As for what I'll be using this space for... Well, mainly I just like to vocalize my thoughts on my experiences. If you wanna learn from someone else's mistakes, you've come to the right place.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: If I'm ever forced to ID or face verify to use social media, I'll delete the app and never look back.
And you should too. Don't sacrifice your right to privacy for something so menial.

We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.
Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

If you want a song that goes into this topic, check out "Peace of Mind" by Boston. I love it so much.

The modern world is so obsessed with doing things as quickly as possible, while neglecting the drawbacks of doing so.
We forget that the journey is, more often than not, much more valuable than the ends.
Slow down. Take a breath. I know life seems short, but you have more time than you think.

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'
'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'
'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'
the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.
like. *hate* art. deeply.

Awww, it must be so hard to sit on your ass and type words to make something soulless as a Corporate entity. They really think their lives are made harder with the laziest tool possible.
McDonald's has released an AI-generated Christmas ad
The studio behind it says they 'hardly slept' for several weeks while writing AI prompts and refining the shots — 'AI didn't make this film. We did'

Best thing so far about having a custom OS on my phone is that my battery lasts WAAAY longer.
Not to mention much less tracking, or at least consensual tracking.

I'm begging any artists still using Twitter claiming it's integral to their work to just leave. It's been revealed the site works off a made up "credit score" from hell and punishes you for posting like a normal human being.
Abandon Twitter for good. It's time. It's been time.

Installed a custom ROM on my phone BC fuck google and T-Mobile.
The last main thing I need to do before finishing the setup is retrieve my old lock screen, which was a pic of my pet bunny and cat together.

Please keep putting pressure on PayPal. Stories like this are becoming more and more common. Artists don’t deserve to lose their source of income over payment processors being puritanical/anti-small business.
I'm devastated, if I don't find an alternative that works with argentinians I'm contemplating the worst, I can't do regular jobs, art was my job for around 15 years
I don't do nsfw even when people insist me to
my life was already crumbling and now I don't know what to do

My fitness has skyrocketed recently. Or maybe I'm just noticing it more.
Went back to do a certain exercise and I was able to do it without resting in the middle, and for a longer time.
My body wants to live.
