It’s toned down since 23andMe was new, but I absolutely know people that will regularly call themselves by whatever European group they think gives them character.

I always ask if they have an EU passport.

2018-2019 is when they officially turned the corner and decided to focus only on ad revenue. But the SEO abuse dove it into the ground by 2014ish. They were making money enough to expand by orders of magnitude into other areas, so they simply didn’t want to tweak their search or strategy and kill their golden goose that funded things like Good Drive and their shit social network and loon, etc.

Don’t insult this cat!

My, my. Look at all the open source, privacy focused period trackers in the Fdroid store.

There’s a good chance another seagull ate the body before it was even cold.

Can’t happen fast enough.

I’ve modded some small but active enough to need real coverage subs on reddit. It’s a real job. People are too weird to self-moderate.

It was my first Lemmy love.

All us babies here smoking cigars and betting on horses like some Fediverse Baby Herman army.

Uh…I mean 225 backup plans! Yeah.

And 2 to 5 backup plans.

Caffeine is the only positive codependent addiction ever recorded.
