I'll help you for a nominal fee if I can keep the tip.

Choosing to not listen to you is not, repeat not censorship!

You do not have a fundamental right to my eyes and ears. Defederation is collectively ignoring you, not censoring you.

Then you're not going to be happy with me deploying work production code via my dedicated porn box...

I will never understand how he has international fans.

Do other countries not have comparable sociopathic narcissists?

That's nothing. My coworkers node_modules directory will soon require their own NAS and dedicated 10Gbps circuits.

I call it, "subscription fatigue".

Work bought me an iPad. It was my first foray into iOS.

I'm not sure what the app store was like before, but I couldn't find a single app that didn't have a subscription plan. Even a simple SSH client built using open source libraries wants $6.00/mo.

I totally understand why people groan and do a face palm any time they see yet another app wanting to charge them monthly, hoping that once there you'll forget that you've subscribed.

The only reason that I paid for Sync is that I've seen the dev interactions and their dedication to the project. I would never ever pay for a software subscription from any of the big players. For a single person setup, I'm more than happy to do it. I donate to my favorite podcasts and my favorite designers from Thingiverse.

Late stage capitalism and the rent-seeking economy sucks. But becoming accustomed to individuals paying other individuals is one of the things we're going to have to do to make it suck less.

That was mostly me once I found out that Lemmy had NSFW servers.

Same!

The second that I opened the interface it was like being greeted by an old friend.

I totally get the subscription fatigue that people get. Work gave me an iPad and I was gobsmacked that a simple SSH app using open source libraries was going to cost $6.00/mo. Hell with that.

But in this instance, I feel like the subscription is worth it. The dev has proven that he is extremely active. Weekly updates on the beta channel for the original Reddit version.

Game. Changer.

I live my life as FOSS-y as possible.

This is the only subscription that I have. $2/mo or $16/yr is not even a blip on most people's radar.

The OG Sync was the most used app on my phone and tablet.

So download, enjoy, and pay the dev! He's phenomenal, approachable, and transparent. This isn't some Flappy Birds knockoff. This is a polished app that allows us to connect with one another more easily. And I'd like to see what features he comes up with next.

It takes a lot for me to trust an app/dev this much. Hopefully everybody else will too and we can help him do even more neat things.

This is so on-brand for Republicans, I'm surprised there wasn't a "/s" included on the letter.

Veterans? New citizens? More veterans? Teachers? Even more veterans?

All groups that have been reduced to mindless virtue signals by gatekeeping Conservatives who have zero intention of doing anything to actually help any of these groups.

Red voters don't care that this behavior is morally indefensible and monstrous on its face. They don't care that the founder of their own religion would have been aghast at how casually evil his follows have become.

Seriously. If the historical Jesus knew what his religious revival would lead to, the genocides and wars, he would have made his own cross on his first day of carpentry school.

And it'll only be a matter of time before conservative candidates will have to kowtow to these dangerous busybodies.

"Mr. President, there's a group of bored, angry, middle aged white women out here wanting to speak to the manager."

Have to agree. It's a relic of a much different time. With more women in the workforce and marriage rates dropping, being a divorcee no longer carries the stigma that it once did.

I'm okay with familial support being weighted to whomever has primary custody of any children.

And if there was a major discrepancy in net worth, like the Bezos fiasco, it seems fair to split things up more evenly.

It's a very touchy subject. I don't want to be even remotely associated with the "men's rights" shitstorm. But I would like to see more of these antiquated, gender-based laws get modernized.

I was in South Texas a few months ago (not my idea).

At a local H.E.B. There was a rack of Pride merchandise including t-shirts and bumper stickers that said "Y'all includes 'all'"

They were on clearance so my cynical brain leapt to the conclusion that nobody was buying them. Nooope. They were being destroyed and otherwise vandalized while on the shelf. This was happening so often that the manager decided that it was costing more to keep them on the shelves than the goodwill of the queer community was worth to him.

Wake me up when a corporation does more than the absolute minimum during Pride. Otherwise it's just more sociopathic virtue signaling from organizations that would happily sell Khmer Rouge branded glasses if they thought it would increase shareholder value.

It has all of the hallmarks of a successful media franchise.

Modern Evangelicalism: Judge Dredd and The Punisher make tender love.

"Let's not tie it to the skin color and say that the skin color determined that," Walters said

This is also his stance on the Civil War. And Jim Crow. And Apartheid.

I think Florida schools are way ahead of you.
