That is the only thing I like about chat-based communities. It is nice to have a way to catch up, if I want to, from where I left. Cannot be done with modern links aggregators

One of my favorite facts is that while the first pyramids were being built, there were still Mammoth roaming some northern European regions (never checked whether this is true or not but I’ve heard it so many times that I want to believe it is true)

Yes, it’s typical of these people to believe/say that in society ideas are exchanged on a fair playground, while in reality the discussion is gamed in favor of the power that be from the start. Durov like many other knows this damn well but “free speech” is a selling point for Telegram and Durov is a propagandist as much as Kirk, that also believes in competition as the driving force of any kind of progress, so it’s not really surprising to hear these words spent in favor of a “debater” like Kirk. He could have just shut the fuck up though, like he does with all the other political activists murdered by their own governments and not by the hatred they caused

I have a box of Ena too but I do not remember where I bought it. As far as I remember the cards set is slightly different but yeah, basically the same game

Do you think this qualifies as maladaptive daydreaming?

That is their appeal :) Solo on the beach for some reason is more aesthetically pleasing than Uno

Nice, thanks for the suggestion :)

Right, I will try to look for some options in the developer settings

Edit: there are a bunch of bt-related settings in the Dev options menu, most of them are about audio codec, AVRCP/MAP versions, Bluetooth LE, and other options, but unfortunately nothing that sounds like what I’m looking for :')

Hmm that’s weird. I bought my Pixel 5 in 2023, the bluetooth devices I own are the same I was using with my previous phone (mostly, four devices: the car’s bt-aux adapter, bt speaker, headphones, cool headphones), and they all used to re-connect automatically. Now none of them does lol so I assumed it was an issue with the phone

Follow up on the 🇷🇴 elections topic. Tweet from George Simion:

🇷🇴 I officially ask Constitutional Court TO ANNUL Romanian presidential elections (May 2025). For the very reasons December elections were annulled: EXTERNAL INTERFERENCES by state and non-state actors. This time proven with evidence! Neither 🇫🇷, nor 🇲🇩, nor anyone else has the right to interfere in the elections of another state.

To all Romanians: ask urgently the Constitutional Court to annul this farce. We will not give up and we will not betray! This is only the beginning of a great victory!

Durov’s reply:

I’m ready to come and testify if it helps Romanian democracy.

aaaah you’re right! The Italian translation was a little weird :)

oh, yeah, I received the same message 6 dyas ago :D forgot about it already

I’m out of the loop: what happened with this Nicole?

Yeah, also they’re a good way to privately (that is, not in the comments of a public post) exchange another communication channel

I am in a similar position, yes. I’ve resisted for so many years, but Instagram right now is the only place where some of the local organizations I’m interested in post. Clubs, town events, even leftist social centers who are usually sensible to online privacy and megacorp dependence sometimes only have an instagram or facebook page.

Right now I have a text note with the urls to the websites of the instagram pages that don’t have a newsletter/RSS feed. And another note with the link to their instagram pages, that I sometimes check out. Luckily you still don’t necessarily need to login to access an account’s recent posts from the browser, so as long as you periodically clear your cookies, a browser will do.

I also have been trying to convince some of these pages to create an account on Mastodon or use Gancio, if available. Even a Telegram channel would suffice. Some of them (two) did, but stopped to update it after a few months because most reach comes from facebook/instagram and they won’t bother to post stuff on another platform

It depends on what you want to edit :P if you just need the basics (sketching, filetrs, resizing, cropping, converting, combining, etc), try ImageToolbox
