I couldn’t decide which to pick lol so these are the four Bing gave me

If you use browser extensions like Ghostery and AdNauseam it’ll click on blocked ads in the background, essentially giving Google fake info. After I started using extensions like that my survey questions have been all over the place, and I’ll answer them in a way that feels potentially accurate but is actually 100% false and irrelevant to me lol. So I get money, falsify their info, and block ads and trackers all at the same time, it’s perfect!
I love that, Zabes has such cool girl energy lol
Not who you asked but I’m in the desert area of SoCal, it’s usually super dry (15-30% unless cloudy) and it’s been consistently over 100 for a few weeks now. One of the absolute best things about California is that it always cools off at night, down into to the low 60s most of the summer and 70s during the peak. It can be really hard to dress for sometimes, especially since the sun is so much hotter here than other states I’ve been to. 105 with a real feel higher than that during the day, maybe 62 with a breeze at night, that’s a huge temp variance lol. I appreciate it though, it could be like other places in the country and the world where it’s not getting below 80 at night.
The most humid places in Cali are also usually much cooler, due to being near the beach. But it kinda comes out in the wash depending on the day haha. Most of my knowledge is SoCal though, NorCal might be a lot different. California is massive, with tons of different climates, so it’s impossible to talk about it without being specific about locations.
Using Sync, which just released, you can filter instances you don’t wanna see. I did the same with lemmynsfw lol
I used Nova for years, but it felt increasingly outdated so I switched to Action Launcher. Then it too started to feel outdated after a few years so I switched to Smart Launcher, which I’ve been loving. I miss AL’s side drawer but SL has a lot to offer if you want something slick and simple, with custom widgets and layouts. I recommend you check it out!
Meh, while I totally get what you’re saying I think there’s something to be said about these stepping stones between dying closed source platforms and developing FOSS platforms. Especially since most content people are used to and want to engage with is on said platforms. Not everyone wants to jump onto new platforms with learning curves, but this is an in-between for the people gaining awareness.
That, and having a fundamental disagreement with the way a platform is run or what telemetry they harvest doesn’t mean I don’t like the content there. Social media has been a constant battle between the owners, the content creators, and the regular users. At the end of the day people use it for community and connection, even if venture capitalists are hell bent on destroying their product.
I completely agree with you friend. We’re not helpless - we can do things here and there and build skills - but we’re also just a tiny cog in a massive machine that doesn’t stop even if we do. It’s a weird thing, trying to do harm reduction and lifestyle changes (which I am too) while also knowing it doesn’t change much. There’s a friction, a cognitive dissonance, that I think is hard for most people paying attention and trying to be good people nowadays.
I do value truth and realism over tenuous hope though, so yes the more accurate the models the better. I just see so many different narratives about how we’re “supposed” to feel about climate change and I personally think that causes emotional stasis regarding activism. I know I certainly struggle with that.
I’m tired of hearing that optimism is dangerous.

Nothing matters and we’re all gonna die. That’s just how it is. Do your best, eat the rich, make some noise - or don’t and live a comfortable life while you still can.
Hearing narratives like this just leads to inaction. Nobody wants to act when they have no hope.
They shouldn’t be banned from wearing it, doesn’t matter if most people don’t wear them anymore. In fact, I’d argue that most people not wearing masks is a great reason why vulnerable people SHOULD wear masks, and now those who work in a place that’s banned them have to choose between their health and their job. People do give a fuck, just not you.
And? People get sick from other airborne illnesses too, no person or company should ever be able to prevent someone from doing something that protects their body from injury. Banning masks, bathroom breaks, water breaks, etc, it’s all the same shit fucking sandwhich
Ooh that’ll probably be really good too!!
I’ve never actually seen anything in 70mm IMAX, so idk! But I love the vibe of analog film and the way it looks, so to experience Nolan in the way he intended it at essentially 16k resolution is likely going to be incredible. Five hours is quite a lot though, especially to then watch a three hour movie. Maybe if you made a weekend out of it and stayed at a hotel or camped somewhere? I’m lucky that the closest one to me is only a 45 minute drive
I’m going to see it in 70mm on the 28th and I’m sooo fucking excited! I got center seats near the back too, it’s gonna be epic. I wish there were more 70mm IMAX theaters so more people could experience it but I understand why there aren’t lol
Untrue.

There’s different species that serve different purposes in the ecosystem.

All that being said, I can’t stand them lol
