  • Oh, I’ve looked back. It’s hard not to rubberneck at such a horrendous train wreck. Especially when I was just a passenger on that very train.

    I left reddit during the great API massacre as well, then I went back to only be taken out by the great Trump massacre of '24 where they banned a huge chuck of the community that had any anti-trump sentiments in their profile history…because Trump threatened them.

    Now I have been banned 6 more times, just by AI detecting language it doesn’t like and its catalogue of dislike only continues to grow.

    They pretend that humans are reviewing ban appeals, it is clear that they are not. The AI is banning more people than they could possibly keep up with. Now, more often than not, there is no reply to ban appeals whatsoever.

    Spez is a spineless coward who threw the reddit community overboard a long time ago and continues to do so whenever it suits him. Reddit exists only to shit money for him now.

    It has been left twisted and corrupted in favor of the conquest for money and controlling public opinion

    I’ll be back to fight the good fight just as soon as I can create a new account and switch VPNs







  • Same, I’ve always been android and windows and heavily anti-apple

    It’s like people have completely forgotten what Apple was like before the iPhone

    I don’t know if I’ve ever really been pro-Microsoft, they had just been what gave me the freedom to get the job done. I even had a Windows CE phone back in the day, because it worked.

    When Microsoft started monetizing every little thing and became outright hostile with its users is when I made the switch to Linux, the learning curve was steep but it didn’t take very long to get a handle on it

    Early on I think I made the mistake of trying to hurry to get a windows experience out of Linux when I should have started where I started with Microsoft, at the command prompt

    I used DOS for a long time before Windows 3.1 was even on the scene. Thinking back, even when I was using Windows at first, I was always finding myself bringing up a command prompt to do things.

    Linux brings back some of that nostalgia, but it is so incredibly more capable and customizable than windows


  • I don’t have Gemini loaded to my phone and I have Google assistant voice command disabled

    But a few days ago I was having a conversation with my son next to me on the couch with my phone sitting on the arm of the couch.

    When I asked him a question, gemini answered with a prompt on the screen I have never seen before and haven’t since.

    It still creeps me out

    I looked up what the prompt for gemini is supposed to lol like and this looked nothing like that. It looked more like a popup dialogue box from a browser but the only browser I use is opera and it is set as default
