You can mitigate (but not entirely stop the technique) by WhatsApp Settings, select Privacy, go to Advanced, and enable “Block unknown account messages.” and also disabling read receipts.
You could also uninstall the app and see if your battery usage reduces, or check in your phone's battery usage statistics for WhatsApp using a lot of it.
Oh god, you don't have any reading comprehension either.
Edit: I told you to read the room in another comment, not the one you responded to here.
"Reading the room" has nothing to do with "laws", lmao. Neither does suggesting better places to post your drivel. You can't possibly be this stupid.
You're free to ignore people telling you to fuck off and post dumb shit like this. We're free to continue to tell you to fuck off.
You're also free to be a drooling idiot trying to claim that the group that doesn't want this shit here is somehow "crying" about it or whatever the fuck you're trying to use as an insult. I see a bunch of people coming together to post the type of shit they want to see, downvoting what they don't, and telling people why.
You're welcome to leave the comm, or create your own one if this space is no longer what you want out of it.
I'm done here. I've got an actual toddler to deal with instead of your concentrated attempts to be one.
Man, fuck Capcom for that shit. Couldn't even be assed to release the fucking demo that was effectively complete. That shit better leak someday.
Sounds like someone's butthurt that other people don't want politics here. Lashing out like this post instead of being able to read the fucking room is pretty childish if you ask me.
Look, if you want some place to post politics, there are countless spaces on lemmy for it.
If you want some place to post nearly anything, 4chan's /b/ could use some more content than endless "share images from social media you wank to" threads. They'd also be far more receptive to your shitty attitude too. But considering you couldn't figure out how to post this without downloading an app, you might just be too stupid to figure it out.
Yes, Librewolf, the browser built entirely off... Firefox.
I appreciate their take vs. Mozilla's, but they wouldn't exist without Firefox in the first place.
A big part of the shift from lemmy to piefed seems to be that piefed has a faster development cadence, and that the developers of lemmy are openly tankies.
The flagship Lemmy instance, as in ran by the devs, is lemmy.ml. The ml stands for marxist-leninist. The lead dev regularly bans people from the entire instance for so much as questioning Chinese and Russian ~~propaganda~~ news sources, and they have many many other very controversial takes. There are some comms across the fediverse that document a lot of this, like !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works
From a sticky there, the lead dev Dessalines denies the Tiananmen Square massacre and praises the Uyghur genocide.
So far as I'm aware, the piefed devs haven't been involved in any drama, and aren't posting hardline shit about their political beliefs either.
Some of the many ways to bypass making a Microsoft account required hitting the shell in the installer for a moment, but the example screenshot looks more like someone removing shit post-install.
The short guide to not performing CBT with Windows is:
Not as much as we have to now.
I'm usually a Windows shield-bearer around these parts, because it's not quite as much of a dumpster fire as people say (please for the love of god don't debate me on this, I prefer Linux and have better things to do), but this is inarguably something Windows has gotten far far worse at. Out of the box experience (besides having to shove drivers into the install media) used to be a pretty definitive thing that Windows beat Linux on. Install and it "just werkd". It used to be the cornerstone of pushback, that Linux required you to tinker and Windows didn't. But Microsoft destroyed their lead in that so they only have (fast dwindling) business appeal and entrenchment to lean on now.
Ugh yeah. I've been slowly backing up my wife's, my parents', and my own music CDs, and while it thankfully hasn't gotten to many of them, it's ate enough to be annoying.
Especially because my wife's collection is mostly very specific performances of classical music and operas, which can make finding rips difficult when it's not a particularly popular recording.
And the CD-Rs are almost all toast. I'm lucky the old family PC HDDs still have most of the old family photos, so I've been able to back them up. Can't believe we used to think that backing up the pictures to disc would last longer.
I do sys admin/engineering work in a Windows environment. PowerShell is what got me this job, and together with my programming experience allows me to keep up with my seniors who have been in their positions for a decade or more.
It also helps us all make a good team. They have the knowledge and experience advantage (though I'm catching up), I have the skills to figure out how to implement/automate the plans in a way that doesn't involve days of mind numbing manual actions.
Honestly? That's rookie numbers.
Preface
I'm not trying to call out the mod action of removing my post from the comm so much as I'm calling out the complete lack of mod action leading to the comm becoming shit and having the current top post by scaled, hot, and active being a post that explicitly targets another lemmy user.
That out of the way... !mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world has clearly been slipping from the purpose of the comm for a while now. Most of the posts are actually infuriating and/or political. I understand that what qualifies as either of those can be different for different people, but I feel most of this shit clearly isn't mundane or simple enough to fall under the label of just mildly infuriating.
Here's some examples from the first page right now, sorted by scaled.
While I could have sworn the sidebar had a no politics rule, it doesn't at the time of me writing this up, so politics are arguably acceptable, although I personally feel these all clearly don't match the theme of the community, violating Rule 7.
Sidebar, and expanded rule 7
A few other posts have been made calling this out.
Mod harder and [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content?
################################
Beyond all that mess, we have what was the final straw for me.
Rule 1 (and less so 5), and the current top post by scaled, hot, and active.
I cannot accept that a post to mildly infuriating that targets a specific user while not even removing their username is respectful, and I personally consider it harassment (while it may not violate rule 5 as there is no call to action). Removing the username is usually the bare minimum even in the fucking reddit brigading subs, for plausible deniability.
And regardless of whatever arguments can be had about interpretations of the community's specific rules, it's a dick move. Just block the guy. It reminds me of the god awful reddit dogpiling and brigading. I don't want any of that to come to lemmy.
So I reported it, then saw the recent posts asking mods for action that got no response. I then looked at the mods.
So I did something dumb as hell. Roughly an hour after I reported it, I made my own post (now removed from the comm). I find people who make call out posts about others, and the absentee mods allowing it, mildly infuriating. Yeah, childish as shit. What's done is done.
Modlog:
Removed for "doesn't fit community", but what do you folks think? Does it really not fit when the top post is what it is? Personally I think both should be gone, lest that comm descend further into shit.
Either way, now that I have this yell into the void out of me, I'm blocking the comm. Maybe I should have made my post in actually infuriating? (kidding)
That is a threat.
From some back to school flyer.
I have so many great memories from childhood vacations to Mystery Flesh Pit National Park. I cant believe the disaster happened all the way back in 2007.
At least someone has been collecting and documenting everything they can find from the old place: https://www.mysteryfleshpitnationalpark.com/
I still can't make it all the way through the disaster report.
Definitely a repost, but it fits the season
