I didn’t read this article but yes. I’ve basically stopped using search engines altogether now and use Perplexity. It’s nice to be able to say “that didn’t work, here’s the error” and “double check your work because this is important” and it just…does it. It’s not perfect but it’s miles better than googling up that 5 year old Stack Overflow post with your exact question and zero answers.

It might be better to start over?

We have a housing problem and the government is actively reducing immigration targets (that’s you moving here permanently) and curbing foreign property investment (that’s you buying property here).

It’s not a great time for you to make this move.

Zactly.

It’s come a long way.

This is probably the least painful way to get a few fediverse apps installed. There are many Mastodon type apps, Pixelfed, Lemmy and maybe more.

Somehow the Beepberry people got their hands on tons of BlackBerry keyboards. I assume they get in trouble because if you look at the site now, all the keyboards are pixelated to be unreadable. But I just assumed that these were international BB keyboards so probably some other script like Arabic or Cyrillic, etc.

“Warez”. That’s a name I’ve not heard for a long time.

Looks like it doesn’t specifically but you can lock it down still.

This works. If OP has a SIM card (vs esim) then it’s easy to move it back and forth between phones as the problem ebbs and flows. I have a $60 “feature” phone (the non-slang name for them) that sits in a drawer and comes out a few times a year to quell the noise.

You are, in fact, doom scrolling.

Does GtS not support relays? That’s what everyone uses to seed their new instances. I’m on a single user instance and have thousand of posts from hundreds of instances coming in daily.

F* no.

That’s the app I use. It is nice.

I just find the federated timeline a good way to find new people. Because everyone is stuffed onto the flagship instance, there’s prolly lots on the local timeline. But not so for smaller or newer instances.

Some (all?) of the apps just wrap the FB website so they can’t really tell what’s happening to block it or could do so without hitting a bunch of innocents.

Addling a vote for Fastmail. It’s great, priced right, privacy centric, has wicked 1Passwold integration (including disposable email addresses) and nerdy features for those who want them.

Personally I use Hey but that’s because imma snob.

I recently had a Kona loaner with that. It was so dumb.

Thank you, I did not know that.

Do you have to block communities? I thought you could just not join them to avoid their content.
