I think US tax department explicitly states that you must state any income you obtained through illegal means in your tax returns.

Hate to be pedantic. But it’s “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so”

That feels wrong! Also what’s the scale of the banana in your picture? 2 bananas?

If you worry that you may be a psychopath, you’re not one!

You’d have framed this question differently. You’d be putting the blame on the other person

“Why is he/she stupid enough to think I’m gaslighting? Can’t they grow up?”

This seems to imply that you need a fork of Android, if you’re to build a messaging app that uses RCS.

But my understanding is what you really need is essentially an RCS server.

What I’ve often found is that even seemingly harmless addictive behaviours leave lasting impressions on my personality. My two addictions I’m trying to quit are porn and nicotine gums.

Porn was just taking up too much of my time and energy. Especially since I was working from home. I’d be in meetings with my camera and mic off browsing some weird nsfw on reddit. Stopped cold turkey and it feels amazing tbh

Nicotine gums stay on for now. This is one addiction which has actually provided me an unintended benefit. My jawline improved drastically over a year! But I hope one day I can be comfortable sitting with myself idle not wanting to compulsively do anything!

You joke. That’s not what I meant and if Apple did make an app it wouldn’t be Open Source.

But Apple does contribute to Open Source. They collaborated with KDE back when Microsoft was making fun of Linux

One amazing RSS app I recommend to all Apple users is NetNewsWire. It’s Open Source and works very well. If Apple ever built an RSS reader, it’d be like this. It uses iCloud to sync between devices.

Lets you use a reader mode where it fetches readable content from the URL instead of just reading from the xml file.

And is very simple. If you use something like Feedly, it also works very well as a client for such services. I started using it like that, later just started using iCloud instead of Feedly

it’s part of their anti-adblock code. without going into too much details, they can instantly find out whether ad-block is trying to do anything on chrome, but on firefox they need a 5 sec delay

I use iMessage to text my close friends. But I live in a country where WhatsApp is a verb.

So I do end up using WhatsApp and in my experience, it’s already riddled with

I don’t see how it can be any worse tbh. Instagram ads are way better imo.

Their iOS app is equally shit as well as

I don’t know if Android users in here understand how flawless this works on iOS+mac. All I need to activate this is have my phone nearby and turn my locked phone to landscape mode. No need to even unlock my phone or connect it to my laptop.

I was blown away by how “automatic” it felt!

It used to be very common in Tamil Nadu for an uncle to marry his niece. So common that the word for uncle (mama) can be used interchangeably with groom

I’ve been on Internet too long that I still don’t know which side you stand on. And that’s exactly the issue.

This is a very complicated problem. Not as straightforward as either side thinks.

Heavily politicised issue though. Imo, the whole trans issue should’ve never been politicised.

what do you mean? mini was released alongside all other iPhone 12s

it’s up to them tbh. Things like Lemmy are ultimately ways to build your own forums. Whether they want to be part of the federation or keep it hidden is their choice. But I guess there’d be some way to build a browser extension to figure out if the website is using any popular fediverse platforms (mastodon, lemmy, etc.)

To be fair, the founder of the business, Byju, used to be a very ordinary school teacher and then he built this whole thing. Not family-owned, nor born rich.

Fuck their business practices though

Hmm. Not really tbh. As long as it doesn’t inject ads on to the web page (like Edge did to Download Chrome page) I’m fine.

Oh I want my web browser to do exactly one thing. Reasonably parse HTML, JS and CSS of the websites I visit
