Android tried to trick me into giving away all my privacy by trying to sell me on how they'll use the information they get from spying on me to improve my phone and definitely not slow it way down, then they they said interest-based ads would somehow benefit me & definitely not freak me out! ๐

It took me several & a couple more hours to migrate my Google Photos over to OneDrive, & I did this as backup because OneDrive magically gave me 6 months of 50 GB storage free, then only $1.99 a month after that. It's good to have backup. Idon't hate Google but I prefer Microsoft just not Windows.
Same energy 2025! #BlueStorm #BlueStormComing 

Facebook-style meme that says "Marked safe from factory resets, " after I just pulled off several of them for running an incompatible DNS along with my VPN (ALT) 

Oh shoot I'm acting snarky, it's time to take my mood stabilizers
Threads is made by Meta, but unlike Facebook, Threads' algorithms will place you around people you have more in common with & are more likely to like. You can say fuck trump, but if you say that on Facebook they'll lock you out of your account for hours and I think Meta wanted more profit.
Why do something apps block their usage if you're running a VPN or DNS? I'm just going to uninstall and keep moving! If everyone did things fewer companies would have financial incentive to do that!
Samsung has a launcher called Dex, that emulates the layout of a Windows 11 computer without all the bullshit and over-complexity. It really enhances the enjoyability when you're on your tablet! I'm impressed!
I have this life handheld safety alarm that gets REALLY loud if you pull the string out, and I had to put a dab of super glue where the string met the device because one time I had one in my pocket go off while I was in line at the Walgreens pharmacy! I panicked and ran all the way out the door!
As for me, I'm still buying my miniature-sized accessories from # AliExpress and *still?* saving a ton of money!
You should really check out Openvibe! It's a social media game-changer! I almost want to keep it a secret! ๐ฏ

Waiting on my next electric bill because I only used a radiator-style space heater in one room with no furnace except those few days it was below 0ยฐ. This month, I decided I'm not running any heaters whatsoever! This is only possible because I live in a duplex. I'm gonna have a low electric bill!
It sucks that my period stopped for a long time and I was so thankful to finally hit menopause at 46 years old! Psyche! Regular again! The most awesome thing about getting old and my body is like, psyche, try to have a baby! Are you crazy? ๐๐ซ
I still can't figure out what you can buy with crypto currency except on the dark web probably.
It's been a long time since I've had to factory reset my devices & it's because I don't click links unless I 100% know are legit, I can't accidentally click on a malicious link because I set Tor as my default browser % nothing loads till I click connect. I use a VPN and DNS ad and malware blocker.
I've actually had really good luck with Microsoft Copilot AI. I used to do regular Bing searches for all my questions, which enivitably led me to questionable websites. Is it a safe websites? Am i going to wreck my device trying to answer my question?. I 100% don't have this problem anymore.
If Trump allows Musk to destroy Social Security and the lives of millions & millions of elderly & disabled Americans, that would be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It would finish him. He would lose an incredibly large base of elderly voters who proportionately have high voter tornout.
You know how your phone glitches because you have 23 tabs open? I was researching developer settings & discovered a way to have 20+ tabs open and not mess up your phone: Suspend Execution for Cached Apps. Enable this & it will freeze all the tabs you have open except for the front one. Way faster!
I've been listening to the Lil Peep station on Sirius XM and i gotta say, he wanted to die, he sang about dying young and half his songs prophesy his own death Such a sad story too,
he lived in in Skid Row in LA and suddenly he's rich & becomes an overnight sensation then he up and dies โน๏ธ
