I think US tax department explicitly states that you must state any income you obtained through illegal means in your tax returns.

Hate to be pedantic. But it’s “Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so”

That feels wrong! Also what’s the scale of the banana in your picture? 2 bananas?

If you worry that you may be a psychopath, you’re not one!

You’d have framed this question differently. You’d be putting the blame on the other person

“Why is he/she stupid enough to think I’m gaslighting? Can’t they grow up?”

I’m in my late 20s and I’m on the same boat. Especially when it comes to politics. People are often much more than their politics. Unless they’re in the extreme horizontals of their beliefs.

That nice barista at the coffee shop? Could be a liberal. The dude at the office who held the elevator for you? Could be conservative. That’s just the way it works

What I’ve often found is that even seemingly harmless addictive behaviours leave lasting impressions on my personality. My two addictions I’m trying to quit are porn and nicotine gums.

Porn was just taking up too much of my time and energy. Especially since I was working from home. I’d be in meetings with my camera and mic off browsing some weird nsfw on reddit. Stopped cold turkey and it feels amazing tbh

Nicotine gums stay on for now. This is one addiction which has actually provided me an unintended benefit. My jawline improved drastically over a year! But I hope one day I can be comfortable sitting with myself idle not wanting to compulsively do anything!

I live in Bangalore, India. The local language here is Kannada but I don’t speak it nor do I have many friends who speak it. I named my cat Bacardi and would call him Bacoo. Turns out the word for cat in the local language is also “Bacoo”. So for any local who saw me interact with my cat, it looked like I was calling my cat “cat”! I found out around a year later!

You joke. That’s not what I meant and if Apple did make an app it wouldn’t be Open Source.

But Apple does contribute to Open Source. They collaborated with KDE back when Microsoft was making fun of Linux

One amazing RSS app I recommend to all Apple users is NetNewsWire. It’s Open Source and works very well. If Apple ever built an RSS reader, it’d be like this. It uses iCloud to sync between devices.

Lets you use a reader mode where it fetches readable content from the URL instead of just reading from the xml file.

And is very simple. If you use something like Feedly, it also works very well as a client for such services. I started using it like that, later just started using iCloud instead of Feedly

After trying multiple apps to sort my budgeting situation. I finally decided to create a solution that involves default Numbers + a shortcut to add row to the end of sheet. Now that shortcut lives on my homescreen. This is by far the best personal budgeting solution I’ve used. And I put it all together in 20 minutes!

I use iMessage to text my close friends. But I live in a country where WhatsApp is a verb.

So I do end up using WhatsApp and in my experience, it’s already riddled with

I don’t see how it can be any worse tbh. Instagram ads are way better imo.

I do. Especially compared to a company like Amazon. Google’s alternatives to Amazon’s are almost always better and has better UI/UX.

But Amazon knows the market and whatever bs they stitch together ends up being the more popular option.

What I have in mind are GCP vs AWS, Kindle vs. Play Books, etc

I don’t know if Android users in here understand how flawless this works on iOS+mac. All I need to activate this is have my phone nearby and turn my locked phone to landscape mode. No need to even unlock my phone or connect it to my laptop.

I was blown away by how “automatic” it felt!

It used to be very common in Tamil Nadu for an uncle to marry his niece. So common that the word for uncle (mama) can be used interchangeably with groom

I’ve been on Internet too long that I still don’t know which side you stand on. And that’s exactly the issue.

This is a very complicated problem. Not as straightforward as either side thinks.

Heavily politicised issue though. Imo, the whole trans issue should’ve never been politicised.

what do you mean? mini was released alongside all other iPhone 12s

it’s up to them tbh. Things like Lemmy are ultimately ways to build your own forums. Whether they want to be part of the federation or keep it hidden is their choice. But I guess there’d be some way to build a browser extension to figure out if the website is using any popular fediverse platforms (mastodon, lemmy, etc.)

To be fair, the founder of the business, Byju, used to be a very ordinary school teacher and then he built this whole thing. Not family-owned, nor born rich.

Fuck their business practices though

Hmm. Not really tbh. As long as it doesn’t inject ads on to the web page (like Edge did to Download Chrome page) I’m fine.
