apps centered on polyamory tend to be far less hostile to its users. I assume it’s because a user getting one or two good relationships out of the app doesn’t lose them those users.

the emergency call and medical info were in that panel too and they’re hidden away in the pull down menu??? fucked up. thank God for energy ring because that battery icon is terrible too.

you’re probably right. isn’t that pretty much what they tried to do with cloud computing and storage?

yeah I’ve got nova and klwp and theyve isolated me from a lot of the bs but not all unfortunately.

edit: someone really hates nova huh? 😂

I’ve got the issue where secure folder keeps giving me notifications and if I try to go into it it just tells me I don’t have a sim card. comes back every day. otherwise the switch has just been miserable and I’m spending about half the time on my phone just trying to get everything back to normal (or at least the same level of functionality. thank God for nova and klwp or id be losing my mind.

I’ve been on the brink for a while but learning a whole new OS is going to be hard with a dissociative disorder. though I did just find out game compatibility is way better than I thought, so that’s one roadblock down.

im usually the most tech savvy of my friends and no one I know is already using it. That’s kind of the situation I assume most people are in. no one they know is using Linux and for whatever reason they don’t have the ability or time to learn it themselves.

I’m not sure I can give up helldivers at this point tho.

they retool for every single model anyway. there’s really no excuse

yeah we primarily watch on a Samsung TV through a PS5. I’m not seeing any alternatives for either device. I might be able to slap together a desktop from spare parts but I’m not sure I want to start maintaining a whole other computer.

Probably time to make a switch either way, what with them paywalling HDR and h.265

what’s with h265 that’s everyone’s acting like it’s some massive hurdle that you should have to pay to be able to use files with that encoding? that’s one of the things Plex has paywalled already and it’s becoming harder and harder to find good quality content that isn’t in that format.

this is a pretty decent take. very refreshing after watching the other conversation devolve into a slapfight.

or, you know, isn’t a cis dude and wants some representation that isn’t disgustingly fetishized.

yes. that also usually implies that said person is transitioning socially (name/pronouns/gender marker/presentation) and or medically (hormones).

one can certainly be a nonbinary amab and not do those things, but I wouldn’t consider them transfem, personally.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn ❤️

direction of transition is the easiest way to think about it imo. hrt femboys, binary trans women, nonbinary/GNC trans women would then all fall under the umbrella of “transfem”

the second one you describe are more delusions of hallucinations. intrusive thoughts are fairly harmless and pretty much every experiences them.

from my experience with some libertarian 2a people I’d agree with this. I was surprised how indifferent (good) they were about minorities and trans people considering how they vote. honestly having a pro-drug, pro-gun* platform would win a huge chunk of them. and both of those would also be good for oppressed minorities (imo).

actually sitting here thinking about it do we have any figures on how much tax money gets pumped into prison systems that rely on drug enforcement to fill? not to mention the military industrial complex. cuz I know leftists like to riff on libertarians about “I don’t understand how taxes work” but there’s a lot of tax money going to things I don’t agree with either.

*more like “sex positive” in the sense of education and safety and not shaming people who partake. not whatever the NRA is doing.

how is that a cope? doesn’t it make the comment more scathing? and idfk entirely possible someone made that up, just Google it, I got pictures and shit when I checked briefly before posting

wow that one actually made me nauseous.

fun fact, the “eye of the needle” isn’t referring to a needle. they’re small gaps in the big stone walls just big enough for a person to squeeze through but intentionally designed so that a camel cannot get in. he’s not even saying it’s metaphorically impossible he’s saying it’s literally impossible, and by design.
