Everyone is saying this, but I haven’t experienced it. Maybe y’all just really love fighting and ranting about politics and don’t want to see any dissenting opinions, whereas I don’t want any of that, so I block it all.

I’m not saying that they’re wrong, but it hasn’t noticeably happened to me. Except for when Elon force unblocked people. But then I went and blocked him again, and it stuck this time.

Facebook sucks in general, IMO. I found that unless you're following interesting people, and you like your family (and they don't just rage and aggrieve post), its a really garbage platform. It's best use is as a calendar.

I just keep blocking and muting. My twitter is mostly still really fun and pruned to my interests.

Not to defend the stupidity that is making things less secure, but you can still use a third party app as an Authenticator.

Social Media is like a garden, it needs constant pruning. Block shit you don’t want to see on sight, and the algorithms will 1) get the message and 2) you’ll stop seeing the same arguments popping up every other day.

It’s only seven months. Not even a year.

Okay replace Activision with Microsoft. Because Activision not hitting their normal metrics is going to hurt the company.

I doubt it, consoles are easy mode for games. No fiddling with settings, you know that any game you get for an Xbox or PlayStation will run. It’s just too convenient for most people.

It would hurt Activision and in turn their stock. If they stop supporting PlayStation Call of Duty , it’ll likely happen in the next generation, when they have a chance at converting people.

Call of Duty makes infinite money. It’s the 4th highest selling franchise of all time. They’d be insane to lock it out of Playststion’s user base.

YouTube is also social media.

The pencil is literally the best stylus I’ve ever used. And procreate is the best illustration program for me.

I’m using it professionally. As an illustrator, I can assure you, it’s worth the money.

The previous iPad was around $700, the new one was $1200. I’d say a device that gets regular use almost five years later was worth it.

Edit: also the new iPad is 12.9” 256gb vs the old one being the 10.7” 64gb, so the price difference is not super easy to compare.

Say what you want about the pricing, but iPad Pros tend to be worth it. They more than hold their value and use. I used my 2017 model 8 hours a day , 5 days a week until 2021, when I upgraded for a larger model. The old iPad still gets regularly used for various work, and there’s not a lot of signs of its age.
