When Windows started getting pre installed bloatware is around the time I made my full switch to Linux. When Samsung phones started doing the same, I switched away from them too. Srsly, I will become a luddite before I use any devices that force apps I don't want on me. It's abusive and shouldn't be legal.

I've tried so many things from squinting to covering parts of the picture to adjusting the light in my room. I know this dress is blue and black because I've seen it while not being over exposed. I just can't get my brain to recognize it any other way than gold and white in this picture.

I know it's hard for tech literate people to understand but choosing a server is daunting. Most people chose their email because it was linked to a service they were already familiar with like Google and Microsoft. There's no familiarity with the Lemmy or mastodon instances and there are so many of them that people who already have trouble learning new technologies get to deal with decision fatigue on top of that. People like what is familiar and having a service that mostly works the same is still very confusing for them.

As the youngest child in my family, I was most definitely not "The favorite" but I was able to get away with the most.

I don't know where this quote originated. I first heard it from my future SO and it goes something like this

"It is human nature to assume that once we have found the answer, we will find peace. Instead, one must find peace first, then the answer will come."

Elon has no chance. Zuck is going to unhinge his lizard jaw and absorb his nutrients as easily as his monthly Impala feeding.

It would be more accurate if they showed a picture of Russell M Nelson. I grew up Mormon and if you didn't pay your 10%, it didn't matter how little you made. You could be barred from taking the sacrament, participating in blessings, and prevented from going to the temple.
