Holy crap that newspaper’s site is a dumpster fire of popups and ads.

Utilize, when they mean Use.

I wish work profiles were more separate. My company’s work profile ended up locking me out of my phone (including the personal profile) and forced me to wipe and start over with it. They disabled fingerprint unlock and required my unlock password to change monthly, and I got the periodic “you have to change your password NOW” notice while plugged into my car with Android Auto. I couldn’t enter a new password and the phone never unlocked again.

I know, probably a super rare set of circumstances, but I’m not going to allow my work to root my phone again. They can buy me a phone if they need so much control.

Yes. Most people stop making more when they have enough.

People who don’t stop are already broken and corrupted. They have nothing better to do. No better idea. No other desire. Than to accumulate more. It’s degenerate, sad, to keep wanting more, to feel that hunger when it is already satiated. Like a rat addicted to cocaine, still pushing itself to push the button for more and more.

Thank you, that seems a lot more likely than either one of us being secretly adopted by our aunt and uncle.

23 and Me says my cousin is my sister…?

Phones ruined Burning Man. Their cameras make people tourists, and their onsite social media precludes immediacy.

Utilize. So many people misuse it that I should probably accept that the definition has changed. Instead of thinking they are a bit dumb.

I found HAM folks super welcoming. I came to take the entry level test and they encouraged me to take the next level one at the same time, and generously offered to help me pass it.

By time required before you can truly be in and accepted as one (not just a tourist)

• Rural folk
• Expedition sports
• Biker gangs
• Private pilots
• Some festivals

I’m sorry but I just don’t understand where you are at. I feel you are adopting this “I’m a very private person” label as an armor to close yourself off from a closer relationship with your family. I’m very much an introvert with my own internal world, and yet I feel people are probably the point of life. Relationships are not always comfortable, but I feel that discomfort is part of the fun-- to approach it with curiosity to see what happens and as a growth opportunity to see how you’ll practice communicating with the other person with openness and vulnerability. To me that’s way more fun and interesting than shutting down yourself and others with a priori rules.

Yes, the posts are absolutely huge and I’m unimpressed with the bot devs response-- dude I am not going to switch Lemmy apps to make your bot less annoying.
