On the note of “keeping your phone in airplane mode”:

No Bluetooth enabled devices is a good point too.

Those devices broadcast identifiable data whenever Bluetooth is enabled, and that data can be logged very easily. If an app has Bluetooth permissions it has the capability of logging that info. Or a simple device that logs nearby Bluetooth devices. About 2 years ago I placed a device in my apartment next to a road and within a week I had the habits of my neighbors logged with accurate timestamps. I took that device apart after that, it’s a macropad now.

So for the sake of privacy, no Bluetooth headphones, watches, etc near your “Go bag” phone when it has a battery in it. IMO avoid such devices in general.

Best to work on your cardio now as well, if you’ve gotta trek to a destination it’s best to have some endurance.

We’ve got big long borders and a lot of it is incredibly undeveloped.

Thank you for your service 🫡

I too do what I can for my friends with memes and lending an ear/shoulder

Bros don’t let their bros cry alone

You mean I get to love on the Discworld on the backs of 4 giant elephants on the back of a cosmic turtle?

HELL YEAH!

Never underestimate the value of good cardio health.

Being able to trudge for long periods of time in difficult terrain is a very useful skill.

Bonus points for knowing how to navigate without digital technology, where we’re going we don’t want to geo-pin ourselves.

I’m shocked!

Shocked I tell you!

Only 60%‽

Blows my mind that it’s so low.

What a terrible day to know how to read

I’m going to go do something pleasant now… Away from this post.

I used it for awhile (I’ve been on Reddit for about 13 years)

Honestly though pulling more away from social media is good for my mental health. And making the experience more abrasive so it’s less of a passive thing is good.

I’ll still check sometimes on Reddit when I’m at my desk if I feel like it and I’ve got time, so like barely anymore.

When 3rd party apps died I moved here.

After them saying that if you upvote enough banned content you’ll get banned, I’m just waiting to catch ban over there.

And Into the Spiderverse for some stuff

Or on Blue Sky or Mastadon

Hell reach put to your reps and tell them that they should have a Blue Sky and Mastodon for if something like this happens in the future.

Ain’t no better time than now due to the Twitter outage.

Getting my friends to shift over is a pain in the ass for sure

Considering how often Google’s AI hallucinates some garbage for an answer this is going to be terrible

This so much!

Leave all Bluetooth devices at home as well as they have unique IDs that can be tied back to you as well.

And if you’re worried about your stereo you can always pull the fuse so it gets no power then put the fuse back when you get home.

Need directions? Print them and DO NOT LOSE THE PAPER!

I’d love to be able to just go to my post and see a list of the people who have shared my stuff and links to their shared posts.

For example: 3 people share one of my posts, on the post I click the spot thatvsays how many times it’s been shared, and I can see the posts they made by sharing mine.

I hope that makes sense? IDK if it did I’m tired AF right now lol

On the browser version of Pixelfed there’s a setting you can get to from your profile page that let’s you enable “reblogs” being visible in your homefeed. (It’s kinda vague on what that means though)

I couldn’t find it on the official mobile app.

Honestly the official mobile app I can’t see comments on my posts either.

I’d say the official mobile app needs a little TLC.

Edit after seeing it for the first time: They should really male the text bigger IMO and/or add an extra disclaimer when it’s added to the cart. Like “The Early Access game you have added to your cart hasn’t had an update in [insert time] would you like to continue?” And highlight the item.

After this line the rest of the comment is unchanged.

Depends on the game really, but in general I agree.

Some early access games have the core gameplay loop done they’re just not feature complete, and some early access games didn’t nail the loop before being abandoned. Some are barely functional when abandoned, and some are thinly veiled tech demos.

And some early access games have been in early access forever constantly ballooning in scope and will likely never leave early access. And some came with an initial scope that should’ve been a huge red flag for everyone but then they basically went into “maintain appearances” mode (scams like Star Citizen)

Especially considering that the “pointing out of said hallucinations” comes much later than when they’re shared. And NEVER made it as far and wide as the initial bullshit.

Panic intensifies

And more ground clearance
