Good to know that when I'm doing my raccoon eyes, I'm getting an additional layer of protection from the sun!

I always just assumed those cultures, along with Captain Jack Sparrow, just did it because it looks cool.

The more you know! ๐ŸŒˆ๐ŸŒŸ

I'm living with my grandmother in law and she's just very fussy. Sometimes we think, I'd rather just pay rent somewhere, but we love her and she's unwell and we're saving money so we're all looking after each other for now and trying not to sweat the small stuff like hanging a television when we don't really need to.

I honestly haven't even asked, but I know what the answer will be - can't even leave the toaster that I use daily on the bench, has to go away once cooled. Getting to leave my coffee machine out was a bloody battle.

Her house, we live here for free and just pay our share of utilities and do our own groceries, and I help her if she is having a bad health day etc. It's fine. It's (mostly) worth the frustration.

I'm more annoyed with the limitations that renters experience in general - it's the landlord's property, but it's the renter's home, and sometimes it feels like we're never really allowed to make any place our own, what with all the rules and regulations and punishments.

ETA: "won't have a bar of.. ", ie she won't accept that sort of thing.

I'm not disagreeing with your point, but it's funny; if a result is "sponsored", my first thought is "what is wrong with it? Is it crap?".

[-] ComradeBunnie@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

I'm so confused, I literally thought that the "what goes where" section headers were around the wrong way.

I also agree with your point about not being too strict when we're wanting the community to grow.

I was so ready to drop $10-15 AUD without a thought, but at $25, I'm sticking with Connect.

[-] ComradeBunnie@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

You can switch to use the external browser in the app settings, however, at time it affects everything - including images. Once that's fixed, I'll probably move back from Sync to Connect!

[-] ComradeBunnie@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago

To be fair, we are on a beta version!

Overall, mine has been working fairly smoothly.

I'm still weighing up whether to continue using Connect though, for a few reasons.

So stoked for Lemmington Syncings.

Maybe mine have less bloat because I'm in Australia, maybe I don't consider some of the apps to be bloat, not sure - but I've had Samsung's since the S2 and I've always been content with my phones.

I have definitely found the software to be improved over the years, and I love that I can customise the colours of every element down to hyperlinks in my text messages, all using their Theme Park app from their funny little app store. They also have a few other decent apps to change around the notification bar icons and things like that.

I'll definitely be sticking with Samsung as long as all of these things keep going in a happy direction.

I think for some it is just easier - they don't need to get their nephew to build a janky website, or cut into their profit by having someone build a decent one.

The older blokes in particular probably aren't worried or even aware of the issues with Facebook. For them, it's just a place to share pics of their grandkids visiting and boomer memes etc.

Even with the younger crowd - when I move, which is every few years, I often find new hairdressers on Facebook; few bother with a website. They're already on there and it's a great way to show their work to a wide range of potential clients.

Almost no one is going to a website every few weeks to check out updates from their favourite artisans, but they will scroll through a social feed and often interact with the posts.
