It’s my wife and me in front of the Magic Kingdom. Then I used an AI app to convert us to Muppets. I then used the iPhone wallpaper filters when putting it on my home screen.

Yep, I’m grown man with us as Muppets on my phone.

It’s futball. 🤣

Spyware takes up space, comrade.

Aww, I thought it was football. But it’s futball.

Feels like I’m being bullied in renewing.

Oh, make no mistake about it, you absolutely are. But OP asked about free options, and Spotify is one. A bad one, but still one.

I just can’t root for the Chargers because of Jim Harbaugh. He cheated to win the national championship last year, got no penalty, and was rewarded with a lucrative NFL contract.

I’m rooting for the earth to open and swallow them both whole.

Doesn’t Pandora & Spotify have free tiers with ads?

There’s probably a team out there that will take a flyer on him, but I don’t see it. He may not be washed, but he’s definitely lost a few steps. Between his reduced playing ability, his personal antics, his failure to take any accountability, and the way he’s quick to throw everyone else - players and coaches alike - under the bus, he may be too toxic.

I was going to do it as a side hustle, but then I found out that I would have to change the type of car insurance I have, and my rate would go up. If I didn’t and had an accident while delivering, my insurance company would 100% deny all claims - assuming they found out I guess. I wasn’t willing to risk it , and the higher premium cost made it unprofitable.

I’m a simple man, I will inhale some Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. They’ve recently come out with the Chocolate Lava Big Cups, and those are going to be the death of me!

Man, Arizona St. just looks completely overmatched.

Ha ha, jokes on you. I’ve been paying a gym membership for years but never go!

Gotem!

I was on .world too, but I’m from Georgia, so I like being on yall.theatl.social much better. It’s a smaller, more tight knit community, and it’s in Atlanta, so it’s more-or-less local for me.

Yeah, I’m old. When I was in high school, I was required to take a typing class before I could take a computer class. A computer class on the Apple ][e. (I said I was old!) On a typewriter, it was correct to add 2 spaces after a period, and that’s how I learned. I did it on the computer for a long time, but I eventually broke the habit. It wasn’t easy to break that muscle memory though!

I used Apollo to browse Reddit. It was really a great app, and it made browsing Reddit enjoyable. The dev, Christian, listened to his users, frequently updated and improved the app, was active in the subreddit, and seemed to care about making it a positive experience. It really was like being a part of a club.

It wasn’t just that Reddit shut down the API, but the way they boldfaced lied about Christian and their interactions with him. He was feverishly in talks with them to save the app, but Reddit not only wasn’t negotiating in good faith, but even worse, lying about the interactions to try to smear Christian and make him look like the villain. It was then that I knew that Reddit would never be the same, and I started looking for alternatives.

I tried several, but Lemmy seemed to be the closest to Reddit and scratched the itch. Not only that, an amazing dev created Voyager, which is heavily inspired by Apollo, (pretty much a direct copy), and makes me feel at home. There’s not as many communities here as subreddits over there, but I have curated a great Home feed, which includes most of my interests and that I enjoy browsing. I can honestly say the comments here are much better and more authentic. On the whole I get real replies and have better conversations instead of trolls and confrontations like I frequently did at Reddit. I do stop in over there sometimes out of boredom and browse, but it’s really not the same as before. (And maybe it is, and I was just fooling myself and not seeing it.) I don’t think I’ve posted or commented on Reddit since Apollo died except on live sports game feeds, which I do miss over here. I found a regional instance that I like, and, on the whole, I really enjoy it here.

TLDR: API killed Apollo.

I play on my laptop through Chrome. At the end I click the share button, and it wants to share through email. I let it open a new message, copy the contents, delete the message, and paste it here.

I’m not sure how others do it, but this is how I do.
