That’s a glowing recommendation of Signal. And a good reminder to donate. I’m doing it right now.

Celebrity/billionaire worship. Just no. It means their values are wildly erratic.

Originally I thought I could, but no. Because when I listen to the music, I’m giving that artist money, attention, and power.

That results in giving them a bigger platform to spew their bigoted opinions/actions is counterintuitive to my goals. I would rather not.

I’ve bought every single generation of an Apple Watch, and I returned it every time.

I wanted to love it so much, but I couldn’t.

It’s just a glorified notification system.

Anytime I got a notification on it, or wanted to use it for something, it was faster and far more convenient to just pull out my phone and do whatever I needed to.

The only thing I found it good for was controlling music from a distance, but that’s not an important use case for me and definitely not worth the price tag, plus the recurring data plan. It’s a money and attention hog, just like any other smartphone.

Serious question: why does everyone in silicon valley have a god complex?

Google ~likes to exploit~ you too

Fuck Google. Ruining the internet for profit.

Wait, what? A shitty Google product? Plagued by ads and spyware? No way!

As others have pointed out here, use Aurora Store or F-Droid.

In addition to uninstalling the client (RIF), you should poison your Reddit posts, and then delete your account.
