Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....
I’m out here trying to save enough money to get by, it’s annoying to keep seeing all the things I can’t afford paraded in front of me constantly. Some of them I wish I could afford, some of them I’d never buy if I had the chance.
It strikes me as companies with too much access and too much money looking to drain my accounts to add it like a drop of water to their swimming pool they already have.
A Tesla owner’s dream of taking his new Cybetruck for a spin turned into a nightmare. He landed in the emergency room with blood spurting from a wrist wound before even getting behind the wheel.
I was hoping they’d start adding a sort of rounded plastic shell to make it more aerodynamic and cover over the sharp edges, but if customers still like them after an injury there’s no incentive to dull the edges.
If enough non-customers are killed, they may have to do something, but idk what.
I live in an area with not so great air quality and no AC. We have little air filters inside the rooms, but at night we have to let the cool (and dirty) air inside to cool down the house....
If you’re relying on the breezes to let air in, then a furnace filter that is the same size or a little bigger than the opening of the window should work. You’ll get a little less air, but a HEPA filter will let only clean air in if it’s wedged into the window opening or taped to the outside.
If you’re doing a box fan with furnace filters, do at least 3 filters and some cardboard to make a cube, put the cube outside and the fan in the window opening, and block any gaps around the fan.
A matching pair of show cars, custom built from the ground up to cruise in and turn heads.
Also, build the modern equivalent of the Model T, the Volkswagen Beetle, something like that. The super practical, oddly attractive, easily repairable, energy sipping cheap-mobile. It would be hard to meet all these goals plus modern safety requirements, but that’s where the endless money comes in for R&D.
If your first idea of what to do with an instance is ban people, immediately followed by muting people, maybe the fediverse is not for you. If blocking users and communities from your own profile isn’t good enough for you, please leave.
Absolutely. Sometimes I consider getting a separate Bluetooth keyboard, but I seriously doubt it would be similar enough to scratch the itch. I really miss knowing exactly where all the keys are by feel and typing without looking.
Now that I’ve seen this… Most of the things people want out of a dumb phone can be accomplished by putting an android on ultra power saving mode. Except physical keyboards.

Why do we hate commercials and advertisements?
This is a very softball question, it is not being asked for some legitimate purpose....
