Probably a whoosh, but I find this meme funny because about a month before the reddit protest, the was a pokemon go protest.

Niantic pretty much ignored public outcry much like reddit. They demolished remote raiding, which became popular during covid. This forced people, including those with disabilities, to pretty much obtain legendary pokemon in person.

This can be a huge task for those in rural areas and of course the disabled. Many rural areas just do not have enough of a community, or gyms, to meaningfully upgrade said legendary pokemon. Instead, Niantic gave preference to ~~(the $$$)~~ people it could glean location data from, typically those in a city.

Many people, we're very disappointed and left pokemon go as a result.

I wonder if the two companies worship the same evil deity or something, jeeze...

Maybe it's the browser (on vivaldi on android) I'm using, and part user error. If it errors out, it still keeps the comment, but im also used to lemmy throwing an error and then still posting, so I hit back to double check, and if I return my comment is gone and I have to restart. The comment does turn into the post in front of my eyes, so maybe I should trust it.

I also have trouble when I add pictures, the add picture box doesn't go away unless i click off the "popup," if that's what you want to call it, sometimes I'll just hit the wrong button, cause everything is tiny, and it will jump to another page all together and when I get back, I have to start over.

Beside the obvious don't reddit, it happens alot in the kbin (web app) and lemmy apps too.

I've taken to stopping to randomly copy my comments to the clipboard, or if it's an extra long response, writing it in a different app and then copy pasting it.

I remember somewhere, I believe it was the congressional hearings where they called all the heads of the biggest companies to testify for something...a couple years ago...when Bozos refused to show.

Well, anyways, a congressman asked Zuckerberg why this happens because he doesn't appreciate them listening, through his phone microphone, to conversations hes having. Zuck replies that the algorithm knows you so well, that it pretty much predicts what your going to say at the exact time you say it...were definitely not listening to you from your phone speaker, he says, thats technology we just dont have.

Or something to that effect. 🤨

No, we cant rely on it to fix our problems. Hell if anything it will adapt and then get exploited later on. Humans just ruin everything...

I wish we were better and hope that we will do a 180 and try to preserve what is left, but I wouldnt bet on it.

As much as I'm genuinely fearful of what we are going to endure in the coming years, especially the next generation, part of me feels like we deserve what we get. All we can do is prepare the best we can, cross our fingers, and ride the ride.

It's pretty shitty that we're taking everything else down with us, but it does give me hope that maybe nature will surprise us, and not all will be lost, even if it seems that way.

Does it help that the phytoplankton may adapt?

I mean yeah, it's in a controlled environment, but it seems like encouraging news?

Ok, look, i have about 300 of these. One for almost every day of the week. Lady (no, not me) is always making an excuse to leave early or not come in at all. Does it piss some people off? Sure, but nobody has stopped her yet.

Or they're constipated...

Konjac is supposed to help with cholesterol and acne too.

But mainly constipation.

I would maybe check out Hiking project if your in North America. It looks really similar to all trails, except you have to download particular areas. The drawback is that the user input is almost nonexistent on smaller, local trails. More popular trails have some good info though. This definitely seems like it has promise.

Then theres Farout (formerly guthook) - I've heard this app mentioned alot as the preferred way to navigate trails like the AP or CDT. It costs money, and it's not cheap, but you can download the app and continue as a guest and check put some of the free maps they provide.

Nah. I only leave a trickle down the side at the most. And I ALWAYS make sure to clean it up.

Unless your incapacitated, it's just not right to leave it for someone else to do.

Dude, that would be so beyond. Some ritual offering that has to take place to appease the diety that that keeps our shite company in business. Here, we offer you, o' holy one, some...piss. Come to think of it, it did start after the buyout.

There would be a special place in hell for those guys.

Nah, it just shows I'm really just a bad judge of character, and slightly prejudiced. Just cause the guy can't see his dick while he's tinkling, doesn't mean he can't aim.

What exactly are you referring too?

This man, per the comment section, picks up stray animals, and gives them a home. And then there's a donkey. He mentions that there's wild animals that come through there that he considers his pets.

He's not trapping and selling them. If he was, he would have electricity.
