Anyone on mastodon use TunnelBear for their VPN provider? If so, I keep getting logged out on my iOS app and have to log in again. This comes at no notification at all, no disconnect alert either. Just me popping in to check. And it’s frustrating to say the least.

Any of you have this issue or have a hypothesis on why it keeps happening? I’ve paid for a year membership, so I’m not leaving anytime soon. But it definitely has me thinking elsewhere for next year.

any other social media managers struggling to find work?

i'm beginning to wonder if there's a future in social media advertising. I'm a socmed manager at an agency and have a few clients on the side, but i've noticed a trend lately of clients cutting those positions in favor for cheap labor or AI.

i've never been to a more miserable place online than any of the apple or mac subreddits.

pretend i just got here from 1995 --

what the fuck is a shitpost?

tomorrow’s goal:
whatever your doing, do it with ambition. with passion. with love. Breathe life into whatever it is you’re doing in that moment and make it live forever. Call a loved one and make a memory. Tell someone you miss them. Be vulnerable, it’s okay. Trust me.
I think #Facebook is crapping right now. Anyone else having issues with Meta platforms? #SocialMedia

it’s only tuesday but this week has been abundantly stressful. if you’re reading this. i hope you’re doing okay and doing what you can to keep your head above water.

hang in there.

call me crazy but i don't think kamala harris would've started a war with iran.

not a #spotify fan as i begrudgingly have it, but i do fancy this idea of audiobooks having a top streaming chart. hopefully more apps can get behind this.

by the way, do other #writer think it would be a good idea to either a - livestream themselves reading their book on virtual town halls / meets or b - record themselves (or a pro) reading their books on a recorded video and uploading it onto YouTube? wondering if anyone has done this.

if you're a big #firefox user like myself, be sure to toggle the Block AI Enhancement option in your settings. i just got the update this morning and immediately turned that shit off.

seriously though, how much more AI bs can companies shove at us?
