That’s an overly simplistic take.

Over the years, ads have become louder, bigger, more intrusive, more voluminous, and alarmingly much more “personal”

I value my peace and my privacy.

I support creators with donations, subscriptions and purchases. If it’s an exclusively ad-supported service that does so respectfully and reasonably, I might whitelist it.

Everything else gets blocked. I use AdGuard and their extensions, and a VPN set to a Swiss geo helps with the rest.

That 🤑 emoji’s a bit on the nose though, isn’t it

Dracula’s here! Now I feel right at home.

…though the mentioned ability to write my own theme is reeeeally tempting

Also mostly happy with my iPhone 12 mini

My only real gripe with it is that I want a better camera.

I can sideload or mod enough with scripts to suit my purposes, so no issue as far as flexibility goes. But I want better quality photos and videos without having to lug out the “real” gear on a trail run.

Chaps my ass that phones just keep getting bigger, and the mini’s been all but phased out. I’m a small person with proportionately small hands. Why stop making phones we can fully fit in the back pocket of women’s jeans, or use with (mostly) one hand?

The lemmit or whatever bot was the first “user” I blocked here.

It might not have been bad if they’d stuck to news articles, but so much content is more personal in nature and it feels gross to see it botted.

I’m not going to give advice or empathize with a bot who basically just stole someone’s question or story. OP isn’t even here, they aren’t going to see our comments. Just feels like talking about someone behind their back.

One of the things I love about lemmy is how much of the content and conversation is actually authentic.

Those bot posts are spam and need to go away.

Someone did make goblincore, but it’s still pretty empty and I’m not creative enough to meaningfully contribute.

I loved looking through all the happily amateur mossy green nature pics, tiny ecoscapes & terrariums, all the mushrooms, frogs, and foresty crafts & creations from people much more talented than myself.

The issue isn’t that the rooms don’t exist in this house, but more that the smaller niche ones are still just a couple shy people early to the party, waiting for the extroverts to show up lol

Also Select a Set was a very cool little music themed sub that I enjoyed participating in.

Of all the places to come and spew garbage. It’s a room for discussing an app… like get a hobby, damn.

Memmy does support dynamic type, but yeah it’s a feature from apollo that I miss too.

IOS Settings » Accessibility » Display & Text Size » Larger Text

You can bump global text size up with the slider at the bottom of that screen without enabling the Larger Text toggle

I like my system font size to be on the smaller side though, so being able to customize by app is a big QOL upgrade

Dude you are absolutely killing it.

Do you sleep??

Memmy just keeps getting better. Thank you for all your hard work.

Yeah I think a lot of people equate education with overall intelligence, and that’s just not how it works.

I’ve personally known an anti-vaxxer with a PhD, MDs who wrote at a middling grade 8 level, and a literal rocket scientist who never could figure out his email lol

Highly educated people can be brilliant in their specific fields of study, while being absolute morons in other areas. They just had all the right opportunities, money, and the time/skills/ability to study, memorize, and pass tests.

I actually know at least a couple high school grads whom I’d consider more broadly intelligent than some of the MD & PhD holders I’ve worked with over the years.
