You’re not going to want to hear this, but you’re being paranoid. And not in the good, self-preservation way, but in the bad, “everyone and everything is out to get me” kind of way.

I saw your comments about the wiring picture. It’s not an AI image, but you’re so convinced it is that you’re relying on other AI tools to try to prove your point, which is incorrect to begin with.

You’re seeing boogeymen.

These are still pretty popular today. Maybe not this particular model, but talking watches are still used by many blind people.

Huh, TIL. Thanks!

A Google Image search for eggplant seeds shows something much larger than what OP’s talking about.

For what it’s worth, the screen durability has gotten a lot better with recent phones. Some of the early models were way too easily damaged, but the current ones can withstand being treated like a normal phone.

That said, I still won’t buy one until the price comes down. I think it’s cool tech and I wouldn’t mind having it, but it’s nothing I need, especially not for the current prices.

~$3.50

That method isn’t without its own flaws.

I think we still rank pretty far behind even Lemmy Koopa in the search results.

Drop some Mentos in it.

The “Fediverse” (capital F) refers to the social media platforms utilizing ActivityPub, specifically. I don’t believe there’s any agreed-upon name for such a network on ATProto, since Bluesky is the only platform actively using it.

I’ve heard this before, but I never understood how people find this easier. It’s still the exact same maze, you just swap the “start” and “goal” labels.

Wake up babe, new cat color just dropped.

Just use the calendar on your phone. Set an event for a year from now titled “Go back and see if I was right” with a link to the comment in the description.

Food delivery scammers will often do this and blur out their whole street. That way, when they report to their Uber Eats that they never got their order, the support team can’t compare the driver’s delivery photo to anything and will usually refund the meal because of it.

This is my thought on it, too. I don’t disagree with any of the point OP is making, but I think a larger issue is people misusing ActivityPub platforms and trying to make them into something they’re not. It’s not meant to be a messenger, it’s not meant for privacy. Everything being public and transparent is part of the core design of the Fediverse. The idea of private groups/posts on the Fediverse seems counterintuitive to me.

Japan.

I think it’s fascinating. I don’t think it holds the same reverence as man-made art by any means, but I still find it impressive.

The word off is a zombie doing the Thriller.

That post is from 2021. Is there a more recent udpate?
