Top one is pine, bottom one looks like oak?

Not even the same timber if so. Pine is softwood Oak is hardwood.

I have a weird switcheroo situation. My family came across no worries but my friend group, nobody switched.

I deleted all the meta bullshit a while back and went 100% signal, let everyone know where they could reach me and so far 1 person has contacted me via signal (in about 6 months). Feels kind of shit tbh.

Still cant understand why people stay on those platforms full of ads and horrible UI when soooo much better alternatives are out there.

Just in case no one has said it, Pixelfed

It is a painful road to get people to use even signal.

I basically gave ultimatums that:

A) I will only be contactable via signal / sms / call / email (signal obviously being the easiest option)

B) I would only send pics of my kid over signal

Family changed straight away because they wanted to see pics of kid.

A couple friends changed to signal but never really used it. Then after trying to organise an event over email they conceded that it would be easier on signal, while giving me shit for it, then admitting after using it that its good, while still giving me shit for it.

Blows my mind that these people will download a random spyware riddled fast food app for a chance at a free chips but then when its one of the most useful, reputable and secure communication apps you can get its "I dont want to have so many random apps on my phone"

Make it make sense please.

Curious as to your situation?

Not calling it out is akin to not calling out anything else unethical.

See a parent hitting their child? Shut up and move along.

AI data center being built in your neighbourhood? SHUT UP, JUST DONT USE IT.

Someone littering on your street? Stop whinging, just ignore it and it will eventually blow in to the ocean - all good!

If no one speaks up, then it just gets worse. Protest is fundamental to pushing back against the horse shit that corpos try and push down our throats every day. Someone less informed may take the lack of negative comments towards AI slop as it being OK and normal when it clearly isnt, therefore adding to the problem.

Hard disagree with your opinion and I think it comes across as corpo cuckery so you get an upvote I guess.

Fuck pokies, they've destroyed what pubs once were.

This reads like my childhood internal monologue, thank you for the walk down memory lane.

You only ever get to play OSRS innocently / for the first time once.

This is definitely an unpopular opinion.

I tend to listen to music for how it feels, not just how it sounds, and if I even suspect a track is AI made I feel like someones trying to shovel dog shit into my mouth.

I guess you could equate it to you eating food just for the taste, but I eat food for the taste, smell and nutritional value.

Throwing cigarette butts on the ground.

That made me angry

How is the power wired exactly? It looks like youve piggy backed off each cable before it, meaning the first cable is carrying the load from all after it which it usually isnt designed to do, should be fine if appropriately rated to the equipment.

Looks mint!

Yes. Once you see the shit you get off your tongue you can never return to before.

One response I got was "Im not installing one of your dodgy apps"

This came from someone who knows I self host and am big on security / privacy.

Only logic I can pull from that is they are corpo pilled into thinking good/secure things cant exist without a megacorp and a cost attached to them? I dont know it took me by surprise and genuinely pissed me off for a good few minutes.

I feel like this is the worst piece of advice to ask for in the worst place to ask it.

How about you just sit down and have a meal without trying to manipulate or 1 up someone for fuck sake

I use Symfonium to do the same thing.

My rating system is a bit loosey goosey because its hard and tedious to catagorise music into more that 5 levels. Its mostly defined by how much/often I would listen to a song because that seems like a good base line.

Songs sonetimes get upgraded / downgraded on the fly and then siphon in / out to the respective playlists.

• 5 star: high energy, 99% wont skip, will listen to hundreds of times again
• 4 star: any energy just a good song, will listen to many times again
• 3 star: indifferent, might be a hit on the right day in the right mood, wouldnt listen to more than once a week
• 2 star: not for me, can understand why others might like it, wont make it in to any of my playlists
• 1 star: absolutely fucking not, mark for deletion (hyper commercial pop like the overplayed shit through the 2010s mostly fills this category)

Its hard for people to give advice if you arent honest with them or yourself.

This doesnt classify as sober from my understanding. You say 3 years sober then 3 weeks ago then last night... your story isnt passing the stink test so far mate.

So when the shit for brains nazi starts driving off at the end and actually does almost run over someone... Im assuming that someone had cause to unload a full clip through the windshield if they had a gun and get away with it, right? Right??

The person who put it there takes it down
