Nah, Facebook and Instagram are the worst. Facebook is some ad riddled, AI slop, filled late stage capitalism hellscape. Worth not using just for mental health.

Honestly I have stopped using the play store for my pixel. But it’s also a bigger trend of no longer allowing apps on my phone other than essentials. Fuck these leaches.

God PayPal has always been the scum of the earth and only gotten worse over time. 😡

Really hated when they started adding auto play of another unrelated podcast when my current podcast ends, like I don’t want your shitty podcast selection Spotify. The enshitification of the web continues.

I been getting those as well. Like the whole advertisement is for not ads, yet ads!? Wtf

I agree with the healthier environment, it’s kind of nice being able to make a comment and have people actually see it rather than there being 2k+ comments. It’s a small community but I don’t mind that and it’s actually good in that I don’t doom scroll as much cause there just isn’t enough content, so I don’t spend hours on it.

And my axe

I have Llama 2 running on localhost, you need a fairly powerful GPU but it can totally be done.
