  • You had me at first but lost me at the end. Social anxiety and low self confidence is the opposite of egotistic

    How do I Graphene OS?
  • ...and GrapheneOS considers my phone end-of-life and support for it will eventually stop. So unless you just got a brand new Pixel... kind of a waste.

    Hard disagree. Just because it stops receiving updates doesn't suddenly make it useless

    Interesting to see how dead the MMORPG genre has become. Are there still players around?
  • MMORPGs may not be the butt of South Park jokes anymore, but that doesn't mean that they're dead. They're more diversified... Like others mentioned, other games are quietly stealing the thunder. Also, if you think about it, battle royale games are kinda MMOs with how many people are in the lobby, and games like Roblox and Minecraft can have players interact with large numbers of others

    It's the little things that keeps me around
  • Legit question: for the average person, why would this matter? Like congrats copper, you can see my text messages to my mom, and my receipts in my email, and my pictures of my pets. If someone's actually doing crime, then a password should be the least of their security measures.

    How can Apps constantly Auto Start themselves in the background and what can you do about it?
  • I'm in the same boat as you and it drives me up a wall. I've found a solution and love getting 2-day battery life out of my 5 year old phone.

    I swear by Greenify and use it religiously. It programmatically force-closes all of your apps that you don't use, so that they don't send broadcasts to each other like the other comments mentioned. There are only system apps running on my phone at all times, unless I specifically open other ones.

    With "sensors off" toggled on, no GPS or auto-rotate, the only thing that triggers apps to open is changing networks or receiving a notification.

    How the fuck do you meet new people?
  • Sooo I was kinda in your shoes a few months ago, and decided I really needed to do something about it before I lost my goddam mind. What I'm doing (and it's kinda working) is to find a community that interests you, and persistently be involved in it. I personally found a streamer on Twitch and a few Discord communities, and hang out with those people by generally just being there and having small interactions with others. We watch the same things and play the same games in voice chat. It really helps to have some sort of common activity that you can comment on and springboard your experiences or stories. You don't have to be that guy that's obnoxious and in everyone's face, just pay attention to the people in these groups and be super friendly. I've found a few acquaintances and am working on knowing them better to become friends. You'll remember names and interesting things about them, or be like me and take notes so you don't forget lmao. Eventually, they'll say "Hi <name!> It's nice to see you again. How was your day?" and then you know you're on the right track.

    Socializing is hard, especially when you're not used to it and in this online era. If you're friendly and attentive, people will reflect that energy back to you, and you will form bonds. Good luck!

    Are they a thief of focus or simply very efficient entertainment?
  • For AAA, live service, "games as an industry," sure. However, there are plenty of examples of games that are passion projects, respect your time, and have mutual respect with their community. You just won't see them advertised on billboards.

    Has anyone tried any 3d scanning solutions?
  • Fair. "Far better than I was expecting for $30, but with limitations." Can't really scan anything less than about 4", but you can scan an entire room or car which is neat. My face came out really good.
