I think being intelligent gets you better jobs and more money sooo 🤷

I have to admit that I won’t be on good terms again with my sibling for a long while. They did some very distressing things this year that were a large contributor to my burnout. Never apologized for it, never tried to fix anything. I’m done with that tbh

Love that site, especially for just browsing categories!

I have never seen a situation where buying a phone from a carrier is worth it. Is buying the phone you want separately not an option for you?

My phone bill (unlimited calls/ 12GB mobile data) is 7€ a month. So even 89$ a month seems really extreme imo.

Not straight, and not a man, but I just think they’re neat! There really doesn’t need to be a “why” to attraction, sometimes your brain just sees something and goes “yes”

Yeah, that’s very valid! I’d like to think that the technology got safer in the past years, but honestly I don’t even wanna check and risk having to give up the coziness

I guess, but fire isn’t very healthy either I think

The electric heating pad I sleep on. I wouldn’t be surprised if some study finds that something about sleeping on wires would be kinda bad long-term. Maybe something about residual currents or the minimal magnetic field from the wires, idk

Pro tip: whenever a relative asks you to fix their computer, wipe everything and set up Linux for them. That’ll teach em.

I’ve recently been listening to this Audiobook about Internal Family System therapy. And I think it’s saying that most of these people are probably already living in your head 👍

If full-blown piracy is too scary, start by at least using grey-market streaming sites for watching movies and shows 👍 c/piracy has a good megathread for sites: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/movies-and-tv/

Do you have a proper Jig like this (Aliexpress link)? I find that just having that makes injecting much less of an inconvenience for me

That’s good to know! And just unlocking the bootloader doesn’t void the warranty on most phones, does it?

Are launchers reasonably fast nowadays? I think the last time I put one on my phone was around 2014 and I removed it very quickly because the slight lags and delays at every corner really annoyed me. I’ve never used iOS, but I guess I could get used to it if it means not having excessive lag when using it haha

Which of the two OS did you like more from a usability standpoint? :o

That’s interesting, thank you for the input! The mention of bank apps is really helpful, I didn’t realize before that not having my bank app would be a complete deal breaker for me.

Interesting, that’s good to know! Is iodéOS significantly better than eOS or just a marginal improvement? Getting it pre-installed seems to be about 100€ more expensive, I’m not sure if that’s worth it for me (and I’m unwilling to flash an OS myself)

It goes to the Desktop, when the Desktop is full I delete everything that looks unimportant 👍

There are some Lemmy clients where you can block specific keywords, communities and instances.

25 / F / Germany

I feel like there’s a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha
