#1 Reason I still root is for adaway #2 reason is spite because Google thinks they own my phone

A fine addition to my collection 
Steam says the collection was released August 7th, 2020. If I remember correctly it was earlier in the year that amogus popped off. But, then again, it has been almost 5 years...
Edit: I was wrong, Google trends shows the initial bump right at August 2020. Just misremembering
Yup, took off soon after COVID hit
Technically it was released like 2018 or something, but it wasn't popular untill then
It's been half a decade, I still can't fucking believe this meme is still going
This. Don't rush it. Stay as just friends for a bit. The easiest way to lose a friend is to develop a romantic relationship with them. I'd love to be friends with, or as good of friends as we used to be, with some people, and all you can do is regret it.
That being said, you can't live a life free of any regrets; if there's wind in your sails, don't leave the anchor dragging.
Be gay do crime
Legislators should be afraid of the people
You're looking for reolink stuff, just about the only ones that are still real ipcams and not IoT cloud spyware
Hope to see this back ported to my surround sound system, but I doubt it
Actual users, myself included. Yes, I am on federated apps (here, mastodon, "bluesky", pixelfed, loops, peertube) but frankly the majority of people, and the content I consume, aren't.
小红书 has been a blessing. I've been learning Chinese before this but didn't really have a place to practice communication. Everyone on the app has been extremely friendly and welcoming of the incoming Americans. I've noticed the fediverse has been very quick to judge with no actual experience with the app (not targeting you)
Is it for everyone? No. But I've genuinely been enjoying my time there communicating with Chinese citizens.
I got my entire Snapchat gc (15 people) and a little more to switch. The key isn't dropping an announcement of "hey I'm moving", you talk to each person individually; starting with the most likely to switch. Then go up the line, share who you've already got to join if you're met with resistance. if you save the most difficult people for last, telling them almost everyone else is already there is usually enough.
If someone along the way has refused to move for the time being, you can revisit them later after you've got more people to move. I didn't 100% nail my judgement of who would and who wouldn't, but I was able to go back and revisit those who didn't.
If you can, reach out to people in person; I got a few this way. You have to express that you will not be accessible otherwise and will only be present on signal moving forward. It helps if you have a reputation for following through :3
Likely not everyone is going to move over. I've accepted that there's some people I probably won't end up talking to ever again. I've got my main group over, the ones that actually respect that I want more security (and less clown-show shit that Snapchat has)
Human nature wants to stay put, you have to have some strategy or it won't work.
Also a lot of people are pissed at Meta for lobbying for TikTok's ban. Use that with the relevant people, if applicable
