Tbh, I don’t think I can change the muscle memory. Even if run0 is forced on users as the new sudo, I’ll just use an alias or some shit.

Dating apps are a fucking shit show.

I was on Tinder, Bumble and Hinge for the last 6 months.

I was genuinely trying to put my best foot forward, be kind, genuine and actually wanted to meet someone. I’m kinda sick of being single after breaking up from a long term relationship last year.

I tried every strategy and technique.

More info on my profile / Less info on my profile. More group pics/ more pics of just me. Being funnier / being more sincere.

I even paid for Tinder plus and Bumble plus.

Did I get a single date from any of these apps? Nope. But I did get ghosted. Unmatched. Ignored. Etc etc countless fucking times.

It absolutely fucked my mental health. My brain is in a good place now after a long time with trying different medications and therapy etc. I like the person I am. I know I have a lot to offer in a relationship. But fuck if my self esteem and mental state didn’t take a nosedive after being on these apps. Putting so much time and effort into presenting yourself as well as you can, putting best foot forward etc and getting zero interest back, it really makes you question who you are and even your value as person.

I fucking hate it.

So yeah, I’m still single. I don’t see that changing any time soon.

For context btw, I’m 189cm / 6’2" tall, 100KG / 220lbs, healthy, active guy in my twenties. I’m in a comp sci college course. I drive, have an income, savings, go to the gym 4 times a week etc In other words, I tick enough boxes/ do all the things, that are supposed to help find a match on these apps. But even with all that said, 6 months and zero dates. I don’t even know anymore. I deleted my accounts on these the other day and I advise others to do the same. The chances of you actually finding someone you like and have chemistry with is basically zero at this stage. Plus the enshitification is rife. They push the premium subscriptions so fucking hard but in the end, they don’t help you find matches or dates. It’s worth noting that Tinder wants to keep you on the app. You deleting it after finding love is bad for business as far as they are concerned. I just wish more people would realize this.

Anyway, sorry for the long post, thanks for coming to my Ted talk.

What the fuck is wrong with you lol

I feel seen

If Steam or Valve ever goes public and IPOs, I’m gonna fucking kill myself.

They seem to be the only ones who aren’t like going through an enshitification cycle right now.

Is there evidence that they are collecting data from the app?

I love Nova launcher but will switch to an alternative if I have to.

It’s the beauty of Flatpak, works both ways no prob

Another jewel in Godot’s crown. Love to see it

Nobody fucks with the Linux

Yeah or if they only offer 2FA via SMS. Like 1) it’s not even that much more secure and 2) it’s just more awkward.

But I also hate how Steam and Blizzard only allow you to verify logins in their mobile app. Fucking ridiculous.

Cool. Their first gen Fair buds were kinda pointless. The headphones though, the Fair buds XL are excellent. I bought a pair recently and I love them.

You misspelled Fedora

I use Fedora btw

Can someone give me a TLDR please

The Brits took to the seas. The Irish took to the bottle.

Seems like a fantastic release. Well done to all involved.

This seems cool as hell. I just hope the FAA agrees. Also, landing one of these things seems like it couldn’t be tough, especially in bad conditions. But who knows

Apparently, he and some ex Blizzard people created a new studio. But itl be a few years before they have any games to unveil. And honestly, that’s fine. I mean he could announce he’s retiring and it’d be fine. He earned it as far as I’m concerned.

Behold unfettered capitalism in all its glory.

“We only stay successful if we hide evidence of alternatives”

I didn’t know this was a thing. Linux can run android apps?
