This is deliciously mild.

On the very slim chance someone else is curious about the work of art I did an image search :

Semi-related, my dad taught me if no one was hurt/nothing bad happened to start with that. Like if a friend was in a car accident I start “Everyone is ok, but Michael got rear ended this morning” or “There was minimal damage thankfully, but a tornado went through Jessica’s neighborhood last night”. No point in making someone go through that roller coaster.

Besides, sync was always monetized, and everyone that was asking/begging Dawson to migrate the app knew that. The only people surprised are people that didn’t use it to begin with, and aren’t going to use it now.

I’m an iPhone user so never had Sync, but even I’m confused about how upset people are. It’s like they’re trying to be offended on behalf of Sync users? Like…Sync users aren’t forced to use it and aren’t forced to pay for it. They choose to because they like the app and appreciate what the dev does. I loved Apollo and while I know Christian isn’t going to make a Lemmy app, if he did I would pay for it/pay for an ad free version because I know he does good work and I like his product.

Didn’t he refuse to pay Twitter lawyers that worked for Twitter to force Musk’s hand to buy Twitter? I imagine at this point his lawyer options are pretty slim based on his earned reputation.

Thanks for solving the “Ziggy” one for me! And I agree I feel like “Computer” was for elderly grandmas.

Funnily enough, you can change the Alexa wake word (edit: on certain devices, I can change it on my Show but not my Tap). It can be “Echo”, “Amazon”, “Computer” and for some reason “Ziggy” (someone is a big fan of Bowie or Sunday morning cartoons?)

I know you can’t change Siri, I’m not sure about Google but I assume that can’t be changed either.

Yeah I watch a girl on YouTube who bought a run down old house in Nova Scotia + plenty of land for I think $64k? It obviously takes a lot of work to get it modernized but it was technically liveable when she bought it. But it’s kinda out in the middle of nowhere and therefore not as desirable.

(If anyone cares, she’s a booktuber but she has a whole video series on refurbing the house. Her name is Ariel Bissett.)

Yeah I live by myself and during the week only cook dinner plus snacks, so it takes me 3+ days to fill it up enough to justify running it and even then it starts it get…iffy.

What a great name!!

my second objection is that that copying bash entries is meaningless activity - everyone can just go to where they already are to see them.

Couldn’t this be said of…anything posted to an aggregator site? A large chunk of Lemmy (and Reddit) is screenshots of other sites.

and last - that post was not funny when it was new and time did not help it 🤷‍♂️

A lot of stuff posted to Lemmy isn’t funny to me either but my opinion doesn’t matter much.

Not sure if I’m wooshing or you’re serious about being this particular about this post.

I think they’re referencing the phrase “flight straight up” and joking that the flight was going “straight up” in the air and not a modifier akin to “really and truly”.

That’s wild your app was displaying photos sideways. 🥴

Yeah, I’m also not a fan of the dairy lobby coming for my “plant milk” label. I’m in the US, where AFAIK nothing has stuck. But I believe in the EU they’ve now officially had to implement the “beverage” label (please correct me if I’m wrong!), which kinda sucks imo but whatever. Despite what the dairy industry thinks, it’s not going to stop people buying plant milks.

Yea I meant plant-based “milks” (I know they’re now called “beverages” but I haven’t come around to it just yet).

Milk but no “non-dairy milk” option?

When I was in college, one of the workers at the campus sub shop would legitimately make you say “may I” instead of “can I” before he’d start building your order.

It’s a reference to the meme “Loss” linked in this comment: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/805300

Same. I’ve had phones and text in dreams. Another trigger is supposed to be looking at a clock and it won’t look right but I’ve checked the time in dreams many times.
