No, they want to be called LA class nuclear powered attack submarine.
We're in shit posting after all.
Happy Xmas, ya filthy animal!
I still find it weird that the word daddy, you know, the word you lovingly use as a child for your father also has a very sexual other use.
I dont know what you guys do or did with your dad when you where little but this is just beyond crazy.
Or does the entire US population has oudipus complex?
Hell no.
Are you u all living in rosy mc Rosewood Santa's little safe harbour everything is fine and dandy rainbow world? Or are you all lying through your teeth?
Letting someone in your home with clearly visible psychological issues, in your circle of trust, filled with those you hold most dearly and packed with your dearest memories, that place... And then letting someone in you know nothing about?
Hell fucking no.
In the real world letting some rando homeless dude in your home has a 50/50 chance of ending up in crazy town. There is a high probability that you, yours or your stuff get fucked up. I cannot and will not accept those odds. Even a 2% chance of shit happening is a risk I'm unwilling to take when it comes to my kids.
Would I help him? Maybe. It depends on some factors (like can I at that specific time, did I help him out earlier, do I have cash on hand) Would I let him in? No f-ing way.
So real answer: money: maybe, eat & drink: anytime. Clothes: I've got some you can have, no problem. Bath and clean: nope. Never.
Sigh.
Nazism isn't the same as fascism. Nazism does care about your ethnicity. Fascism does not.
But whatever.
Im just a tad disappointed that according to this graphic fascism (which isnt exactly the same as nazism but whatever) is strictly a white issue.
Which, if you look at the world, clearly isn't the case. Fascism is everywhere.
Shut up. You're paying for a service and still get almost 50% ads?
Why? How? Which? And do we in the EU also have this awaiting in our future?
Yeah, no.
The hunt is only fun if you've got time to spare.
Throw in a spouse, kids, good but demanding job, a place to live, social obligations, detoriating (geriatric) parents, and you're so happy you can just mash one single button and your favourite track, game or series starts to play.
That's the reason why people stop pirating. Time.
When time is not (yet) your most precious resource you can see the fun in anything. Even virus scanning.
No. There are already plenty examples of this. Thinking this will happen in the near future (100 years) is a fairytale.
As long as you don't have vocal cords capable of creating effective speech and you don't have appendages with which is possible to create and use tools you're fucked.
Examples? Plenty, let's go:
Pig: As intelligent as a 6 year old. What we do to them makes Auswitz looks like summer camp.
Dolphins: pushed into a bay and murdered by the hundreds. Thousands (millions?) die each year in the nets of our floating fishing factories. Their intellect is at least that of a 6 year old and most probably way more.
Whales: hunted to virtual extinction. Way more intelligent then a 6 year old.
Elephants: show clear sociological traits. Remembers stuff over a long time. Grieve over death. Hunted for their big ass teeth.
Apes: our close relatives. Hunted for meat. Most species of them easily operate at 10-12 year old level. Can use tools but can not create them. At the current path they're on in the wild (extinction). They will never reach the stone age.
We rule. Harshly.
In your car, your TV, your network, your dns.....
Everywhere.
LJ,
I too am a reddit refugee. I like what you've done with this place.
:)
But we have to talk about pricing and privacy.
Pricing: tbh I see not much wrong with the 20 bucks. But I do think that you should take 2 bucks from that and donate one to the lemmy org (this is not reddit, nobody is getting paid, the lemmy devs also need an incentive) and the other one to lemmy.world because that's the instance you're dumping us all on. Hosting is not free, lemmy.world costs money and probably a lot of time to run. Being a reddit admin is a payed job, being Ruud at lemmy.world most certainly is not.
In this way "we" are giving back to the Foss community and it should silence a lot of critics. In that way you don't look like the evil capitalist earning a quick buck over the back of free labour of the foss community. I think that's 2 bucks well spent.
Edit: same goes for ultra subscriptions of course, a similar percentage should be fed back to the lemmy org and lemmy.world.
Privacy: since you're using admob and I forgot the other one, privacy is out the window. That's a big issue for the Foss community we're all relying on. Maybe it's wise to point out that once you pay for sync all that tracking that admob and the other one (not you I hope) does is out the window.
Edit edit: maybe you could also add a yearly reminder to donate to the users favourite lemmy instance.
I just leave you with my favorite quote of Ljdawson, made during the reddit api war:
"I don't know. I don't track shit."
He has crashlytics. That's about it.
Tbh, I don't care for open or closed source, I don't even care for free or payed. (19 bucks per year.. That's like what, a coffee and a donut at a Starbuck?)
Stuff must just work and to be honest... All available clients all work sort of.
This one does this good but sucks at multi instances. That one screws up gifs from that and this site. Made an error typing your user name!/password during setup? Tough shit. You can't edit it so redo from start, remove it and type well this time.
Sync just seems to work.
That's not to shit on anyone hard work: I can't do it, I can't make them, I'm glad these clients exist. I don't expect free tools to be perfect.
But I'm also superglad Sync for lemmy is a thing. And I will pay for it when it's out of beta.
Guest vlan? Smart.
Blocking 80/443 knowing all to well everything depends on those: evil.
Throttling to 56k: the original original poster just being a dick.
Took 45 minutes: Maybe find another job. You're not good at it.
Conclusion: The sister was right. Evil incompetent dick.
