I use smart launcher. Have for probably 7 or 8 years. Never paid for it… Free version is perfectly functional. Pixel 6 pro.

I have six icons on my home screen, I love the double tap feature that can launch another app from those home screen apps. The app pages take no more than 3 buttons to find any app since it is sorted by letter or category.

It’s easy. I haven’t even really thought about using anything else.

Anything phpbb still makes me smile.

My college experience was similar. It ultimately led nowhere for me. I don’t have a single contact anymore from my college. I don’t work in the field my degree was in. It really only served to show me what I didn’t want in life in retrospect. While I still had some fun and enriching experiences, college was only the reason I was where those took place. I graduated almost 10 years ago. College was basically the next highschool for me which I look back and think was a waste of time. 10 years on, I barely remember anything I learned.

Life gets better after college. Don’t worry about it. Cheers pal.

I luckily divulged from FB messenger back in 2016. I use pulse sms on Android because I can text from a web browser. I realized I only used messenger because of the browser client. It’s not private sense sms but eh, it’s a pretty practical solution.

Hayden Panettiere, at the time I was an intern at a recording studio and lionsgate came in and filmed some studio scenes for the show Nashville at our place. Hayden walked in and was looking at this big fish tank that was by the front entry. I honestly had no idea who she was and started talked to her as she asked what type of fish our bright orange parrot fish was. After that she walked off to go get ready. I googled who was on the show later that night as I am totally aloof on anything on TV and actors/actresses in general didn’t realize till then I met her. She is really short, pretty and seemed nice.

Looking back my favorite part of that day was the craft food services truck(s) ulimited redbull and snacks. Also one of the camera guys I chatted up and learned he had done some work on Lord of the Rings, which I thought was really cool.

Agreed on the watches. I had one smart watch (moto 360) and while cool was very gimmicky for actual functionality and I personally believe that was one of the best looking smart watches. Also the notification reason. My phone is on silent unless my spouse is out somewhere.

Honestly, this was one of the few kitchen gadgets that seemingly lived up to hype for me. We use ours all the time, even though our oven has convection mode which is essentially the same. The oven takes so long to warm up… where as the “air fryer” is up to temp super quickly. For a small family, the air fryer is used way more. In general I am opposed to kitchen gadgets that are supposedly saving you time or effort versus the “old” way of doing things.

Yup. I begrudgingly began using wireless headphones beacuse I don’t want to have to carry around an adapter to not use them once they killed 3.5mm on phones… Granted I really only use headphones while working out or mowing the lawn or something so it’s whatever. Still hate having to worry about having charged headphones, turning on Bluetooth, figuring out if my headphones are off or ok because of the awkward button pushes to turn them off, on or get into connect mode. It’s just overly complicated.

Yeah, I see the same but the community sprawl was vast there in early June. There appears to be a pretty healthy base forming. Pruning dead communities does need to happen somehow though. A admin tool is gonna need to be likely.

There’s a reason everyone comes to my saloon…

This is what I got: Some are more active than others.

Liftoff for me has been fantastic… I was a RIF user…

If you’re on android… Liftoff is really solid.

Ironically, I agree and upvoted this.

Here here!

I’ve been here a month… Went back to reddit and made a throwaway just to update one community on a loose thread I needed to end up. Deleted my account of 12 years… It is absolutely a breath of fresh air here and now that apps are starting to come out (liftoff for android is great) and web add-ons its really becoming nice.

Pretty much. I feel like everything is out to track you and to try and sell you garbage products. And if your in the US you have no rights to tell these companies to remove your data. Unless your in California.

No doubt, I was watching the logs as I restarted the containers last night. What’s interesting is this all started because my instance just stopped responding after being up for (days or weeks). I’m not sure what to think of it to be honest. As of now everything is working fine, but those posts that I made during that period are gone from the feed if not sorted by Top. I can also see them on my profile. Weird stuff.

Here’s an Userscript that I’m working that has a slightly easier method, it provides a button on remote instances that sends you to the screen you can click to go to the community from your instance (so you dont have to manually type the !somecommunity@somewhere.ml) on your search.

It makes it slightly easier. Works on mobile and desktops in browser.
