At least he's not Aryan Jesus here. That's a sort of progress I guess?

Still terrible

Become popular? It's been popular roughly for the lifespan of the format. It's hardly language's fault the developer wanted to make an unfunny reference to a since forgotten peanut butter slogan.

On the other hand linguistics indicate a hard g sound with the construction of the word, constituent words aside. Plenty of four letter words starting with the gi combo have a hard g, including but not limited to gift which you may notice is very similarly constructed.

Whatever else the English language may throw at us, people appreciate consistency because we can make some sense of the world. A hard g is the consistent, predictable, sensible choice for the limited availability of those virtues English offers.

We don't have an Isekai genre. We have an Other World subgenre of fantasy that Japan made another name for and weebs apply to everything similar.

In fairness, Gmail had a similar invite system when it launched and that's been way more successful than G+

Once at a Waffle House in Florida I had a waitress that said she gets to work whatever shift she wants now because she did overnights for more than twenty years.

Little bothered that Tim Russ said "bias" instead of "biased"

This should come up whenever someone says you just need to work hard to succeed and get a better job than fast food.

This man has grandchildren and hasn't missed a day in 20 years. He's not a teenager. He's not lazy. He's a real person who has worked his ass off, probably more every day than a lot of CEOs in a month.

And I bet he's still happily making your lunch.

I don't know but if I did I might buy it

It's not. It's popular because it was a popular Reddit app and a lot of people here are former Reddit users.

Everyone has their preferences but that doesn't make sync better than any other app. Just different.

Well if no one does anything it won't be better should reincarnation come around.

I think Dr. Seuss has some pertinent wisdom here.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot nothing is going to get better. It's not.

So I just tested this. I'm not at home so I had to VPN in which is no issue.

  • I opened graph.facebook.com and confirmed it was working
  • I opened and logged in to my Ally app
  • I added graph.facebook.com to my pi-hole's black list as a regex entry
  • I opened graph.facebook.com in the browser and confirmed it was blocked
  • I force closed and cleared the cache on my Ally app
  • I opened and logged in to my Ally app

It's not the Meta connection that's giving you trouble.
