I tried to figure out Mastodon a few months ago. I’m with you.

Someone asked me to follow them on Mastodon. I couldn’t find them in the app. He sent me the direct link and it opened up a browser on my phone, refusing to recognize the app.

I finally added them directly from a browser by by remembering which server I was in, log into that, visiting their link again, adding them from my logged in server, and then it finally appeared in the app.

And if I’m dealing with thet level of monkeying around, how many others are? How the hell are we supposed to contribute and add content and find social circles when we’re fighting with the UI?

Lemmy seems to have figured out how to not make a sucky experience with multiple servers.

As an American, honestly just avoid those brands in general. Not because they’re American made, but many of them are already shit to begin with. Maybe it’s shrinkflation, or all the wacky chemicals, or the way they treat their workers.

So take this opportunity not only to be patriotic to your Canadian country, but to also improve your own standard of living and buying better quality foods.

Uh we are currently on Google Pixel 9.

Google Pixel 4 is kind of old. I am unfortunately a victim of the 4a battery.

My solution after 3 years was upgrade to pixel 5a, which was a free upgrade because I had that Google Fi bonus. Google 7 was out, but I didn’t care.

I mean I’m glad they’re still head accountable. But this is like finally giving people who hated Windows 7 a coupon?

We’ll call it FREEDOM FOOD. Please, pass the FREEDOM beef chow fun, and the AMERICAN Fortune cookies, and BALD EAGLE AR-15 green tea.

I watched a woman log into her email at a Best Buy laptop kiosk then walk away. I went over and logged her out.

The user is a moron. Lock your shit.

Those who need it the most. Imagine them just asking questions about what this Linux thing is to their friends.
