@taylan there's hardsell round here for the direct to property fibre they installed in the pavement, not much take up. Neighbour has it, but I don't know what speed they'll be getting. I'd be very happy to pay a bit more to improve my internet speed, but it's not an option to get a bit more, you can go from the 7.5mbps/.64mbps up/down I have, to 900mbps with digging up the garden and drilling holes in walls (which isn't an option as we don't own this house, and hell no they aren't touching the garden), but there's nothing in between.
@taylan 😭 Simple Keyboard has the right keys in the right order, but no predictive text or spellcheck. everyone else has the keys in the wrong layout with no choice. why!!!!
@taylan why Gboard so crap, why everyone else follow keyboard layout for Gboard was there a meeting? why the opensource keyboard app guys not finished. :sigh:
@Fullycaffeinated@ninapaley@LostInCalifornia RW men rarely give an actual shit about anything, it's all performative and power moves. If it's only Muslim men and organised gangs, not simply girls abused by anyone, then they don't need to examine their own. In the case of a white girl being abused by a white man in the church, they all still look away. And the non-white girls who go missing, not their problem.
@taylan@jeffcliff I am very tired (understatement) of govts and everyone else considering covid as a death/recovery disease. You should be far more worried about the consequences of repeated infections , personally and societally. It's creating a lot more disabled people, new onset chronic disease, and it disrupts immune system making people more vulnerable to everything else, of all ages. And it has damaged public health and common sense, washing your hands to avoid an airborne disease, removing even the previous levels of masking and isolation in cancer clinics etc. You also might want to consider the effect a vascular disease, which is what sars cov2 is, has on the brain. And why research into better testing stopped, why research into figuring out why some people and not others isn't an urgent priority.
@GrumpyOldNurse it's very hard not to take it personally. they might be idiots. ok they for sure are, but some of them are in charge of stuff you need. and the assumption is that I either choose to live like this, or I'm too stupid to do the thing that will magically fix everything.
@GrumpyOldNurse like you were saying earlier in a reply about PTSD, they assume 1. *that* won't happen to them and also 2. even if it did they'd cope better than you do. followed by 3. them not coping well with the *that* is proof that theirs is worse than yours.
@LostInCalifornia even so there are large numbers of people I followed who don't post any more, they moved to bluesky because they thought it would be nicer there. So their voices aren't deboosted, they are just silent, by their own choice.
