Do not the case.

Don’t.

But are they questions?

Fat chance.

So, to be clear, Bluesky is not a knee-jerk reaction to Twitter’s enshittification and is actually very good?

Or Startpage. Mojeek. Searx. Qwant. The lot…

I absolutely shit on crypto forever until actually reading into it. Alas, new things are too scary for conservatives most people to consider. I’m glad I grew up, being able to recognise Bitcoin as a genuine effort at creating a good thing instead of a fad.

Entitlement. Simple as.

Why does it seem to be getting more traction than Mastodon? Makes no sense.

:(

This is the greatest drum part of all time

Good. Now do… every other place on Earth.

F-ZERO. Truly a devastating loss. 99 is cool, but there’s no guarantee we’ll ever see a completely new title ever again. There was no other series with the same level of snappy controls, character design, music and challenge. It really is in a league of its own.

Yes. Absolutely. I’m the relatively rare hyper-social under-stimulated autistic type, in a friend group of people that aren’t into close contact and frequent interaction. It’s incredibly frustrating, but I’m distrusting of new people, and, ultimately, they’ve always been there for me. Despite my :3ness.

I had a smaller group that was into it for a little while, but that time has passed. Very, very passed. We don’t talk about that.

While this is true, is it fact?

This… works. Ultimately one of the smaller issues (and different swipe regions are just easier), but it’s a little faster.

I use Niagra. Launchers are home screen only. And, as long as I use anything related to stock Android, I’m stuck with this.

Hold on. This control centre thing is really annoying me over here on Android. iOS separates notifications and control centre into two separate groups. I have to swipe down twice on Android to do what took a single swipe on iOS. On top of this, clearing all notifications closes the drawer after a delay, automatically. Why? I can close it faster myself, and sometimes, I want it to stay open, but NOPE!

And then the control centre itself. Volume control just… doesn’t exist (key word: CONTROL). Brightness (which I use often) is all the way at the top, rather than the middle. Then, the control centre is split into PAGES at HALF SIZE, and they’re all just wide rectangular buttons. Then, no volume control. What the HELL is this!? I could long press to get an easy brightness slider for my torch, everything internet related was quickly accessible in a single square, and now you’re telling me iOS is even FURTHER ahead?

Did I mention there’s NO. VOLUME. CONTROL. I have to press a volume button, then a tiny on-screen button after that, and then I get sliders after I wait for the menu to pop up. Granted, that’s sliders (plural), but fuck me. This one HURTS. I sometimes find the buttons a little bit too stiff, so I usually use on-screen controls during screen on, and buttons while off.

So much for owning my phone, since I can barely change any of this, and I can only see the way my control centre looks after I’ve edited it.

FUCK!

This absolute abhorrence. The Gods forsake this wretched control centre design. It is genuinely agonising using this afterthought of an interface. This cannot stand.

Like math notes. And handwriting fonts. And a customisable control centre. And phone mirroring. And locking apps natively. And pretty much all of Apple Intelligence (particularly Genmoji because I want a hyena emoji and Unicode doesn’t have one).

I’m experiencing déjà vu…
