I mean, I'm complaining about my family and friends caring about me. xD

I get more birthday wishes from creepy corporations than individuals. Just a reminder that they have lots of information about me and try to act in ways that endear them to me but backfire.

ugh. there is this night mode where you set start and end times and it activates if its plugged in. thing is it won't stop at the end time if its plugged in. having it plugged in during the hours starts it and it does not stop till you unplug it.

Pixel has this feature, it's called night mode iirc, but you can also set it to disable when your next alarm goes off.

Unfortunately grapheneos doesn't have this. I kinda miss it, it also turned the always on feature off and back on which i now have to do manually with a hacky workaround to give a 3rd party quick setting access to settings.

yeah its a pixel and its part of the problem. I don't use my phone for my alarm and really don't want to. It just seems dumb to me that is lists a time span but it won't stop at the end of the span it wants some other input.

ahh that makes sense. honestly didn't even occur to me that you could use something else as an alarm lol, i might be using this thing too much

I don't even respond unless it's a direct text or the couple of friends I talk to on messenger. I'm not responding to you if all you do is post it to my FB wall and that's the only time you talk to me during the year (mostly bc I fucking hate Facebook).

I turn off my birthday notification for everyone on Facebook, it saves us all from the hassle.

I do this weird thing where I know real people in real life who also know my birthday.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

That is weird.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

a thousand? Look at your mr popular.

If they are all on the same social platform, (like fb for example) a simple "Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful day and it was made even better with everyone sending their love," will work.

Are you available as a chat bot?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I usually never reply them until 2 days after with a simple heart reaction

Same. I don't even bother. I'm not wasting my birthday by spending a few hours thanking people on social media.
