I am a 31-year-old gay man who loves technology, sim racing, and spending time with my husband, cat, and dog. I spent 12 years working as an automotive technician and recently changed careers to IT. Now I am working to finish my Cybersecurity degree.

Wow. Imagine that. It's almost as if when you let neo-nazis and far right rats take over a platform it becomes a toxic environment.

This is what fascism looks like folks.

Personally, I think the app is absolutely fine without paying for the subscription. I really don't see too many ads. I get an average of one ad for every two refreshes of the feed when scrolling through, and none of them have been obtrusive. It's certainly night and day when compared to the ads in the official Reddit app.

I am really hoping some regulatory body strikes this down. Where's the EU when we need them?

I'm a Linux user, so I use .gz and .bz primarily for compression. If I just need to archive without compression I'll just make a tarball. People on windows never complain. Maybe it's just that I'm in the IT field, but most people have an archiving program installed. Plus, I am pretty sure Win11 can open most archive formats natively now.

It has gotten orders of magnitude worse since Elmo took over.

This Baseus USB C 65 Watt 3-port charger. I recently bought one to carry in my laptop bag as a portable charger, and it has proven to be indispensable. I've already used it while out and about or on trips out of town to simultaneously charge 3 devices at once. Such as my phone, earbuds, and laptop. It's so small and lightweight, and you can bring a single charging brick to take care of all your devices. I'm never going back to having to carry multiple chargers with me.

Yeah, the future of democracy in the US hinges on this case.

Yeah, pretty much.

No, not at all. I am really fond of Material You. I think it is a nice mix of modern and playful. The colors are great too. I seek out applications that adhere to the material you standards and allow for using system colors. I have a Pixel 7 and a Pixel Watch. I'm excited to see what Material You looks like on the watch when the Wear OS 4 update comes.

Most of the top Nazi officials escaped to Argentina, and the more talented scientists ended up working for the US government.

I'm on Lemmy.world. I just picked it because it was one of the biggest, but I haven't been entirely happy with it.

Yeah, I agree. I have replaced all my C-to-C cables with 2 meter cables. The 1 meter cables are just too damn short.

Same. I have a PiHole on my home network and it blocks the ads in Sync. I still see the empty box where the ad would be though. If I am out of the house the only way I can get that ad blocking back is by connecting to my home VPN server.

Some of it is though. For example, they take forever to update their servers when new versions of Lemmy are released and it often breaks compatibility with apps. They also have constant service disruption. Even if it is ddos attacks, they should be trying to mitigate them.

I don't live in the EU. I have contacted my local representatives in the US, but we all know they are useless and won't do a damn thing about it.

They are an embarrassment to Americans.

r/Fedora and r/ThinkPad. Those are the two I spent the most time in. I will also really miss my guilty pleasure subreddits like r/gaystoriesgonwild, r/Twinks, and r/GayKink. Haha.

I can make different rules based on the device group with PiHole.
