Australian who can only communicate via emojis be like: 😢 🗝️🧉

According to Pew Research as of 20/08 this year around half of US adults say they use chatbots powered by AI, with around 24% claiming daily use! What the fuck? No one should be subjected to this but you CANNOT escape it. You can't disable AI results on Google, all phones come with AI now. Fuck OFF

We need to burn all AI to the fucking ground and stop building datacenters. hardware should not cost this fucking much. we cannot keep up with the demand for hardware to generate and to store all of the bullshit created by GenAI.

technology makes me unbelievably angry these days. we don't fucking need new tech. we already have amazing tech. have done for years! we need reliable, repairable tech that doesn't get replaced every fucking year. we need developers to give a fuck about optimising their software again.

A device should not need more than 16GB of memory just to have a few websites open. Electron and similar frameworks are a blight on humanity and should be burned to the ground. Tech consumerism is a fucking plague and it is killing the planet.

yeah fuck this pos phone. Don't ever get a Samsung A17. I get that it's an entry-level phone, but it costs more per month on contract than the pixel 8 when it was new and that is a vastly superior phone despite it being 3 years older. How the fuck did Samsung think 4GB of RAM would be okay in 2026?

gonna return it and shell out a bit more for something i know works well

If I have a music app playing in the background everything crawls to a halt. It's so slow that swiping up to go to the home screen registers so slowly that it opens Google Lens instead and then that extra process slows it further. It takes about 20s for that to resolve enough I can close it.

I regret not doing more research but I needed something quickly to replace the pixel 8 that got snatched and this was the most available option. Fucking waste of silicon, glass, and metal. It's worse than a paperweight. At least a paperweight doesn't make me want to throw it every 60 seconds.

Like, even after tweaking it to optimise it I can't even tab between my 2FA app and another app without it closing the session I am trying to log into. It is intolerable beyond belief. Phones released 4 to 5 years ago outperform it.

anyone wanna send me £475 (after postage)? I'll use it to take feet pics for you

I would let almost anyone hit if they got me the thing I yearn for the most: Helios 40-2 85mm f/1.5 M42

sheepies yearn for the Nikon F4s sheepies lament being unable to afford one 😭

hhhhhhh,,,,

sheepies also yearn for Pentax Spotmatic F but even those are out of sheepie budget (which is 0 for the foreseeable future)

btw all of the ingredients for this costs less than £10 and it's enough for at least 3 to 5 days of both me and my boyfriend eating it

hm... there's not enough soup, i think. 4.7 litres (5 quarts in freedom units) btw

i think i paid... £8 for everything? and that's from a little Sainsbury's because I did not have time to get the good ingredients from a better shop and the other places near my flat were closed after I finished work BC it's Sunday so it's even cheaper usually

someone send me a bigger pot for soup and I will absolutely make enough soup to fill it

i always go a bit soup crazy as soon as the leaves start to turn but also currently i am also motivated by wanting to give soup to the woman I'm dating (my rizz has no ceiling)

6 ingredients btw, not including seasoning, which consists of just salt, pepper, and bay leaves because that's all it needs baybeyyyy

if you leave me unsupervised in the month of october what happens is you get home and five to ten litres of soup has mysteriously manifested itself in the big cast iron Dutch Oven

i should note that the things i talk about in this thread do not map 1:1 if the relationship is long distance. There are a bunch of pitfalls that both look and feel a LOT like taking your time but they're traps! And navigating around them is not easy because they're haaaard to spot!!!

taking your time with dating is wonderful for many reasons you actually get to know each other and learn how well you fit together emotionally it gives you both time to figure out how you can fit into each other's lives you build much stronger foundations for a relationship at a comfortable pace

the wildest part about is the fact that the dutch oven has a capacity of 4.7 litres and yet somehow there's definitely 10 litres in there

in the kitched inn... straight up "sautéing it"... and by it? hehe, let's justr say... my 1 kilogram of leeks

i wonder if AI Chuds make the same "we can always tell" jokes we make about TERFs

realising that when life feels somewhat stable and I'm in general happy with how life is going I don't really enjoy sex with people for the sake of it. I absolutely LOVE having sex with people I'm involved with, but if I don't have that connection it's just kinda meh.

Not too long ago I was regularly hooking up with ppl and I'm realising it was escapism because I was stressed and depressed all the time and that was an easy way to get out of my own head

all of the things I've been talking about today brought to you by years of experience and introspection and many many mistakes I've learned from, some of them quite recent!

"let me gaggle on it" "don't you mean gag on it?" "no, i want me and a bunch of friends to gather around and honk at you incessantly"

you don't have to know everything, you don't have to know what you want, you just have to be an adult and willing work through it to figure it out

i get it can be hard! change is scary! it's easy to turn away and bury your head in the sand, but at the end of the day change is inevitable and if you run from it then other people will make the choice you're scared to address for you and I can assure you that you will not be happy with the outcome

if you're very similar people with a lot in common what can happen if you get swept up is you just go off of assumptions about things, and then you both build slightly different ideas in your heads and never talk about it

when those ideas inevitably clash it becomes very difficult to work through it because you don't actually understand each other and have 0 experience discussing and working through things together

i love it when people are capable of handling things like an adult. it's fucking refreshing.

to be clear: it's fine to have anxieties and insecurities, everyone does, but you gotta learn how to talk about them and work through them with people instead of just projecting and making assumptions about how people feel and reacting to that. you gotta learn that it's okay to seek reassurance.

tapping the sign i just made

being obssessed with each other is fun, it's exhilarating, and if you take your time then it doesn't fade because instead of coasting off of the intense momentum you built up early you're just maintaining the speed you've both reached together

it gives you time to figure out how you feel and what you want and it's much much easier to talk to them about those things and work together to build a relationship you're both happy with

not rushing to hit the milestones means when you reach them naturally they hit that much harder and gives you time to properly appreciate and enjoy the feelings if you get swept up your relationship can feel like it hits a plateau very quickly and it's very hard to go anywhere else from there

when you hit that plateau if you rush into things you'll inevitably end up finding someone new to be excited about because your mind is wired for thrill-seeking and the novelty of the new, or they will and you'll end up feeling left behind and abandoned because you no longer provide that excitement
