That’s a pretty insane threshold. I say that as a die hard underground metal fan.

I’m assuming this is a reference to the heat wave in Ontario right now? Otherwise, I don’t get it.

I’ve experienced that criticism. To that I say I already know where I stand on these political issues and I’ll amplify (and have amplified) voices I want amplified. Regardless of how much I filter out, the dust on the upper crust of world news still makes its way to me in some way or another so I’ll always have a general idea of what’s going on. I just don’t need to know every tiny detail about the trillionth example of the dregs of human nature.

Living out from under that black cloud is truly liberating and I highly recommend anyone reading this to establish a filter list and block any communities that regularly kill your mood.

Android for sure. Thanks for the info.

Got any suggestions on how to set that up? I’ve known about RSS for a long time, I just never really understood it, I guess.

Its not a bad thing to close lemmy 5 mins after you open it. There’s a whole world outside of the internet.

I purged world news from my feeds years ago. I have no idea what’s going and I love it.

Here’s my filter list if you want it:

israel, iran, cybertruck, north korea, tesla, israeli, russia, belarus, palestine, palestinian, trump, biden, rogan, ukraine, china, politics, democrat, republican, america, usa, government, law, war, conflict, weapon, vance, biden, harris, election, kamala, dnc, rnc, conflict, tensions, elon, musk, greene, boebert, soldier, military, bomb, attack, conflict

There’s really not much that slips by this list in tandem with my community block list. Life on the internet is much more peaceful now.

If you’re gonna be a cunt, at least be good at it. This is some bush league shit.

That’s really sweet. :)

I’m not a programmer or anything so I have no experience with scripting at all. My job is supporting customers and their business phones. The script allows me to take a bunch of info from these dense readouts from the system and filter out only the relevant details so that if I need to ask another team for help I don’t have to copy/paste and format a bunch of different stuff manually. It just spits out the info I need from a bulk of mostly needless info.

It’s already saving me time so I’m glad I decided to just dive into this scripting stuff head first.

I wrote my first ever bash script to make my job less tedious and I’m happy. :) Time to refine and expand it now!

That doesn’t negate the value of having them participate in the conversation though.

Salesforce is so fucking AI-pilled its insane. I hate having to use their shit-tier CRM.

The stone age = any time before 2005 apparently 🙄

Black holes don’t just roam around looking for planets to snack on.

Don’t be so sure. There’s plenty of cases of black holes devouring entire star systems. There’s so many black holes just drifting around that you could make a case that they are just roaming around looking for their next snack.

If I saw anyone harm any animal intentionally outside of self-defence, that’s an instant and permanent write off. I’d literally take any opportunity to talk shit about said person beating animals and would take pride in beating their ass if the moment was right.

Anyone hurting animals gets a big ol’ irrevocable “fuck you” from me.

There’s like 8 billion people on this planet you can be friends with. Don’t roll with or enable abusers.

Bitburner is pretty cool too.

I have to use Discord Canary for that but yeah. Flatpak all the way.

You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you’re not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn’t have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don’t want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.

It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.

I haven’t had issues with my banking app either but I don’t use the NFC wallet functionality and never have. I prefer to just tap my physical card.
