Image is exactly why I'm afraid to eat alone, have some asshole take a picture of me and post it online

That was my first thought. And how many people have done this already? It's way too easy to take pictures of people while pretending to just be on your phone. They should introduce a little red LED when the camera is on, at the very least.

I remember when it was required that cameras give a little shutter noise to take a picture, I wish they still did. Would deter a lot of people.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 points 1 week ago

I guess it would.

OTOH it's always one of the first things I disable on my phone. That being mandatory would piss me off.

In most laptop web cams, the little LEDs are part of the hardware/firmware modules.

Why is eating alone a big deal? Plenty of people do it all the time.

Nothing wrong with eating alone. As I said, I have a new fear of some asshole taking a picture of me eating alone now.

Just because we aren't there physically doesn't mean that you don't have friends. Just saying. Now stop being a downer and give me a virtual hug, damn it! 🤗

Hey friend! How are you doing!?

I hate eating alone, thankfully the voices keep me company.

It's a lonely life, the life of a meme maker. We stand with you brother(or other).

Bots aren’t real friends

I'll be your friend. It's ok that you're a bot.

[–] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Exactly something a bot would say

I appreciate the memes. Truly. Thank you.
