  • I love that, thank you very much.

  • Kermit or nothing

  • The blackberries are ripening. I walked a friend's farm and picked a couple pints.

    The locusts are out and singing of an evening.

    The corn sweat has kicked in, it's muggy and smells like corn outside.

    Life's not bad when you ignore the stuff they want you to focus on.

  • Just when you think that site can't get any more enshittified

  • News @midwest.social

    Reddit in talks to use iris-scanning to verify users

  • You know what... I do use a VPN and adblock/anti tracking stuff. I'd never thought of that being the reason. Which I guess just goes to show how it defaults to "let's show this person tits and rage-bait, that'll likely keep them clicking."

    That would also explain why YouTube, which I have a paid sub for, always seems to show me stuff I'm interested in. Hahaha

  • Then why isn't it full of gardening and woodworking posts, cause that's literally all I seek out.

  • I do not look at porn, nazi bullshit, or any of the other crap assorted sites try to force on me. The "algorithm" just sends you what it thinks you want to see, or what the programmer does want you to see. It's isn't some ambivalent god that just blesses you with what you're already looking at.

  • I keep vaguely informed. But watching it 24/7 is unhealthy.

    Know what's going on, but don't obsess over it. Because, as you rightly state, there's nothing you can do about it anyway. Why get upset over stuff you can't control?

  • Bsky user here - I just want Twitter without Nazi bullshit.

  • The party of constitutionality and freedom. 🦅

  • I remember when Reddit actually had the balls to do something like this. They sold out years ago.

  • My kids use a plethora of short-form video apps, and they also read novels, in addition to hobbies like cooking, knitting, crocheting, mechanical work, etc.

    Maybe it's just your kids.

  • Man... Side with Trump, side with CEOs. This is one of those "Can't both teams lose" situations. Ha

  • Yes.

    Then there's us smart ones who see what's going on, but we're outnumbered by idiots.

  • Dragging myself out of my house to deal with this maddening existence called life, despite every fiber of my being telling me to stay home and avoid all you annoying flesh-bags that just do everything you can to irritate me.

    That and I read daily.

  • Yeah, but think of the profits when people have absolutely forgotten the original release and the movie can just be recast 30 years later and passed off as original.

  • OH MY GOD DUDES THERE'S SO MANY BOOBS

  • Does anyone have a script to make my HTML frames show up correctly? My images keep getting cut off.
