Biden and Kamala were both overly happy at their speeches. It's unnerving.

Now? I wasn't aware they ever didn't.

I really hope this gets a proper foss "for you" algo. Personalized content and people discovery features are lacking on the fediverse.

Fyi you can still enable heuristic blocking from settings.

Why not just disable the Ubuntu pro ads in the mean time?

I closed my account when that Uber marketing exec got hired by PayPal. This was inevitable.

Israel has perpetuated 80% of the cross-border attacks for the past year, but sure please tell me again how Hezbollah, which was established as a direct result of Israeli aggression, are the ones who should stop. That's insane.

 
 

Personally, I want nothing to do with them and I'm not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. I moved to the Fediverse to get away from all these corpos.

 

I've long since deleted my other accounts but can't sign in to my main and oldest one because it can't "verify" me so I'm basically locked out even though I still have access to gmail via IMAP.

They usually force additional verification with a phone number/app but I intentionally never linked those to my account for privacy. My options are a random answer to a security question that I don't remember because I made it when I was barely a teen, or signing in from a "known location". You can't opt out of this this additional "security" or forced MFA bullshit and I certainly never opted in.

I've mostly moved away from using anything Google and have moved to more private and free alternatives like Proton, self-hosted, etc but I'm frustrated. I hate them so much on so many levels.

That's it, I'm not looking for advice or anything. I'll figure it out eventually. Just wanted to vent a little bit.
