Every other company seems to charge for parental controls. It’s so stupid, I don’t need another fee just because I have a child in my life.
I wanted to degoogle, so I looked for a new router and ended up with an Asus.

The dispensers are still around, just all empty. So frustrating. I’m not worried about covid but I don’t want a cold or the flu either…being sick is not fun. Let me keep my hands clean!
I do not still wear a mask, but I really loved having my face covered when I went places during covid. I just felt free. I don’t know why as I don’t have a problem going anywhere or doing anything normally, but covering my face felt good (except on 100 degree days in summer).
Temu is different because they allow a seller to say I’ll make plastic dog shit toys by November 1. So it goes on sale in September and 100, 000 people order it. Now the company makes a single batch and knows exactly how many to make and what materials to buy. It’s smart. That’s why they want your friends involved because it lowers the price more to make more at once.
I’m not defending the company but it is a smart way and less costly and wasteful than making 100, 000 dog shit toys and selling 10, throwing the other 999,990 in the local river and writing it off on taxes.
I use Android, so Fedilab was the app I’m using.
I didn’t want my feed to be an endless stream of news or other languages. So first I joined a smaller server, with a topic I care about.
Then I followed a few journalists, and followed tags I care about like cycling, my hometown, tech news relevant to me, and TV shows.
Lastly after I had that base of content… I went looking for people. When someone posts something I like, I check their other posts… do I like those too? If he’s then I look at who they follow. Big accounts usually don’t follow a lot of others. This is endless but really gave me a consistent group of people who I care what they think and say.
Not easy but worth the time over the course of a week or two.
Also I watched the #followfriday tag where people lost accounts they follow and why.
Also, look at the top accounts lists that exist. Threads accounts have millions of followers so it’s a good bet it’ll be good.
I agree and started putting effort into Mastodon. It took a week or two of filtering and browsing to find users and content but I’ve definitely found a more engaging base of content to interact with that is nice.
I was an engaged redditor who switched 100% to Lemmy and I do not feel quite satisfied with the comments and content.
I’ll stick around, but I find myself on Mastodon and using Ground News more often.
Btw I have comments in my history of how frustrated I was about finding content on Mastodon, but suddenly it clicked after I spent a bunch of time on it. Not a raving endorsement but ultimately I do enjoy it.
Another side note, I was looking for some top users to follow and some have 10k followers, cool. Then I find some federated threads accounts with millions and realize how small we are in comparison. I know why, and I understand it, but it’s truth that small user bases have less ideas.
I understand your point and this poster didn’t excite me either, but Fury road had two famous people in it as well and I consider it iconic.
It may be just a copy cat movie… Or it may pull a performance from them both that surprises us.
I honestly just don’t know what to expect from either actor.
I have dogs and for the last ten years or so, owned indoor sneakers. I do not like slippers or sandals so I buy some running shoes or something, cheap ones, on sale. They last forever because it’s indoor only. I replace them when they get smelly.
I do not wear shoes that have been outside, in my place.
Works for me!
I’m a fan of Dune and this always made me laugh.
I don’t know that they deserve favorite because of what they are, they don’t even have much of a smell! But there is just something about them I love, and maybe it’s memories or how “wild” they look as they grow in bunches. It reminds me of wildflowers in a field.
Black-eyed Susan. They grow in big bunches and expand outward each year in a ring where the seeds fall. Just a simple flower that stands out in late summer in my area and lasts through fall. It’s low maintenance too.
I really tried, a few times and I just can’t make it exciting. I find it so boring to search for people and tags I wantto follow. That said, I wasn’t a huge Twitter user before, and i don’t have bluesky. I’m just hoping one day, mastodon clicks with me.
I want to like mastodon but I don’t want to do the leg work of finding accounts. I like the algorithm to some extent, I want help to find things.
I also have trouble deciding how to support the post. Liking doesn’t do anything and tooting or whatever puts it on my page. I don’t feel part of the community boosting topics I like.
I like voting things up and down.
Maybe I’m doing it wrong but I try and get instantly bored because I have to hunt for everything. I really tried.
It’s a commuter backpack, momentum 30. Has a front pocket to fit a bike helmet, I never use it for that but a big stretch pocket on the front is so useful.
Overall, it just always seems to fit everything I’m carrying with me to most places.
I’ve got a few other smaller travel bags too that I used to store computer accessories and toiletries when I travel.
Confirmed here too. I HATE my shark vac bot. So many reasons and I have two of them unfortunately, each with different problems.
My Garmin Fenix watch, it was during the first month of wearing it that I realized my life and fitness can be like a video game and I get badges and points for doing things. It drives me to move and even after 4 years, it still is making me motivated.
A nice wallet, I looked for a long time and ended up with a Trayvax wallet. I just love the damn thing, it’ll last me forever and it’s unique and functional. Each time I pull it out of my pocket, I appreciate it’s look and feel and form.
My osprey back pack. I’ve carried it to and from work, on boats, kayaks, walking, for camping and to my friends houses. It is just so functional and comfortable in a way that a less expensive one isn’t. It’s made to be comfortable AND hold things.
It says nothing about spyware, the article isn’t hyped up at all, and describes a token to track installations vs downloads.
"This data will allow us to correlate telemetry IDs with download tokens and Google Analytics IDs. This will allow us to track which installs result from which downloads to determine the answers to questions like, “Why do we see so many installs per day, but not that many downloads per day?”
Also there is an opt-out during installation.
I don’t even use Firefox, and I honestly am not attacking but your comment seemed very hyperbolic and with little detail.
You’re right that it’s good to be aware of this stuff, I also don’t see this being a road block for the average user.
