Wasn’t on my bingo card but sure why not

FrankTheHealer ,

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.

FrankTheHealer ,

What the fuck is wrong with you lol

FrankTheHealer ,

I feel seen

FrankTheHealer ,

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.

FrankTheHealer ,

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.

FrankTheHealer ,

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

FrankTheHealer ,

That’s such a great point. I never thought about that.

FrankTheHealer ,

Sony is super strict about that kind of thing

FrankTheHealer ,

Absolutely fucked that it’s even a thing in the first place

FrankTheHealer ,

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

that ain't legal either (lemmy.ml)

transcriptScreenshot of github showing part of the commit message of this commit with this text: Remove the backdoor found in 5.6.0 and 5.6.1 (CVE-2024-3094). While the backdoor was inactive (and thus harmless) without inserting a small trigger code into the build system when the source package was created, it’s good to...

Nobody fucks with the Linux

FrankTheHealer ,

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.

FrankTheHealer ,

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.

FrankTheHealer ,

You misspelled Fedora

FrankTheHealer ,

TIL Nova Lox is smoked salmon from Nova Scotia. Never heard of that before. Is it nice OP?

FrankTheHealer ,

I had half a mind to buy one after I graduate college. But I don’t know if I can right now given the fact it directly benefits Elon.

FrankTheHealer ,

I use Fedora btw

Lasse Collin, the other xz maintainer, has acknowledged the backdoor (tukaani.org)

They haven’t particularly made a comment on the situation so much as acknowledged it’s happening. They seem to be going with the story that they had nothing to do with it and this is news to them. Hope to hear more from them soon so we can find out more about the situation, how and why this happened, etc....

FrankTheHealer ,

Can someone give me a TLDR please

FrankTheHealer ,

That’s so cool. I love that.Thanks EA ☺️ This will definitely make the game not a boring mess. You should do same with all your games. Even Sims 4. Cripple Linux compatibility and kill my performance so that we can stop those evil pirates.

/s in case it’s not obvious

FrankTheHealer ,

Just looking at that map makes me crack up as someone from Ireland. Baltimore is a small town here on the south coast of Cork. Dundalk is up in Northern Ireland. Pasadena is a place in California.

I just think it’s funny when America has random place names taken from elsewhere.

FrankTheHealer ,

🫡

FrankTheHealer ,

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

FrankTheHealer ,

I know people who don’t know what an Ethernet cable is.

Internet = wifi / mobile data. And that’s it as far as they are concerned

Routers, modems, switches, bandwidth, Ethernet etc. That’s all just mysterious mumbo jumbo nerd shit. They only know that wifi = the symbol on their phone and that it makes their apps load. It’s crazy.

FrankTheHealer ,

Behold unfettered capitalism in all its glory.

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

FrankTheHealer ,

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

FrankTheHealer ,

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

FrankTheHealer ,

TIL that Canada sells arms. Or even has any arms industry to speak of

FrankTheHealer ,

There was hope initially, but as a huge overwatch fan, when Jeff Kaplan, the former game director of Overwatch, left Blizzard, I could see the bullshit that lay ahead. It took too long for others to realize.

FrankTheHealer ,

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.

FrankTheHealer ,

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

FrankTheHealer ,

Cool. Now please do Proton Drive and Calendar. Please and thank you Proton.

FrankTheHealer ,

Good.

FrankTheHealer ,

Tony’s is fucking great chocolate

FrankTheHealer ,

It’s one of those ones where you have to install niche software and then not keep an eye on what your system is actually doing, isn’t it?

FrankTheHealer ,

This is interesting, but help me understand, does hypercursor not allow animated cursors?

EA just added classics like Dungeon Keeper, SimCity 3000, and Populous on Steam (www.theverge.com)

There hasn’t been a lot of good news out of EA lately, but here’s some: the company just launched a bunch of classic games on Steam. The new (old) releases include nine games in total, spanning franchises like Dungeon Keeper, Populous, and SimCity....

FrankTheHealer ,

That is so fucking annoying. How they gonna say you can’t play a game that you bought.

Ffs.

I was having similar issues with Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam. Like RDR2 is still a great game but that DRM bullshit can go fuck itself.

FrankTheHealer ,

Imagine seeing Christian-American or Atheist-American lol

FrankTheHealer ,

Fuck organised religion.

FrankTheHealer ,

This feels illegal. Like it’s probably not, but it should be.

FrankTheHealer ,

Lemmy users bookmarking /c/piracy is coming too

FrankTheHealer ,

I did the same for a while but then I was on Holliday in Italy and it was painful trying to get the internet fast enough to stream my media over tailscale.

So now instead, I just keep everything on a laptop running Kodi and if I’m going somewhere, the laptop goes too. No worrying about internet connectivity or bandwidth. Just content ready to go.

I get that this doesn’t work for everyone’s use case. But I thought I’d share anyway.

FrankTheHealer ,

Strogging these beefs

FrankTheHealer ,

Wait, so if I get a 144hz monitor, only now will that work in say, standard Fedora or Ubuntu?

FrankTheHealer ,

Ah that makes sense. Thank you for the info

FrankTheHealer ,

I feel like it’s just bad journalism than boring dystopia tbh.

FrankTheHealer ,

That’s a fair point.
