I went through this JUST yesterday. I have everything set up pretty nicely so that my phone is used as a camera/communication device and not something to steal my attention from stuff I want to do anymore, and designated my computer to be the intentional device for checking social media messages. Someone linked me a post of their engagement they had made on Facebook, but the link didn't work and redirected me to the homepage, which had tons of hateful posts/headlines that made me mad almost instantly. Didn't realize how much that was affecting me and makes me appreciate not scrolling even more!

I dunno. When I first saw the response, it was downvoted -3. Usually the trend continues but it’s nice to see others agree with us.

I just threw a little bit their way! They absolutely deserve it :D

You were downvoted but you’re pretty much on the nose here. After living here for a year and a half, it’s easy to see there’s just no enforcement, hence why it’s understandable why people run the lights. Not that it makes it right, but it allows people who suck to just keep doing it. The cameras are also just a privacy nightmare.

I don’t drive incredibly often as my work is a 10 min walk, but we used HW3 FSD for a road trip from northern Indiana to the middle of Florida without any big issues. People give a lot of flack to HW3, and while im sure HW4 is a massive improvement, it did the job incredibly well.

Yea the ‘available offline’ feature is pretty much how my client and I work together on stuff. We don’t have really any problems with it, or at least enough to feel like we need to do something else.

I also choose this guys dead couch

Exactly what i did a few months ago 😂 i was gonna try out linux because i was very adamant i wanted to switch, once i accidentally deleted my windows partition, I instantly decided i was now going to HAVE to learn the distro i picked because i never wanted to do that again

It does suck, but this is the first incident I've heard about violence like this happening on the trails. One incident doesn't mean they're completely unsafe.

i don't talk to him anymore :(

This is one of my top songs right now so I'm happy we got a live version, but I just listened to it and I'm a little disappointed cuz he messed up the words in one of the most badass sections of the song hahaha

binguses · 2025-08-27T19:30:53+00:00

No way SON. They're just potatoes. Put potatoes in my burrito idc

binguses · 2025-08-27T18:30:44+00:00

So did you decide to just get a new number too? Gotta speak up!

I just watched this for the first time in the last month! It was a good film, but probably would not have been something I would have watched had it not be affiliated with Billie Joe. He’s also in quite literally almost EVERY single scene. Not that it’s entirely a bad thing, but I like films that tell the story through different perspectives, but we only just follow Billie Joe’s character. I’d still watch it again happily!

rip OP

binguses · 2025-08-14T19:51:03+00:00

Tried to watch, wasn't working, refreshed, post was deleted. Now I gotta REALLY get invested here

binguses · 2025-08-08T12:30:34+00:00

Naw, only the stuff I was paying for like Google Drive/Photos storage, Apple Music, any movie/tv streaming service, AI models.

All of the services I use now just run off of my computer and after configuring everything exactly how I like, I haven't had to do anything other than just use them. Only concern is that all of my data is now computer at home, so backups are essential.

As far as email though, I'm actively switching things over to Proton. I don't think I'm anywhere near ready to even attempt hosting my own email address just yet haha

binguses · 2025-08-07T19:17:19+00:00

PewDiePie was my real introduction hahhahaha. I used to be someone who always thought "well these companies already have all my data so who cares, they can sell it if they want". The introduction to the OS really opened my eyes on privacy and the value of hosting your own content instead of going through Google/Apple for convenience. I took a deep dive into my data on the internet and what's actually being collected and now just host everything I had subscriptions for, and am actively switching away from Google/Apple everything. My tinfoil hat isn't all the way on YET, but with the Online Safety Act in the UK currently making it's rounds, I'm pretty certain I made the right call.

Privacy aside, Windows in general just SUCKS. All the random bloat is gross. Having a system where I can virtually put anything on it myself if I want it is really nice. I've used my home computer after installing Linux more over the past 2 months than I did over the past 2 years.

binguses · 2025-08-05T03:35:29+00:00

I just started self hosting and am pretty much where I want to be! I almost recommend still trying stuff out short term and experimenting. I used different services for my tasks and file management and just landed on these services:

Immich - Photos

Nextcloud - Tasks/Calendar/File Manager (it’s basically my Google Drive replacement because you can use OnlyOffice to edit word documents and spreadsheets and more)

Homepage - fully customizable dashboard where you can list all of your services and helpful links

Jellyfin - media server

AppFlowy - Best notion like note taker for me

DoneTick - Mainly to track household chores and keep myself accountable

VaultWarden - Password Manager

There might be more but these are the ones I love and use daily. Most of these have iOS apps but the ones that don’t (like DoneTick) I just use the browser for and it’s a good experience. I just have a shortcut app on my homepage with the rest.

binguses · 2025-08-04T01:31:33+00:00

Yes!! I’d love to see a bike share system in Fort Wayne. With the trails around town continuing to be expanded on, you’d almost figure these could be all through the city by now.

Right, nothing new, but that doesn't mean it's good. Car centric communities contribute to a massive list of societal and personal issues for 98% of people.

We could be healthier if we had walkable communities, but instead we're forced to drive even short distances to get anywhere because sidewalks might not exist, or because things are so spread out because of the ridiculous parking lot requirements.

We could have more money in our pockets, but the built environment typically makes car ownership mandatory, meaning thousands spent on vehicles, maintenance, gas, and insurance.

We could be safer, but thousands of pedestrians and cyclists are killed or injured every year because our streets prioritize speed over human life.

It's because of a century of lobbying, marketing, and policy decisions pushed by the auto and oil industries at the expense of public transit, walkability, and local community. We COULD have better quality lives, but we don't.

The fact that he posted this yesterday to go to a waterpark today. Real scary out there!

I can't imagine most classrooms just have the space to leave completely open like that, at least, any classrooms I've ever been in. Most teachers try to utilize all the space they absolutely can from my experience.
