the new apple watch siren isn't loud enough to be called a siren tbh. it's pretty quiet.

@xorman on second thought i have a new criterion to add: "must not be named after goblins"

the noose tightens further. mint mobile will not issue you a free isim (required for using service on a sim-free iphone 14) without a payment card on the account, even if you have purchased a prepaid activation kit. the payment card is not charged, esims are free.

@xorman thank you, i may end up having to use this (terrible 90s UI and all) simply because the alternatives suck so bad

i watched a random youtube recommendation today and i think Morgan Eckroth is my new celebrity crush

@mergan i actually do this but it's 1000 years which conveniently is time enough for plastic to biodegrade

@meredith as far as i can tell pretty much 100% of everyone here can't hear a fuckin' thing i say to them

@mike my first thoughts are that its table stakes features (full res sync) are paid features - and not just paid features, but *subscription* features. i use a new apple id on each device i use, and this means i now have to pay either $7/year or $24/device. this requires purchasing gift cards because payment cards link my identity to the apple id/device.

eth is $1337

the mobile phone with the best camera hardware available does not allow e2e encrypted syncing of the photos you take on the device. you have to use icloud photos. icloud photos are not end to end encrypted so apple and the fbi can read them all.

does anyone know of any photo sync apps for ios that work continuously that can talk to my own devices?

i really really really miss syncthing on mobile. it's the only thing i truly miss from graphene.

i want to publish my photos. i'd like to do so in a beautiful way, on my own website, managed via a web backend. i'd like to do so without any dependencies on google, without using php, and in a way that supports either rss or activitypub or both.

is selfhosting pixelfed my best bet? is there like an open source flickr clone?

@fediverse use misogynistic language on the internet like the millions of others in this situation. then go upstairs and help your mom fix dinner.

i am unable to understand the angle being pushed by western media that says putin/russia benefits strategically from the destruction of those gas pipelines. russia is a petrostate and not being able to sell gas hurts the nation directly and indirectly.

@hans you are unfamiliar with my network or browser configuration

it is becoming impossible to use ebay with a vpn, much like etsy and most event ticketing websites.
