Part of the reason for this is because my algorithm was completely changed because of my location. Like on TikTok, I wasn’t getting even a single video from Ethiopia whether I follow them or not. I have to search for the followers I want to see just to see their content, and even after that the algorithm still sticks to the location. I’m sure I missed some trends and news because I’m a person of TikTok and Reels and that’s where I get my information.

Another thing I noticed is every social media platform like YouTube and TikTok comes with ads. Sometimes this is the benefit of living in a poor country, yes poor, because you’re ad free by default.

Coming back to the algorithm thing, I actually liked that it changed. I want to travel to a place where people have never lived before, like the North Pole, and just live. So I will deactivate and live peacefully but still with social media. Kind of a conflicting idea, but yeah that’s what I want.

Truee.. same like I use telebirr as if it’s tele paying for it.

btw, have u ever imagined how our payments would be even smoother if apple pay had worked out here? Like no passcode, no asking for account number, no cross checking the owner.. you just put your phone close to the machine and voila payment will be done. And we will be much more extravagant 🙂

last time I coded was when Manchester united played a game.

I have never watched the series. Anyone here who watched it ? Is it a good character? 🙂


Also, let’s see what u got

Whether in life or anything just because you messed up a lot doesn’t mean you should continue messing up.

Someone who was 33 years old on 2000 has now turned 60.

We are really getting old without noticing it.

My future is bright
if መብራት ሃይል agrees 🙂

People who stand and wait for a taxi for an hour when it's a 30-minute walk, and people who wait for an AI to respond to something they could quickly resolve with a quick Google search, are the same. Figure out the how.

I might do masters just to access campus

(God forbid😁)

the type of email I want to receive.. I don’t want the ‘I hope you’re doing well’ bla bla… stuff🙂

tho, formality is a must. What do u know about email etiquette ?
