Sync and Connect are pretty similar, but I prefer Sync. I like its design a bit more, also it is more customizable and has more features I use: customization of sorting for every feed and subscription, option to hide nested comments by default, button showing parent comment without need to scroll up. Also it can track comment count changes.
I think people are talking about Sync because it has ads and its pricing is too high.
The Justice pic: a man yells at the kids stealing apples from his garden, while the kids are running away, loosing all the apples.
I think it's because the story about a missing submersible is unusual, and moreover, it's about a rescue attempt. This makes it more interesting than many other, albeit more dreadful, news stories.

Yes. Although it's possible to learn programming without knowing English, English is required for those who wants to be good programmers. All documentation is in English, naming and comments should be in English too, otherwise it would be hard to maintain code for developers from other countries.
When the possibility to block instances will be implemented?
I hope they will return the original Angry Birds series to the stores.
I tried only Jerboa and Liftoff. Liftoff has a customizable UI, all the features I need, and tells when a post or comment was made (unlike Jerboa).
It's because lemmy.world invalidated tokens. Re-login fixes the issue.
It just teleports. This proves when chess was invented it was far ahead of time.
I used the official app, but still supported the protest.
It's obvious. UFO takes the bishop.
Thanks a lot for your work.
I enabled everything but personalized extension recommendations. I want Mozilla to know how the browser is used, so they can improve it based on statistics rather than their assumptions.
I prefer another framing:
There's "Block community" in the three dots menu.
Ad placeholders are displayed in the slide view. And Sync doesn't ask to pay for using it. It just provides payed options in its settings.
Some time ago Firefox started eating tons of RAM. I googled a bit and found it was actually AdBlock Plus eating RAM, so I switched to uBlock Origin. But not all people switched to another extension, some of them switched to anotger browser.
I mean blocking all communities from an instance by a user. Currently, it's implemented on a client level in a few clients, but it obviously doesn't work for the web UI. Blocking all users from a certain instance is not that useful, I guess.
It depends on country. There were countries where indentured servitude was for entire life, except for cases when a landlord freed a serf or a serf bought own freedom. Landlords could buy, sell and judge serfs. Example: Russian Empire, where serfs had no rights.
Liftoff, it's functional and looks good. Waiting to try Sync for Lemmy, though.
I prefer Steam because of cheaper games in my country and because of service. All those reviews, tutorials and mods matter.
Somehow it turned into blacks vs whites, which is not ok for me.
I live in Ukraine and I hope those people in the submersible will be rescued.
I tried to deselect Undefined, but it stayed selected after I saved the changes.
Wrong. I'm no owned.
Mozilla is payed for setting Google as a default search engine. That doesn't contradict Firefox vs Chromium claim.
Come on, socialism is an economic system where society owns means of production. That's what happened in USSR. The problem is, society cannot function without structure. There should be some representatives like secretaries. And those people have more power than others, even more, they can have near absolute power. And those people aren't the best. As a result, bad people own all society, and there's nothing to do with it. Under capitalism, if an employer is bad, workers can just quit and find another job. Under socialism, if the employer is bad, there is nothing to do because there is only one employer: the state. Capitalism is not bad, people who have lots of money are bad. But imagine exactly same people gain absolute power. That's what was in the USSR. Greedy people, who wrote anonymous letters accusing others, benefited from it. They received confiscated flats and furniture. People of power lived better than others, they had better flats, better food, better goods. They were "elite". All of them were actually higher class. And they stated they were caring for society. All their deeds were for good, they said.
I believe regulated capitalism and democracy are the best for imperfect humans. If people were ideal, any system would work flawlessly. But people are flawed, and any system giving absolute power leads to a state where bad people rule others.
Thats an overgeneralization. Some white peoples were enslaved while not all black peoples were slaves. The question is more complex than presented.
Socialism
You're a student in a big beautiful city. After graduation, you became a doctor. Now you are sent to a village far away from home to live and work there. And you can't say "no" because the state knows better where you should live.
You're a successful plant director, and you are sent to build a big collective farm. You are OK with moving far away because the state needs you there. After some time, you're told NKVD is searching for you. You say: "It's a nonsense, I did nothing wrong, it's a mistake." Later, you are executed because an anonymous letter against you is enough.
You're a little girl in a village. The state took away all food, so there's nothing to eat. Parents send you to the field after harvesting to search for ears of wheat. Adults are executed if they are caught with three ears of wheat, but children are safe, so you regurly go to the field. But it's not enough, and your parents dig rotten potato, grind it to make potato flour, and bake rotten potato bread. It tastes so awful that you refuse to eat it. Parents try to force you to eat that bread, but you tell them that if they keep trying to force you, you're not going to the field anymore.
You're a communist. You know that people disappear at night. But you believe it's ok because you are told they are bad people hurting the state and society. They are not just people. They are pests.
This game looked like a scam before release. The developers copied art style and their trailer scenes from other games, and never shown gameplay videos. In the trailers it looked like AAA, but was developed by a studio without required experience. There were doubts the game existed at all. Well, it existed, but was far from what trailers shown.
