This is the first comment about switching to Linux that makes me feel positively about the idea

Wait, you have to pay to use your phone as a hotspot?!

While I understand that others have different priorities with phones, I've never quite understood why Lemmy is so enraged by the absence of a headphone jack...

I prefer wireless headphones. When I had wired headphones I used to regularly yank my phone off the counter when cooking, or try to walk away from my desk while tethered by a cord.

If I did ever need to use wired headphones, using an adapter isn't that big a deal to me. Although I'd probably have to use a magnetic adaptor so that when I inevitably forget that I'm connected to it and walk away, my phone/entire desktop doesn't come with me.

Since I watched Series 4 in 2021, I don't think a week has gone by that I haven't watched an episode, or at least a clip, of some iteration of Taskmaster.

Jesus. I'm extremely ashamed that I've never questioned the whale narrative before...

Thank you!

Yeah, a channel I follow has grown and pivoted from "making a video when they have a topic they care about", which was still quite frequent, to "scheduled biweekly videos on a topic interesting to the widest audience" and it's really killed the magic.

Like, their choice and I wish them well, but it's not for me anymore.

Australia's federal legislation making non-consensual sharing of intimate images an offense includes doctored or generated images because that's still extremely harmful to the victim and their reputation.

I feel like the comparisons of chickens from the 1950s to those today really highlight this

I started seeing them in Sydney, like 3 months ago but suddenly they're everywhere and a store opened down the road from me.

And every time I see the name my brain pronounces BYD as "buy" with a "d" on the end and makes a stupid pun about purchasing one.

Yeah, plus it feels like the trends for my age group are just the trends from younger people, but with a slight delay

Thanks for sharing! I ended up following it up with the video this creator did on BluScutti and this top comment from BluScutti himself genuinely made me tear up a bit:

"Amazing video scout! Its amazing to be in one of your videos since your videos are what got me into the Tetris scene in the first place."

Just fucking cool

I'm from Australia; Everyone I know will default to public transport when travelling. My partner and I normally book our accommodation with public transport in mind.

Using a different public transport system is really not that big a deal...
