It turned out to be legitimate

your comment is a moot point. i was saying that it could be private and while it is probably mostly associated with people trying to purchase illegal goods crypto tumblers are a thing so that is something that can anonymize your crypto. also, you can’t pay with cash online so there is a utility of something that can facilitate anonymity in transactions online.

i don’t leave my car at the lube shop, once i watched the mechanics lock the keys inside the vehicle in the bay next to me. they were able to get it open, but i was glad i stayed in my car, even though it was hot that day. i like to see what they’re doing and know that my keys are with me.

i suppose i should have said it could have had a purpose. i think it was initially conceived as a way to make private purchases, perhaps of things one might not want tracked back to them. for a simple example, i always pay cash when i visit a dispensary, even though many of them take cards now, because i don’t care for my bank to know that i am making that purchase. if i could pay with cryptocurrency at the dispensary, keeping that transaction more private, i would. but crypto has ceased to be a private currency, and turned into extremely volatile investments. who would want to make a purchase with crypto when it could skyrocket in value the next day and you’ve suddenly spent more than you thought, or the vendor has made less than they thought when the values plummet?

as it is now, it has no real purpose. it could have though. you are right that as it stands it is a solution looking for a problem.

right now it’s purpose is to tell me who i should avoid

interesting! I didn’t know they made those. is it bulky at all? my fiancée uses a pixel 5a, i wonder if she would be interested in that.

i’m curious that you found the iphone magsafe to be weaker, in my opinion it’s just right, strong enough to hold, but not so strong that i struggle to take it off. were you using it directly on the iphone or did the iphone have a case on it? it might not have been a magsafe compatible case. but i’m speculating of course.

integration with the ecosystem. i have a mac, ipad, apple watch, airpods. it’s all so seamless. i can use my watch to ping my phone when i lose it in the blankets even when it’s on silent, i can copy text on one device and paste it on another, all my tab groups are on my computer, phone, and tablet and sync.

i like iOS. i had an ipod touch in the 2010s, so i’ve used it for over 10 years. i’m used to it, i know all the little tricks and shortcuts. i really like how it looks aesthetically.

magsafe. i don’t even use a wireless charger, but i have a magsafe pop socket, and it’s a game changer for me. i have small hands, and a pop socket is very convenient for me, but i don’t like that the regular ones take a lot of effort to remove, and sometimes i want my phone to lay flat, or need to remove the pop socket to put my phone in its dashboard grip. the magsafe pop socket holds strong enough to be effective, but can easily be removed when needed. unlike the pop socket that grips the side of the case, with the magsafe one my phone sits flat instead of wobbling when propped up.

i’m generally anti-crypto. i’m not against it fully, i think it has a purpose but that purpose is not unstable, highly volatile investments, meme coins, or play-to-earn games.

I definitely thought so! But I received a response from my trusted contact at the office and it was legitimate.

i save the ends with the leaves as a treat for my guinea pigs. they sure like them a lot more than i do

aww i have butterscotch too!! what a cutie you have!!

on mobile browser tap the hamburger menu on the top right. in that menu you should see a magnifying glass, tap it. that should open search, which has a drop-down to select between comments, posts, etc. you can also select to search subscribed/local/all

love how it’s looking!

I use memmy, and then use mobile safari only if i need to do something memmy can’t.

you can do this by swiping left on the comment you want to reply to

oh i just figured it out! swipe the comment to the left to reply!

I made a post a bit ago asking about comment replies, I’m guessing it’s not available in the app yet. I am able to upvote comments by swiping them to the right though

I thought airpods/cordless buds were stupid when they first came out, I thought I would instantly lose the buds. now I can’t live without them.

i love some MC against an HOA/condo board. beautiful kitty!

wow i’d never heard that this could be related to adhd! i definitely relate to this. i get unreasonably upset reading the news nowadays, and sometimes i get like intrusive thoughts about taking my anger out on those causing injustice.
