but I don’t have physical carts.

Just a reminder for anyone that wants to check up on r/place without giving Reddit your money, there are tons and tons of twitch streams that show how r/place currently looks.

If you aren’t actively helping create the “fuck spez” check our r/place without giving Reddit traffic.

I mean i took a programming class and damn near failed it my first semester of college so hopefully that doesn’t disqualify me. I work in insurance for now.

I just switched over because Apollo was my favorite time killer, and I can’t stand the Reddit mobile app.

Just make sure you’re buying quality stamps. Wouldn’t want this to go the way of George’s fiancé from Seinfeld.

More realistically ruined the parts of the internet that those with money were able to create or buy. Large swaths of the internet (especially now with the fediverse) are decentralized or decentralizing so one rich assholes decisions has less of an impact on overall use and enjoyment of platforms.

Gonna have to downvote until you provide a source. As someone from Utah I’d be interested to read a fact checked article or even see the documents referring to this.

The United States is the wealthiest country in the history of the world and yet somehow manages to have more people doing slave labor (incarcerations for minor nonviolent crimes), more children starving, more violent crime, and more homelessness than almost any other modernized western nation. That’s not the sign of a system that works, and it doesn’t work because despite being wealthy as a group, individually Americans are divided into haves and have nots. Those that have HAVE EVERYTHING and do ANYTHING to maintain the status quo by tricking a lot of the have nots, statistically have nots like you, into believing this is the natural order of the world.

You are not a serf, you are not a slave, you are a human being deserving of a reasonable quality of life and so are the other 99% of Americans that are deprived of a respectful life because 1% of the people suck away wealth and vitality like vampires.

Is it illegal to burn bibles, Torahs, and other religious texts? If not I don’t see why any one religious belief should get a pass.

Yeah well when you let 10 people have all the money and resources that tends to happen.

I was right in the edge of Gen Z and Millennial and grew up being the family’s tech kid. It still astounds me now that my younger sisters don’t know how to even look for solutions. They just get me. Having moved out I get texts and calls sometimes. I’ve had to explain that using a computer is a skill that is learnable. I didn’t learn by going to someone else. I had to learn how to learn. That’s the skill we should be teaching kids. Not how to solve the problems, but how to FIND the solution to problems.
