The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today

It’s cute and silly.

Spy x Family is a fun watch. Watched S1, S2 and the movie a bit ago. Waiting for a few more S3 episodes to release before I start watching it.

It’s not very good 😅

Thanks for introducing me to CopyParty!

I’m not going to pretend the data is safe—it will disappear eventually.

That’s what’s valuable, yeah. Lots of great posts that I don’t want to be lost.

But, it’s not like we lost everything that was produced in that community overnight, even with the server going offline.

Fair.

I did create a list of all posts submitted to !spotifyplaylists@lemm.ee at !spotifyplaylists@lemmy.world so that all those valuable posts are not lost.

I mark an email as unread when I need to get back to it — basically using it as a to-do list.

I believe they’re the same app just with different logos.

The Dark Side Of The Moon – Immersion Box Set over a decade ago in an online contest. Wasn’t super familiar with Pink Floyd at the time so I didn’t think much of it.

Pause your YouTube watch and search history. It makes a world of a difference.

I like videos I care about and want to see more of. Watching a single junk video (in theory) doesn’t ruin my feed.

Here’s the thing – I really like Google’s products. For the most part they make good stuff. Google Search at one point was great. YouTube for all its faults is an invaluable resource. Maps is critical to me for navigating and determining traffic on the way to somewhere. Android (when Google isn’t busy locking it down) is extremely powerful. I loved my Nexus 4 and love my Pixel 6a. The Android/Pixel-exclusive features are great party tricks and conversation starters – Call Screen, Now Playing, Emoji Kitchen on GBoard, etc. Chromecast is super handy.

In the end though, they’re an ad company, and to them I’m nothing but commodity. Every interaction or thought of mine is a resource for them to monetize and abuse, and that’s not something I am comfortable with.

I also do not want my entire life tied to a Google account. If anything ever happens to it, I don’t want to get locked out of everything.

I haven’t deGoogled completely. Going through the process slowly. For the services I’m still using, I have search history, location history, watch history, etc. disabled.

For apps:

• Chrome has been replaced with Firefox.
• Gmail app with Spark, but I’m in the process of moving away from Spark to K9 Mail (soon to be Thunderbird)
• Google Authenticator with Authy
• YouTube with NewPipe
• Google Keep with Standard Notes
• Google Photos with Simple Gallery (may have to look for a replacement soon since it was sold to a sketchy buyer)

Google Search was replaced with DuckDuckGo and Kagi. Gmail with a custom domain and Mailbox.org for hosting. I have a Nest Mini speaker with its mic turned off used exclusively for casting music.

I’m still using the Play Store because of paid apps, but if there’s a FOSS app I need, I get it from F-Droid.

The one service I’ve actually gone back to Google on is GBoard. Emoji Kitchen is far too good for me to give up right now.

I’m still using stock Android because of the Pixel-exclusive features. I’ll maybe experiment with GrapheneOS in the future.
