  • Fun Fact:

    1955 is how long we've officially existed, originally under the name "hyperkinetic reaction of childhood". 😅

    Definitely long enough to rub in the faces of the no one had ADHD in my day crowd, which is what's important.

  • Chicago Sun-Times Prints AI-Generated Summer Reading List With Books That Don't Exist

  • Makes sense that it's paywalled, how else would they pay for such good journalists and editors? 👍

  • The media seems so confused, when it's so simple. People are being disappeared.

    One of the cases – was it Mahmoud Khalil? – where they took issue with someone wearing a hoodie and disappeared them, I saw news sites saying, "This just isn't how we do things in this country! He deserves due process and a fair trial!"

    So… you think putting someone on trial for wearing a hoodie is any less insane? Feels like you've sort of missed the point, BUT OKAY 👍

  • Deal with EU will make food cheaper and add £9bn to UK economy, says No 10

  • Very pleased, but very worried this is another weapon in Farage's bum-bag of horrors.

    It's not like "the elites have undone Brexit!" has to be true to be effective. It just has to activate the braindead "i just want are sovrinty back" subset of voters who fucked us all over in the first place. 😬

  • Petition to legally enshrine the right of adults to physically transition using NHS services

    Jump

  • I obviously agree with this – it's healthcare; no one should be denied the healthcare they need on the NHS. But I worry the NHS gender identity clinics are already so broken, unfit for purpose, underfunded, and just unrelentingly dogshit that this probably doesn't go far enough. (Everyone should watch Abigail Thorne's amazing video about this.)

    I see the government responded saying, "people already have the right to care that meets their needs", but that doesn't address the fact it already doesn't.

    Not that I know what to suggest instead, this is just me feeling defeated. 🤷‍♂️

  • Nice! I wish we had more unusual phones like all the crazy dumb-phone designs in the 2000s. I always wanted an LG Wing for exactly this reason.

  • What's the best psychology trick you know?

    Jump

  • A good retail one: don't say "sorry for your wait." Say "thank you for waiting" or "thank you for being so patient".

    Something to do with... it makes people feel good about themselves if they think they've done something for you, which in turn makes them more likely to keep being patient.

  • Trump taps 'Apprentice' producer, Mark Burnett, as special envoy to the United Kingdom

    Jump

  • We didn't even need him for The Apprentice! I remember reading one of Burnett's biggest regrets is not being around to put his spin/style on our version of the show. As if it would've been nearly as successful. 😬

    Can anyone tell me if this is a 3G or a 3GS?

    Jump

  • Does it turn on? If it can record videos, it's a 3GS.

  • What's wrong with bluesky?

    Jump

  • Maybe it's ads. Maybe it's subscription fees.

    It's subscription fees. They've already announced it. It's literally on their blog, and they've talked about it in their Twitch (they didn't do a VoD so here's a link to a YouTube video) and Reddit Q&As.

    "In addition, we will begin developing a subscription model for features like higher quality video uploads or profile customizations like colors and avatar frames. Bluesky will always be free to use — we believe that information and conversation should be easily accessible, not locked down. We won’t uprank accounts simply because they’re subscribing to a paid tier."

    Maybe they just end up selling all your data off to their 1,000+ data broker partners.

    I don't really see how they could, seeing as pretty much everything (including Likes) is already public.

  • Google Photos removing ‘Memories’ from bottom bar, now called ‘Moments’

    Jump

  • Is it because all the AI editing tools mean your "photos" don't necessarily correlate with your "memories" any more? 😅

  • Samsung Baloney?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I'm afraid that was a scam, not Samsung.

    Samsung's policy updates will in open a full-screen, white view in the same style as the rest of their OS (similar to the visual appearance of the Galaxy Store settings), just so you can keep that in mind for next time. ✌️

  • Who are 2024's best phone case manufacturers?

    Jump

  • I love my Grip case. Love being able to occasionally reskin it to get a "new" case.

    Their subreddit gives the impression their build quality is shit, but I've noticed a lot of people with problems saying "I've only taken the case off a handful of times" or "I usually swap cases every few weeks, but I noticed..."

    Like, surely just put the case on the phone until it wears out? For protection? Rather than prising it off and being surprised when it loses its strength? I dunno, each to their own I guess. 😅

  • Google Pixel and other Android phones add 'Screen time reminders' to help you stop doomscrolling

  • I use Sure Men Invisible Ice Fresh. https://www.boots.com/sure-men-invisible-ice-fresh-antiperspirant-aerosol-200ml-10324663

    It's an antiperspirant and contains aluminium, but doesn't leave any gross powder or stickiness, and my bf and I never get stains on our clothes. (I have experienced all of those things with other antiperspirants, so I'm not some sort of weird edge case).

    Not trying to "um, actually" you, just wondering if you know what the difference is with this product. 😃
