Ya it’s in the name. Google is synonymous with tracking and lack of privacy. Just another bit we give up to live in the most advanced and free country in the civilized world, governed by it’s its citizens and not a conglomerate of corporate overlords selling our minds by inches.

Yup.

Ah, I see you also have that’s Gboard

(I literally swiped “ghosts Gboard” twice to get the advice above. Oh look, it happened again)

Neat! Thank you ^_

Hey what’s the difference between Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Pixel Dungeon ML?

The “Oh no”'s were particularly great

I felt ya. If it isn’t misspelling word it’s random capitalization in you’re post. Gboard used to just work. Now it mostly sucks

(For the record: *feel *words, *your)

Same. I have had particularly poor results on image searches from duckduckgo. It’s on par or superior to Google for general web searches, but man, Google image search is still better

TBH I didn’t feel that strongly, but I could not resist channeling BLM

That analogy works for many things these days

Yes, that’s another! Love it

Completely unrelated, my favorite moment in learning non-American English expressions was discovering that an international version of “banana hammock” is “budgie pocket”

My institutional memories prevent me from buying Sony

When the PS4 came out and my old friends were clamoring over it i thought, “In 2003, we swore ‘never again’. In 2013, we broke that promise.”

But i NEVER DID

member digital cameras being 4 megapixel and that was amazing?

member Nokias being bullet proof?

member Nextel push to talk?

member downloading albums on limewire using the coffee shop’s Wi-Fi across the street, cobbling together a Can-tenna using a coke can cut up with a utility knife for a better signal?

member waiting for Penny Arcade to load like one line at a time because everyone was using the free Wi-Fi from the coffee shop?

member file sharing using mp3 discs with everyone on your floor?

Dude I went straight back to J&R on Park Row and returned that thing. I had SD cards from my camera that I planned to use, and didn’t ask about storage at the store (mistakes of youth lol). I eventually got a Zen (30Gb!) a year or two later. What a tank!

And it wasn’t a proprietary storage card? They didn’t invent their own headphone jack that only works with Sony headphones? Amazing. It’s like a whole new company!

If you can’t tell, I’m still salty about aaaaaallllllllllllllllll the shit they pulled in the 90s/00s. Nothing like buying an mp3 player with money I should’ve been spending more responsibly and then learning I could only use Sony brand storage cards. Cards that cost twice as much for the same storage space. I bought my Xbox and dropped PlayStation solely because of those shenanigans.

If, in twenty years, HP makes the only computer that doesn’t give you literal AIDS I still won’t buy one. And i feel the same about Sony today

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ dunno how it’s coded but i figured the pictures could help clarify. It’s probably part of the reason you see some on here complain about ads on linked websites. I will say that it makes me appreciate FF and UBO even more. The current state of the Web is pretty shite

Pictures are better than words

Amazing, thank you

It’s the plane number

The number of falsified reports is much higher
