not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • Huh. The nearest I have to an actual “AOSP” device is my King Kong Cubot phone that has probably the cleanest version of “stock Android” I’ve ever seen, and I’m going to presume you mean like a Google Pixel / Graphene etc?

    Tailscale and the QS tile / notification was solid on that Cubot but to be honest, I’ve barely turned it on these days and is now one of those drawer phones.

    Miui / HyperHyperOS though is a different kettle of fish and exempting Tailscale from its App lel Killer does seem to work. 70-80%ish…

    But there is something that just fuggs up and turn it off/on like most thingys I own 🙈




  • I think it’s actually my instance not loading “SD” images (sometimes not initially, sometimes, straight away?) and it’s not until I click the “HD” button does it actually load images like the above?

    My instance thou is mainly run by a couple of guy who are a little busy IRL and it might be playing a part in what happened above since Nicole generally gets through most of the time.

    Bad, Nicole 🫢


  • I hear ya.

    But like I say the Fediverse is a bit different to reddit and means someone from a freshly made/hosted instance can straight up send you “bad things” in a comment thread nevermind a DM unless the Instance admins have de-federated from a spam(my)/unmoderated instance.

    I’ve been putting off the invite to help the admins of my Instance since I’m a complete idiot at the best of times, but I do think we need more people flagging / tagging / sharing / mass banning them.

    Good luck and have fun with the risky clicks ;)

    Has Nicole been trying to cheat on me again?

    But seriously, sometimes these come from random instances besides the one you’ve mentioned and I can’t see how you could block them outside of playing whack-a-mole due to the nature of how the Fediverse…works.

    Maybe instance admins could implement some kinda cool off feature before being able to DM another user, maybe the Lemmy devs could like you’re requesting outright allow you to block DM’s. Thing is, the spammers then adapt and use other methods to desperately try to get you biting their shite.

    I had another yesterday

    https://files.catbox.moe/lojl62.jpg

    that didn’t show up until I clicked the [obj] placeholder in Boost and eventually did the risky click shit even thou it could’ve been CSAM 🤬









  • Yeah, we’ve got something I recall being called the P-laws or something brought in, meaning all new sockets need to be a certain height above floor level.

    I’ve seen many rented houses here that still have them on the floor since older builds ain’t required to rectify them. Scary if you see all the recent flooding we’ve been having in some parts of the country :/

    But those three pin / fused BS 1363 whilst been one of the safest sockets you can get, I can confirm they’re an absolute bastard if you stand on one.


  • Personally, I never learned how to use a razor

    🤔

    Alright. Ima be ur daddy and tell you have to shave in 3 minutes flat.

    • Acquire some BIC single blade razors

    • Head to shower, put it on steaming hot and apply steaming hot water to face. Getting a hot towel after getting out of the shower and leaving it on your face for a while makes a tough shave even moar comfortable.

    • Lather shaving foam all over face

    • Run BIC razor under cold running water and shave until your face is like a baby’s bum

    • Rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all lather
