I’m one of the few that don’t work in tech but it’s arguably the hobby I spend the most time (and money) with so I’m not sure if I really count. I work in emergency management & specialized response services.

Happy to see I’m not the only one who prefers raspberry jam! Imo it’s truly the perfect pairing

My understanding from briefly looking at the README is that it essentially aims to help with creating balancers of various sizes (variable number of inputs and outputs) as well as allowing you to restrict the amount of space the balancers should use.

Would be great if OP could confirm though.

I switched over to TickTick when Todoist suddenly changed their pricing model a few years ago. I don’t remember the specifics of what happened but I remember being very frustrated with the sudden changes as it would’ve required me to change my whole system.

I’ve been very happy with TickTick since then and would strongly recommend OP checks it out to see if it fits their needs.

Scrubs completely captured what it feels like to work in healthcare. It’s the only medical TV show that I not only managed to finish but actually rewatch often.

I haven’t read the article OP linked but this CBS article I read mentioned that the case was essentially dropped as prosecutors didn’t feel good about it, but after Duane “Keffe D” Davis started doing talk shows and released his book, they felt the case against him got strong enough to prosecute.

I love that it’s already been added to Valve Time.

The volumetric smoke grenades look really interesting. I’ve only seen the clips on their websites but it seems like a great way to add a bit more complexity to them.

Zotero is such a lifesaver. I started using it to allow for easier citations and reference lists but I’ve loved being able to keep my sources organized and saved in one place while doing research. The browser extensions are also super convenient to save everything to sort later on.

Thanks for all your work LJ, it’s clear the value we get from having you be able to dedicate so much time to working on Sync. Love seeing so much improvement to an already great app.

I’m especially happy for the PipedLinkBot feature and profile overview.

Edit: now that the update has shown up on my end and I’ve tried the new features, I’d like to add that I slightly misunderstood what the PipedLinkBot would do, any chance we could have an option for those comments to be collapsed by default instead of hidden?

Not sure what you mean about no autofill on android, it definitely pops up on login fields for me and quickly lets me login with biometrics and then gives me my account. I only ever need to open up the app when I need to force it to sync if I’d just added a login on a different device and it hasn’t synced yet.

I’ve always loved our toonie as well, the two different metals just looks so great. The black ones for remembrance of QEII are especially nice.

I personally have always loved our money in general, a lot of it stands out quite a bit. I do find it quite funny though that even with such unique physical money, we are one of the most cashless countries in the world.

Just fyi, M. in French is only equivalent to Mr, it’s short for Monsieur. Mme (short for Madame) is equivalent to Mrs, and Mlle (short for Mademoiselle) is equivalent to Miss/Ms.

So using M. for everyone is equivalent to saying Mr. for everyone.

I loved SCC, it was such a great show that didn’t get the attention it deserved.

I used to stream a bit back in the justin.tv days and I would usually only get a handful of viewers but even to this day, it was some of the most unique gaming experiences I had. I used to try and play games that no one was streaming/talking about and a couple of times I actually ended up with the devs watching the stream and those were such great memories.

One time, I played this flash game where you had timed “lives” and the dev was watching (without me knowing) when I ran out of lives. I mentioned I’d be going to play something else while I waited for my lives to come back and he sent me a DM telling me that he would go and remove the timer so I could keep playing if I wanted.

That being said, I haven’t streamed since then and I’m honestly not even sure how I’d start again. I don’t think I’d ever enjoy having a large audience but I definitely enjoyed playing with a few people helping out on what to do next.

“I Guess”

Agreed, definitely excited to see what the revised tech tree does to the initial stage of a playthrough as well. This seems like a great way to make the game feel fresh and change up a player’s approach.

You do realize he can charge absolutely any price he wants for a product he created right? He doesn’t have to even offer an ad-supported version, but he’s decided to give the user the choice. If someone wants to use his app for free, they can. And if they don’t agree with his model, they can just not use the app. It’s really not a predatory practice.

I mean, yeah, obviously the dev would rather people pay the subscription when some of the Ultra features require server work and/or continued costs (translation, OCR, etc.).

Developing Sync is his full time job, which is why it initially shipped without a lifetime tier. People voiced their opinion and the dev listened by adding the lifetime option and the ad free option. If you don’t like the pricing, use a different app. Nobody is forcing you to use Sync. LJ doesn’t owe you the app for free (or any price outside of what he feels is fair).

You might have a point if it was the only way to access Lemmy but it’s far from the only app available so I really fail to see how the prices are “abusive”.

Nobody is forcing you to use Sync, or even to pay for any of the subscriptions/one-time purchases.
