I don’t keep an ATM in my bedroom, unfortunately.
Only time I have cash for tipping is when I get tipped.
I was on reddit once, but now I’m not.
I’m also gk99@kbin.social and gk99@mastodon.world

People complain about them supposedly having DRM now or whatever but, to be frank, the fact that I can just click “print” and it actually prints makes it miles ahead by default. My printer actually functions now so I can’t say I have any regrets.
Yeah, Elon has this idea that he can make WeChat but for places outside of China. An app you’re effectively required to have as a means of communication, identification, payment, and whatever else, and he wants to call it “X.”
This is the 50s, I think it’d be pretty easy to draw a line from casual racism to white supremacists. A key difference this time is that it’s not just Germans led by one insane man, it’s instead a bunch of redneck prices and conspiracy theorists.
Fortunately, I hate videocalls and have no reason to use them, so if my friend videocalled me I’d ask what the fuck they were doing and immediately be suspicious.
Who needs lobbying when you can just collect blackmail data on politicians because they willingly install your app?
They really paid $8 million to reinvent something that already exists. Like I’m using it right now to talk shit about Bluesky.
In addition, even if the communities are built around the same content, not every instance is the same. I explicitly avoid lemmy.ml because I’ve seen them ban people for criticizing China’s government and discussing the genocide of the Uyghur people. As such, I appreciate having a lemmy.world variant of this community.
I’d argue reddit lost their identity days ago. Several iconic communities and features died with the API slaughter. Now it’s just another link aggregator without the things that made reddit unique.
Musk fired the PR team so it’s automated to respond that way
Sometimes I think about posting pictures of our cats in a cat subreddit, but that’s too much for me.
Literally just bought an all-in-one copier/scanner/color laser printer for $300 on the dot the other day from Brother directly, so no, it seems like there are plenty of reasonably-priced laser printers. I’ll take that over $30 every time I want to print something because the ink cart dried up.
To advertise. If your battery is at 17%, they’re gonna advertise a wireless charger. If you listen to headphones at max volume and are jumping up and down at a concert venue, they’re probably not gonna recommend you earplugs.
I’ve heard that Bing is a good alternate, even though its a Microsoft service.
It’s gotten a lot better recently, though sometimes I do still have to switch to Google to find stuff. I don’t care that much about my search engine privacy, so I mainly use this because Microsoft Rewards nets me giftcards and such just from searching.
But privacy-conscious people should stay the hell away.
Literally just logged in yesterday to request my data, downloaded it today and deactivated my account. Twitter is a joke.
Boost is so good I explicitly just made this account to use it in case kbin support isn’t planned. Can’t wait to pay for premium again and feel like nothing changed.
Considering this is a temporary measure, I imagine not. Lemmy.world has been under constant attacks as the #1 Lemmy instance and it’s not going to stop just because bots can’t get in automatically anymore.
