I would also like to die on this hill.

Lemmings is dumb. Lamingtons is rad.

Later, the name hashtags, in American English this symbol #️⃣ was always best known as the pound key. It was also known as an Octothorpe.

The first time I learned of its American naming was the classic “pound quake 3 arena” audio clip from the #quake3arena IRC channel.

“Uhhhhhh pound quake 3 arena”
“… What the hell was that?”

… And my axe!

Edit: I said the funny line, updoots to the just please

I prefer to argue on the internet via my phone, which I can type pretty fast on thanks to the swipe to type

I’m the opposite… I rarely reply when I’m on my phone because swiping and tapping away at the touchscreen keyboard is so slow and inaccurate. I spend more time correcting swypos than I do writing I think.

Meanwhile on the desktop I can punch out a shining example of wit (or at least a spoonerism of that) at 100+ wpm at 100% accuracy.

Sent from my phone, slowly.

Pretty much never. Direct family only really.

Talking is for IRL, or actually urgent things. Everything else is a message or email.

Don’t ring me to discuss an email.

voice call

Yeah, nah

After reading the site, I’m still not entirely sure how to use it.

Is there a decent demo site somewhere? The examples they show are very simplistic

I can’t set a reminder.

I said “Hey Google, set a reminder to feed the dog at 9am tomorrow” and it seems to work fine?

The one in my hand with a silicon case feels fine. Camera bump is only obnoxiously noticeable when it’s naked.

Wow, I must have just snuck my install in…

Presumably this removal was accidental right?

It’s not, but it’s old Reddit with more attributes that prevent a transition to corporate Reddit so I’ll take it.

On the plus side, the more people who don’t use password managers the more chance us password manager users will remain not worth the effort.

It’s kinda like security through obscurity mixed with only having to be faster than the slowest person to outrun a lion.

I was talking about something mainstream from oneplus, realme, etc.

Aye, no true Chinese phone maker would be a piece of crap

Oh, right.

You could try an extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/cookiewhitelist/

Sadly that is not an option for firefox on android yet

Eh?

What’s the hype going to be about? All phones are just black rectangular prisms now. The camera will be a little better, the battery life a little better, the processor slightly faster… But there’s no huge leap in functionality and form factors aren’t taking risks any more.

It’s previous phone release + .1

Chinese manufacturers always look amazing on paper, but are terrible in reality.

Huge batteries that die faster than a Pixel with half the capacity, cameras with infinity megapixels that just end up taking huge terrible photos, software updates lololol, usually the tackiest theme overlaid so you get blue highlights on buttons with green backgrounds…

I’ve had way too many pieces of crap Xiaomi and Doogee and Ulefones over the years to ever go back after having a couple of Pixels.

I use to get a “trk special” at the local takeaway - they literally added it to their menu board because I got it so frequently and other people who heard also got it.

It was three pieces of bread, all the salads (tomato, lettuce, carrot, onion, cucumber, beetroot) and aioli sauce on the bottom, then a spicy kebana sliced horizontally with a heap of pepper sauce and a slice of cheese on the top layer. Quick toast with butter so the outer slices gave a tiny bit of crisp and the cheese starts to sag and voila.

Another one they added to their menu board was the “xxxx trucks special” which was named after a local business. All the apprentices there used to buy this one because it was cheap and filling. It was a fresh toasted hotdog roll, with a sausage roll instead of a sausage, and a heap of butter and tomato sauce.

I report every mailing list email as spam, unless I specifically signed up for it.

So sick of, say, getting my car serviced… and next minute I’m getting email spam about deals on oil and air fresheners or something because deep down in the 14 pages of text they want you to accept while you’re standing at the counter is a pre-ticked box that says “allow us to spam you indefinitely?”. It’s not like I want to sign up for anything, but to get the oil changed on my Hyundai apparently I need an email address so they can send me confirmations of my appointment. Sounds legit… oh wait, actually its just an excuse to spam me about the new Kona.

We did a US trip last year and I was getting DAILY emails from Applebees because I put my email address in to get a copy of my receipt when I paid once. Who the heck wants DAILY spam about dinner ffs?

People who still use Twitter: why?
