I really like WAFRN (https://wafrn.net/) which is a Tumblr-inspired platform. I’ve never been able to get into the more micro-blogging style that Tumblr is known for, but for some reason, I find myself very engaged with WAFRN.

Hopefully none of that “subscribe to see more matches” bs

Oh, and one of the generic message prompts is “What Linux distro do you use?”

I started my privacy journey last year. My gf at the time, was really into privacy and told me all about data collection and selling. I bushed it off, justifying it as the cost of a using a free platform, until I noticed that topics from our Discord convos would appear on my YouTube recommendations (or I Googled something similar, still creepy none the less). It was so oddly specific that I freaked me out and I almost immediately changed my search engine, browser, email, etc.

I genuinely believe that all the design and music choices that caused major online outrage for that one Sonic movie that came out during COVID was all faked for press.

You mean to tell me that they redesigned and reanimated the entire movie and added multiple new scenes to the movie in six months during peak COVID?

OG trailer if you don’t know what movie I’m talking about: https://youtu.be/4mW9FE5ILJs

Here’s a clips from the when the “improved” version was released: https://youtu.be/6cIhrkE2txA

^ Not to mention that considering how privacy conscious the OOP was there’s a good chance they had some way to limit IP tracking. When I verify log-ins for 2FA the approximate location shown in emails is rarely in my city much less close enough to pin any business near my home.

Edit: I skipped over the part where they had proxies active. Which leads me to my next question: If they had proxies active wouldnt they cover their tracks if the VPN fails?

I like to share a lot of links (mostly from Youtube) with my friends.

My laptop has been discontinued by the manufacture for a couple years now and with support for Windows 10 ending, I wanted to increase the lifespan of my device so I looked into Linux. The lack of ads, bloat, and spyware are also major selling point to me.

I recently learned that I’m allergic to mosquito bites, it turns out it’s not normal for them to swell up to an inch in a half.

This is a big factor for me. Attracting local people means that I can meet up in person and not have to spend additional money for shipping ,or worry that the item arrived damaged or is lost during transit.

Yes, but Facebook has more people so the items I’m selling typically get picked up pretty fast.

Same Unfortunately, I use Marketplace for some things and Meta made it damn near impossible to use a browser for posting marketplace listings and responding to DM’s

Graduating highschool (hopefully)

Interesting! I’ve always assumed that Indigenous cultures around wear lighter, breathable clothing during the summertime if they lived in the warmer provinces.

Ikr it pissed me off to no end! Planned obsolescence should be illegal.

Depression 100% I have lost so much of my youth to it, and even now with my meds and lifestyle changes it still finds its way back into my life. Hell, depression is the reason why I’m 21 and still in highschool! It’s an awful condition

What does OOTB mean?

I swear I managed to go through all the typical cringe phases in middle school: weeb, nice girl, smart ass, edgy atheists, you name it lol I’m shocked that I had friends at all during that time.

Essentially. Waterfox is a Firefox “fork” (a reimagined version of Firefox using its original source code) Unlike Firefox, Waterfox is more privacy focused with no telementary and a built in tracker blocker.

Whichever one I’m currently hyperfixating on lol. I’m really enjoying [title card] at the moment

Those Dollar Store umbrellas! They are so shit they will break if the slightest bit of wind hits them, or maybe the flimsy metal frame breaks from closing it.

Sure it’s from the Dollar Store, but I’ve bought lots of things from there that have last a decent around of time.
