Redditors, that’s what the upvote button is for. No need for posting comments that are essentially just “^this”
At least the other child comment is adding their 2¢ to the suggestions

I honestly don’t mind it normally, but I need the noise cancelling headphones for the losers that blast their shitty soundcloud-tier music off their phone speaker
I hate dog owners letting their dogs piss on my mom’s lawn, killing the grass by the sidewalk. When I walk to work in the morning, in NYC I hate dodging piss on the sidewalk as if I’m in SanFran dodging needles.
Do what it takes to pass your classes in university, but prioritize finding an internship or entry level job for your career. No one cares about your GPA, but all entry level jobs want experience.
To avoid the chicken-and-egg problem of graduating and never getting a job because they want experience, and you can’t get the experience unless they give you a job, get an entry level job in college and try to get extra responsibilities in that job for your resume.

Sync because I had huge preference for apps that followed MD3/Material You. I wish it had an inline comment editor for replying in the middle of threads, that was my only missing feature. Slide did the inline editor nicely.
They do collect it, and use it for their own marketing platform
Right
but they don’t sell/trade it
Then what are they collecting it for? To line their servers? It’s being used to train services, and those services that have ads have those ads targeted using the data collected in the first sentence I quoted.
In fact they DO anonymise the data they collect
So does google. Again, to the broader thread audience replying to my original comment, what is the difference?
None of the major players literally sell your true name and address. All mask the data, and then do stuff with it like create trends to know which ads to display to “users that search for tiktok on the app store/play store”
Nope, Apple sells your data just as much as Google does: https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/apple-ad-revenues-skyrocket-amid-its-privacy-changes https://www.vox.com/recode/2022/12/22/23513061/apple-iphone-app-store-ads-privacy-antitrust#luMMel
While people noticed their new policies against 3rd party apps, that masked the fact that those policies carved out an exception for first party apps, meaning they collect (anonymous) data on you through Health, Journal, Music, etc. just like every other company. “Trusting them more” is simply a result of you and everyone else getting hit with their privacy ads recently.
Edit: “just like every other company” meant Google and Microsoft, i.e. the other big equivalent tech companies, my fault for not being specific.
Obviously, making more than minimum wage is ideal in life. As long as you’re doing that, your career choice doesn’t have to be something you love more than free Saturdays.
The biggest thing for that to become true is to learn how to save and limit spending. If you make 200k and spend 195k on luxury car leases and other crap, you’re doing the same as a person who makes 45k and spends 40k. Yes the person “making more” has those things, but they’re just as beholden to their job as the 2nd person, and stuff doesn’t make you happy in the end.
On Reddit, I’d normally point ppl to /r/financialindependence but here there is !fire@lemmy.ml which isn’t as active.
The learning curve to joining the fediverse filters out your average facebook/twitter type that Reddit is filled with today.
Let’s call a spade a spade lol this is honestly it.
For many years I always did this for my own android phone in Tasker, and more recently Samsung Modes&Routines, but thank you for this as I just realized I never did the same for my wife’s iPhone
Lurked for a week and left, userbase was way too low. More new topics this past week than an entire month last time I logged on 2 years ago! I love it here now
This is actually the real reason I joined Lemmy. I joined Reddit back in 2012 and as it grew, it slowly became the crapshoot it is today with memes. Shit, remember when comment replies of just “🤣🤣🤣” was literally THE definition of a downvote-able comment? “Adding nothing to the discussion”
I’m SO happy to get away from the shitposts, and hope the lack of ease of joining the fediverse stays as a barrier against users who post that crap, and they remain on Reddit and TikTok.
This is what I’m resorting to. Instead of pirating Lightroom, I’m using RawTherapee for my (non-professional) photo editing of my x100t photos. In the old days, I’d have done it (I still have a very old version of LR exe in one of my hard drives) but today I’d rather not have a ton of keygens and crap on my laptop.
They can be very handy for context, or even fun. For example, I have my “Galaxy Note 20” flair on /r/Android so anyone seeing my comments can know I am speaking from a Samsung phone perspective without me having to state that each time. On /r/nba people have their preferred team set as flair so others can shittalk back to them based on what team they follow, which is a lot of the fun of /r/nba.
There are many more examples in the different subreddits I would frequent, but regardless, I would definitely like community-specific flair options on the Lemmy instances. For example, the option to have your preferred distro as a user flair on !linux@lemmy.ml
