An incredible and depressing number of people in the world don't know what to wear, eat, watch, where to go on holiday or who to vote for until a celebrity tells them to do it.

Sony has entered the chat. - the shutter button is one of the best features of the Xperia line, for sure. I used it extensively when it was my go-to phone.

Why not just enable both? Have the control panel be available but more of a power user kind of thing, where the new Settings page is what gets pushed to the average user. Of course it's more work to maintain both but last time I checked MS were doing alright for themselves and could probably afford it.

Ah, but you forget that nobody has a sense of humour any more. We can't laugh at ourselves let alone anybody else.

Shitrag news source is indeed implying this. It's a totally different island. The state of news today.

Get your hands off my phalange!

I just wish there was a way to get it to handle processing of folder and file paths to your environment. They say it's a security thing which I get, but my team is constantly sharing links to files and folders and it's a PITA having to copy and paste the links into Explorer. If there was some way of making it work securely it would be a big productivity boost a d QOL improvement.

IMO as soon as the user adds at least one sub the app should set that by default anyway. Would reduce confusion.

The developer is responsible for putting ads in his app. Not saying I disagree with the sentiment behind your statement because it's technically correct, but the developer has to take some degree of responsibility when they decide to open up their app to basically uncontrollable outside information being displayed to the users. Which is why ad-supported free versions of apps are a damned plague in my opinion. Would rather the free version was missing some functionality instead encouraging users to opt for Pro or Ultra. Unlocking features, not paying to remove ads that weren't and aren't on the Lemmy platform itself in the first place.

No, no, no. You're not allowed to complain about a price hike from £2 to £19 even though the apps are basically the same in UX and concept and LJ was able to push out a semi functional beta in a matter of weeks. Because complaining about it makes you a 'baby' apparently and everyone should be willing to part with £19 without blinking, to buy an app to use a service that has barely gotten off the ground and nobody knows will be around in a year at this point. I understand people are excited, and people want to support LJ (I have, loads, over the years) but this community doesn't seem to even want a proper discourse about this and prefers to resort to shitty insults. Not sure that's the kind of community I can see myself growing into, personally. To me, that asking price is insanely greedy and a bit delusional considering there are other strong alternatives already popping up. I've been loyal to Sync for 10 years I think, but times are tough money is tight, and nobody knows if Lemmy is going to succeed yet. We need big numbers on this platform and keeping costs down would surely aid in that effort. But he must have done his calculations so I respect his decision. If he doesn't revert I'll have to look at the alternatives.

I think the cost is prohibitively high considering 99% of Reddit users have never used Lemmy before and have no idea how it works. There is a massive opportunity to soak up all those disolutioned redditors and a low entry price to kick things off over the next 6 to 12 months might have been a key way to achieve that. As it stands the cost is massive to a lot of people who will either use alternative apps or just won't even switch to Lemmy at all. You can't even submit your own posts yet. It's not prime time ready. I truly loved Sync for Reddit and have paid for Pro twice, and shown support to LJ, but I think this pricing level is a mistake.

£19 OTP! WTF! Ljdawson tell me this is a mistake...
