I’ve had a bunch of curse words in there for months but they refuse to show up in swiping or predictive text

I know that’s rarely the goal, but maybe it should be more of the goal. Sick of every app and webpage having these yawning chasms of useless white space

For the love of Christ how do I change the FUTO dictionary to recognize curse words?? It’s so unnecessarily puritan

Oh neat

They only care about profitability

It’s not even profitability. It’s about what looks good on a resume.

New projects look good. Maintaining old projects doesn’t.

Wait mine does that automatically, it’s actually pretty creepy and I’ve been meaning to figure out how to disable it or at least make it ask for permission

Everyone insisted that it was “easy”. I’ve come to realize this community is heavily developer-based and completely unaware of what they average person would consider easy.

This is applicable to every piece of advice I’ve gotten from lemmy and from reddit before it.

No, I can’t work from home.

No, I don’t have a raspberry pi and I don’t know how one works.

I don’t know what podcast you’re talking about.

I have to fight to prevent my eyes glazing over when you say apk.

If you link me to something and it’s just a list of the latest bugfixes without even a summary of what the fucking software IS, I won’t understand.

Poor people are not scary. Some of them wear glasses too.

I don’t even HAVE a PC, just a laptop that I carry with me.

You lost me at “terminal”.

I don’t know what any of those acronyms and abbreviations you’re using mean.

I see articles all the time that don’t specify the country.

I think that would be a good blanket rule for every post. If it’s a news article, list the country.

It’s more about the early 20s people I may or may not interact with.

Had a potential tinder date mention bubble color. That saved me an evening of finding out how stupid they were.

Yeah but typically when people come into these threads going “huhuhu stupid Americans with their SMS” it turns out they’re on WhatsApp, like much of the rest of the world. Which is just hilariously stupid.

There should probably be a sticky post on every article about anything US related. Something like,

“DEAR NON-AMERICANS (ESPECIALLY EUROPEANS). THIS ARTICLE IS ABOUT AN AMERICAN PHENOMENON. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO COME INTO THIS THREAD AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND IT. YOU MAY SIMPLY MOVE ON. CHEERS.”

Seriously, it’s a good 1/4 of the posts.

Teens have no idea what privacy is.

It’s fun because “clothes” and “accent” can be verbs, and given their position in the clause it almost looks like they should be but then you realize it makes no sense.

The important thing is you get to act superior about it.

The good news is GenZ seems to direct their stupidity towards good things, mostly. They’re not racist or sexist or greedy etc. They try to help and improve the world. They effect change through sheer firepower.

The bad news is that stupid people are easily manipulated, and as soon as the boomers die off, zoomers will be the next target.

SMS > Facebook

Why the FUCK does the iphone not have a fucking BACK button? I have to search around to find the right button to hit to go back? Because it’s different in every page in every app, sometimes it’s “cancel”, sometimes it’s not even a button, I have to swipe down the keyboard or something. Fucking ridiculous, I hate iOS.

It’s 2023 get a fucking back button.

It’s a pretty good filter. Anyone who cares about the color of text bubbles is not worth talking to.

USA still uses SMS for a variety of reasons.
