Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

No torrenting. Stream a lot of music and video podcasts. My work truck is fancy enough to have CarPlay, so it gets used when I'm there. My personal vehicle has CarPlay as well.

Always streaming something just about, whether I'm paying attention or it's just background noise.

Im supposed to use an app to track my service calls, etc but I refuse to use the app, and instead use the web browser version of it a lot. Lots of photo uploads of work done, repairs, plans etc. the app has too many permissions I'm not ok with, and work pays for my cellphone so as long as I use the web version, which doesn't track, can't send push notices etc, they pay for it.

It isn't ideal, but it's 150+ a month I don't have to pay right now so I'm ok with it til something better comes along. Only leaves me paying for my kids phones monthly.
