The tankie thing keeps pushing me away from lemmy, but lemmy seems to be the only software getting clients at the moment. So I'm torn. I want an iOS client badly, but I don't want to support tankies.

I suppose I shouldn't sell out for a nice app though.

Ham radio. It's a lot of fun and has something for everyone. I like the outdoors, so I took my portable gear to a park and operated Parks on the Air today. There are all kinds of digital modes for people who love computers, there's morse code, there's using kites to hoist your antenna, hot air balloons, talking with the space station, etc. All kinds of stuff. If you're the least bit nerdy, it likely has something for you.

That's why I nuked all my posts and edited every one of my comments to point to kbin / lemmy before deleting my account. They may revert my changes, but I at least wanted to try to prevent them from benefiting from me in any way.

Yes! I started competing in a sport in my late twenties and am deep into it now (I'm 36), and have never felt better.

Do you mean mlem? That’s the TestFlight app I have.

I mean physical mail, lol. You go out to your mailbox and have a handful of crap that you have to throw away.

Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It's a huge pain. I use iOS and I don't think there are any Instagram alternative apps.

It has become that way in the US.

My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.

I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It's such a mental load.
