The most annoying phone thing to me is Zoomers / teens / old people / anyone with videos and music playing from their shitty little phone speakers in public. A lot of kids seem to be phone and tablet addicts and don’t comprehend the noise they’re making is bothering others.

But a few notification sounds is nothing. It’s all about the quantity and duration and volume. Personally I don’t put my phone on Silent or Vibrate unless I’m in a quiet public place like a movie or an office - but I also control all notifications with a heavy hand, not allowing any bullshit apps notification permission unless it’s an important direct communication.

Likewise, have a great time with your fantasies of revolution or whatever.

Could it be that you just don’t want to admit that you can’t do anything about it?

As for me, I don’t have any responsibility to push onto others about it. I accept the things that cannot change, and I have adapted to survive in the environment that I live in, and things are going generally well.

So what are you gonna do about it then? In reality.

Blaming “capitalism” for all of society’s problems is about as useful as blaming God or some gremlins. For example, if you’re in the USA and you blame “capitalism” for your problems, then what are you gonna do about it? There is no path to change this society from capitalism to socialism or communism. We have entire armies of military and police who will ensure that the status quo stays in place. You also can’t vote your way out of this. No candidates advocating such changes will be elected.

The best thing we can do is aim for better regulation of the systems that have allowed for the oligarchy to take it all over. Which won’t be easy or quick at all but is at least somewhat possible.

That could possibly be true IF it were true that TikTok is the only place you can talk about that, but it’s not. Have a look around.

No, and I wouldn’t want it to. I have plenty of space on my server anyway.

That is not true, it is completely possible with systems like Nextcloud and Owncloud. I have one set up at home and it’s great.

The phone app auto-uploads your chosen pics directory’s contents to your chosen cloud backup folder on a schedule or any time you want. And it’s free software.

Real obvious answer, you shoot them.

The BLM protestors who marched with guns in Georgia didn’t get fucked with by the cops at all, because the cops were scared. Look it up.

Other BLM protestors got beat down by cops in riot gear, in countless examples across the country (when the protestors were unarmed).

SteamVR is great also, provides a native VR system that Epic doesn’t have

Nope, I have a lot better things to do than look at a tiny handheld screen.

Yep he would have been able to smell him outside the window watching too

Nextcloud has a Notes app too

In a non-Tesla car I’ve driven, there was an autopilot cruise control mode that just used cameras. In practice it only works out well if you’re driving long distance on a highway with low traffic. It’s still nice to have (much better than having no autopilot cruise mode) but I don’t trust it around multiple lanes of other cars doing unpredictable shit. Also quits working in the rain when the cameras are obscured.

My grandpa was kinda fat and he loved to wear overalls.

“9 out of 10 workers support the policy” he decided to imagine and then say out loud

Yeah a commentary video with a creator of a movie or show is real content related to the other content, not the same as a random person’s “look at me” video

It went from “don’t post pictures of yourself or your real name online because you might get strangers’ attention” to everyone trying to be their own version of a Max Headroom talking head to try to get the attention of all the strangers. Selfies, video selfies, talking head videos, reaction videos… all garbage.
