For a lot of marginalized people Twitter was a place to escape to and find like-minded people, I can see how it's hard to make a new place feel as homely. Most of us here left another site because we didn't agree with the leadership so it's a very biased group, "just do the same thing we did". Not everyone is in as privileged of a position though and it might be way harder for them to leave than you can imagine, especially if they're addicted to it.

Whenever this meme pops up again I'm at least somewhat comforted this isn't the first year like this.

Seriously, I just want to disconnect my headphones to connect them to my PC. It's easier now to just turn them off and on again, hoping my PC is quicker with pairing.

Sports like boxing come to mind where 3rd place isn't fought for, it's just bronze for both losers of the semifinals.

So I've looked into the yearly stats and macOS stats and the fact that they call it OS X and the macOS version stats only go up to Catalina (the last 10.x, released in 2019) makes me believe most of these are macOS 11+ users.

I love the idea of it but I have to agree, it's just less repairable and causes even more e-waste. Smartphone advancement is at a point where we could easily be using the same device for at least 8 years, but not if they come with planned obsolescence as a feature.

Yeah, turns out it was an automated response to the account getting too many follows in a short time. There's enough genuinely bad things about the platform that we don't need to get mad at some speculation.

That is a great alternative to [email protected], I'll also feel less bad about accidentally hitting a real email.

As an additional note this rule is already included in either EasyList – Other Annoyances or AdGuard – Popup Overlays. I recommend just enabling either full category for a more usable internet.
