I saw them in a store recently and couldn’t resist buying it for that very reason. Is it actually useful or nice to write with? No. Do I regret buying it? Hell no.

If you wouldn’t mind, what makes you come back to that kind of content? I went to eyeblech once, out of some kind of morbid curiosity (and not really knowing what it was), but one video in particular is now permanently etched onto my retinas and I really wish I could unsee it. I’ve never been back there. A similar video that probably came from watchpeopledie is also still living in my brain. Also wish I could forget that one.

So yeah, I sort of understand listening to (true) horror stories, true crime and all that, but I struggle to understand why you’d want to watch someone die as a pastime. Would love to hear your perspective on this.

And to answer your question: yes, while I would not want to see that kind of content, it’ll probably get posted anyway and then it’d be better if it were hosted somewhere in a controlled manner on a special instance or something like that, so random people don’t accidentally bump into it. That particular instance should expect that other instances will defederate from them however. If only to make sure that the mods and admins don’t manually have to weed that out of their own instances.

That one’s very sweet. I’ve also seen a few heartbreaking ones and I kinda wish I could send the people that wrote those a hug honestly

Yeah, no kidding :’) Guess we have to wait for spez to sprinkle golden wrappers across the platform to find users to pick the new CEO from

You’re not wrong. I work for a company that really tries to make new employees feel like they’re part of a “family”. The longer you work there, the more you become immune to their bullshit though. Mostly because the low-level employees get treated worse than those working at headquarters. Luckily it’s only a parttime job and I’ll be leaving as soon as I’m done with my masters.

That explains, but yeah, still off-putting :')

A little off-topic, but who calls their employees ‘snoos’? Am I missing some context here?

The OS wars have always bugged me a little. On one hand you have iOS users acting all high and mighty and considering anything other than iPhone less, on the other there’s some snobby Android users that seem to think everyone that uses an iPhone is an idiot. Guess we can’t help but engage in us-vs-them thinking sometimes. Excluding people based on the tech they use makes absolutely zero sense to me though.

I’ve used both iOS/MacOS and Android/Windows over the years and I can’t really say that one is inherently better than the other. Each platform excels in a different use case however and has different USPs.

Anywho, just my two cents. Cheers!

Yep, this is also a common feature for phones for seniors.
