Whoever it is, I would like to speak to their manager

Nah that’s different as well. What they are filtering out is

• a mouse teleporting to the exact center of the checkbox
• a mouse smoothly gliding in a straight line to the center if the checkbook
• a mouse traveling in a straight line to the center of the checkbook with some momentary stutters to add noise

Et cetera. Humans are much noiser than anything a python script will spit out. Of course there are ways to get around this, like recording and reenacting a human mouse movement, but the point of any capcha system is to make it significantly more difficult to bot, not impossible.

Pretty much everything I liked as a kid I am lukewarm to now. However, there are a number of kid’s books that I didn’t “get” as a kid that I adore now

Most people cannot see lemmygrad

In all seriousness, if you want to be helpful the best thing you can do is spend some time with him in person. He can tell you what he needs, and you can show him you care. If I got seriously crippled like this I probably would start thinking that none of my friends will make time for me because I have become a burden. Prove that nasty self-talk wrong!

Ublock origin

When I was twelve, I was bicycling downhill on a residential street, and while I was talking to a friend beside me I slammed into the back of a parked jeep at full speed. Looking back on it, I definitely had a concussion, but I think the spare tire on the back spared me from the worst possibilities of my bad decisions

Earlier today I tried to swat a fly with my car door, but since I was looking down at the fly I only managed to slam that door into my head with all my strength, stunning me for several seconds

Unfortunately, Victoria’s Secret is the men’s version of Victoria’s Secret.

Yes. But is it moral? Also yes. Will you get sued? Almost certainly not.

User error

In all seriousness, the biggest benefit of apple products is that the user experience just does not change over time. They are very conservative with the changes they do make, even though they will hype them up as the next big revolution in computing. It just seems arcane to you because you aren’t used to it. Apple is great for old people because things stay the same forever

Edit: I reread your comment and realized I completely misunderstood you. Yeah, apple is super behind and is lacking basic features for the reason I just mentioned. For a while you couldn’t even copy/paste on the iPhone. Really dumb imho. But the good thing is that things look the same forever, so you never have to be confused by your phone’s layout changing when you get a new phone.

I think the strongest feature of Android is that many apps are released first on Android and take months or years before they are ported to iOS. And even when they do, they are missing functionality I take for granted on Android. iOS is in fact more secure in general (if we assume Apple is altruistic) but this comes at the cost of basic things like apps running in the background, informative notifications and notification history, spam call filtering, and fast charging.

Also, if you are a normie it’s a big plus to have all the default Google apps pre-installed on most phones. If you aren’t, it’s a big plus to have the freedom to strip all non-foss apps from your phone, replace the OS with a more FOSS-friendlt OS, and otherwise customize your phone.

If it’s acting weird, assume it’s got a parasite.

Most the really chaotic ones are on Lemmygrad. Which is why nearly everyone defederated from them

Holy crap why have I never thought of this

Kbin’s equivalent of communities are magazines. Similarly, Masodon’s equivalent are Groups.

My retort was in fact a joke. I am terminally online and even I only average about 6 hours. But thank you

Edit: Just checked, my average screen time this week was about 7 hours per day.

you tend to have your phone off most of the time

Bold assumption

You mean We Have America At Home?

I think the only way to have “enough” money is to practice gratitude. Being poor is defined by stress, of course; I am not gonna tell you that your problems are all in your head. But when you get a better paying job, it’s easy to thoughtlessly spend more money and still end up feeling poor. So, don’t just excitedly spend all that money. Take a good look at what you appreciate about your current life and what you are proud of, and do what you need to cultivate these good things. Sometimes it is surprising how many of those things are free. Sometimes they need a bit of money to grow.

The other thing is that each time you cross a moral line, it gets easier to do so again. This is why i do not drink and will never drink. I think the same goes for accepting sponsorships from tobacco companies and other kinds of corruption. And of course being rich naturally shields you from the consequences of these decisions if you let it.
