Two quotes/ statements from a book named “The Midnight Library” ;
“If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail. Aim to be you. Aim to look and act and think like you. Aim to be the truest version of you. Embrace that you-ness. Endorse it. Love it. Work hard at it. And don’t give a second thought when people mock it or ridicule it. Most gossip is envy in disguise”.
“Never underestimate the big importance of small things”.
I wonder how people will show off all of the books they haven’t read, what with analogs going out of stye and all.
I don’t know whether this is sarcasm or not, can’t figure it out. But if isn’t, well, I suppose they won’t.
Reading is usually for oneself and not to show off, so I assume, people who purchase such a thing wouldn’t care about showing off.
I like reading normal books but, I currently prefer devices (I.E screens) because it’s easier to carry around, multiple books possible and less preying eyes “what are you reading”.
Yeah, I have. Back then I was active in a lot of political and semi-political communities, at first it was pretty decent and people were polite, debates with actual facts and links to trustable sources.
After a while though, people become more hostile, insulting and debated with emotions and zero facts. I just grew tired of it and wasn’t really active in any other community. So I left for 4-6 months.
Then one day got bored, decided to return to Lemmy but unsubscribed from every political community and I straight up blocked anyone who’s being a douche. I now stick a few communities (Piracy, gaming and books).
Apple has teased with making the iPhone-as-a-service, meaning you lease it instead of owning it.
I really like iPhones (more so iOS), especially with sideloading now.
But if leasing becomes norm and we can’t purchase it or get it through subscription of service (2 years with Vodafone and then the phone is yours kind of thing). I’ll just purchase an older Samsung. Then I’ll take the loss and struggle for a few months with the interface and all that.
Probably;
Unfortunately I don’t have knowledge about Android tweaks but I’m almost certain there is one.
Best is not to use the platform but if you do, then the best thing to do is; use a tweaked version.
One that removes the ads and gives more settings to tweak.
For iOS you can check EthMods Telegram channel and find the tweaked version and then install them through SideStore sideloading.
Yes, I hate it. I hate that it fills every image platform. It is not art at all.
It’s a fun toy thing and can make decent images but its not art and can never replace actual art. When you compare for example an anime art of someone who actually drew it and the AI image, the drawn art is 9 out of 10 times better.
It’s also petty pretty easy to spot whether an image is AI or drawn made.
And the Enshitification begins…?
Some people just prefer to do so, others cannot afford a VPN just yet. There’s always a reason.
For example; I usually torrent but due to just being graduated, no job yet and so no income. I’ll resort to streaming sites for now.
I quit watching after the movie when Paul Walker passed away. Tried to watch fast X (or whatever its name was) but quit immediately after the scene of “car jumps off a cliff, dude grabs a cable and gets to the other side”.
I miss the movies where it was actually about the cars, tuning and the people around it.
