Same, except WhatsApp instead of FB Messenger. I had no results trying to convince my family and friends to use other stuff

Not that you’ll ever use it. No, seriously.

Edit: actually, they are not quite equivalent. This code just checks whether we are outside any function, not necessarily in the main file (i.e. not in a module). I don’t think there’s an equivalent to Python’s __name__ in stock Lua.

One common trick that I occasionally do for friends and pages I follow, and that seems to work, is to unfollow and re-follow.

Others suggest not using “bad” reactions like Angry and Sad on posts from accounts you want to keep seeing, and use Wow instead (that doesn’t help given I follow some LGBTQIA+/feminist/leftist pages reporting the clusterfuck that is most of the world)

Why you think the net was born? 🎶

Ah, curious, eh? :P

Its name is Chimera Recollect.

Edit: forgot to say: on Android.

En-eh hinks (with heavy Spanish accent)

I recently used Gemini just for fun, to help me find an old Android game that’s not on Google Play anymore. It was literally useless even though I described the game with a lot of details.

DuckDuckGo’d some details and 10 seconds later I was playing the game.
