  • Wow. Not even an ad hominem, literally just blind judgement. You have no idea what interests me, and no way to tell how I have interacted with Pixelfed. You have no concept of the idea that some people are just not into the things you enjoy.

    Do you have any idea just how much content is out there in the world? You could browse through a petabyte of data and it could all be boring drivel to you because there are zettabytes of data out there in the internet. Some of it is bound to bore any random individual. That doesn’t preclude me from enjoying the entire rest of the internet.

    You remind me of people in red hats.









  • I think that we’re not actually disagreeing, if I’m reading this right. My point about social needs was mostly to do with social media. I could blab some science about how that affects our social needs, but that’s not what we’re really focused on from what I can tell.

    We’re both suggesting reducing/moderating our usage of corporat bullshit and particularly American corpos.

    However, there is one thing that I noticed which I feel like you misunderstand, or perhaps I misunderstand you.

    Stress and long hours in the job and they spent all their money in “stuff”

    These are definitely not social needs, but a symptom of the lack of social needs being met. Humans crave companionship, and many people seek that in their items. I think you and I are similar in seeing the absurdity in this, but it appears that you find it more annoying than I do. There is one more layer to this, though, which we’re probably intentionally ignoring; American corpos have monopolies in many areas. I know people who literally do not have access to anything other than corporations


  • But I was talking more in general

    You could have made that more clear. You came off quite pointed.

    Him or her

    Them is way easier to type and it’s more formal.

    I’m starting to get tired about the…

    Lost me. People are doing what they must to stimulate their social needs. Let me say that again social needs. It’s not an option for humans, we get depression and shit. We have to buy in to the bullshit at least a little bit because that’s the system we live in, the best we can do is change it from within or start a revolution. If you’re not starting the revolution, the best thing you can do is bitch about shitty circumstances until someone with the vindication does start the revolution




  • Ask yourself how you feel about this? How much would freedom, privacy, and anonymity be worth to you? Many realize the situation is dire, but are preoccupied with trying to survive the next rent payment, and are do not have the knowledge necessary to resist.

    You don’t need to bin your phone, you just need to start using it more strategically. Different phones for different things if you can, or move only absolutely necessary things to the phone and keep sensitive data elsewhere if not.

    ETA: Actually I just read some comments and apparently yeah OP thinks you should bin your phone


  • Those are the same buttons I saw.

    The export attachments I assume is intended to export the files you would upload, like scanned in service records and whatnot. Obviously, the demo throws a “no records” error (or however they phrased it). Presumably, they didn’t think about people wanting to test that feature and didn’t bother to upload attachments, but you could upload an attachment and then export it to test methinks.

    The reports, however is where you’ve confused me a bit. Mine defaults to exporting to PDF, which is definitely a meaningful format. You can convert it into anything
