Bubble wasn’t around when I last engaged with dating apps, though I wouldn’t give any app the benefit of the doubt, including in any conceivable future. While there are exceptions to the rule, as you mentioned, I’d say most people will be better off without dating apps, with or without a partner.
I can’t speak to women’s experiences, but as a man, it was pretty clear that these apps were dogshit designed to steal information while keeping you engaged with bots so they can further steal from you, including financially. Much like Facebook, I was an early rejector of dating apps, and I’ve been proven correct on both fronts. From what I can tell, the tech has only gotten better at taking advantage of lonely/stupid men. While dating isn’t really a concern for me anymore, when I was actively dating, it was never difficult to meet women. It just requires a willingness to be open and accept rejection. Also, be willing to cut off interaction for relationships that aren’t healthy. It’s better to be alone than in a shitty relationship.
Remember when windows 10 was supposed to be the last version of windows? 🤣
Can’t wait for that 20hr campaign while they dump all the effort into selling sharkbucks or whatever…
I’ll check it out, thank you. Sounds simpler than changing my number after 20 years.
I have been receiving so much spam the last 9 months. At first, I attributed it to the election, but it has actually escalated since December. I recieve 20+ blocked calls a day at this point. They sometimes use one or two new numbers in a day, so I have to add those to the list. Before I had enough of the numbers blocked, my phone was going off incessantly. Idk were my number appeared to cause this, but I’ve had to shut off my voicemail and block all texts from numbers not already saved on my phone. I think I might just change my number at this point, it might actually be more convenient.
This is the only use of ai that I approve of. Angering Maga pissbabies.
That makes sense. I definitely could see a use case for developers, but I don’t see many average pc users having a need for or even being aware of this service.
I actually just canned windows in the past month. I’m not a developer or “power user,” but I ran back to Linux due to the screen capture and A.I. nonsense that Microsoft has been pursuing recently. I have been very happy with my recent experience on Linux and don’t imagine going back to Windows in any fashion. There have been incredible strides made since I was last on Linux, about 15 years ago.
It makes more sense that it has benefits in that direction than the other way around.
Does this really expand to Windows users? As a non-technical user, this is the first I’ve heard of WSL and I’m sure I’m not alone.
Which is funny, because someone provided a better solution shortly after.
Given the demographic for these “products,” in not surprised.
One of my favorite moments on reddit was spotting a bot that spouted unrelated nonsense. I checked the comment history and found users responding earnestly to the nonsense. While it was hilarious, it was also quite sad, the state of those people.
I thought it was just going to be quiet the whole time, but this was better.
You know, it’s interesting that this is a well-known behavior, but I have never witnessed it. I frequently come within a few feet of them whenever they’re in my area, and they tend to just watch me as I pass.
This just sounds like a bunch of finger wagging, posturing, and promises of future action at some unspecified time. Completely expected and on brand.
Thanks for sharing! Based of that one video, I like homie’s energy, I’ll check out some more of his channel.
That’s fair. I may generally be a bit over suspicious at times, but the apps definitely struck me as off very early on. As to charging men, while it does suck, I get it. It similar to “ladies’ night” at clubs (do they still do that?). It isn’t hard to get men in the door, but it is significantly harder to get women to attend, oftentimes due to some of the behaviors exhibited by the men. With the gender differences on app usage, it would likely drive that disparity even higher if they charged women.
