Just as an aside, donating does not have to be monetary. Helping (if possible) with development, triaging issues or helping with support/forums of any kind, along with in general filing good issues goes miles for FOSS projects, especially larger ones with only a few developers.

Serious thanks for all of your hard work, as well as everyone else working on Lemmy through software of running instances.

Memmy is ready 👍

Surprisingly I was just looking and there are a ton of active mods still in development. Pretty cool.

Yes!

This reminds me of how upset I was to break my Battlefront CD when I was younger. One of those games you had to enter the CD for to start. Needless to say, that was what started my torrent and crack experience.

Such a great game. The mods and third party maps were awesome. No edition after the first ever lived up to that, especially this new crap they came out with.

My plex server is the best streaming experience I ever had. Only stopped running it because I just wasn’t watching anything for a good bit. More time on my hands now, so time for a revival.

The absolutely number one thing that allowed me to actually use the thing though was Yabai+SKHD. Tiled windows and the full customization of hotkeys make this thing so much more usable and, frankly - surprisingly - it’s grown on me.

That isn’t an iDevice specific issue. It’s how a ton of mobile devices handle charging of the battery for various reasons, including the obvious one of you being mid boot and losing power to the device.

On the note of testing, Pest is still one of the best testing options I’ve seen across a variety of langs.

Holy hell as someone who still avidly writes PHP, this gives me goosebumps.

I’ve seen this BS parroted before. There are in fact studies that show post-COVID increases in autoimmune disorders. However, the same studies showed that vaccinated individuals were less likely to have developed those disorders.

Naturally if there’s a link between COVID and autoimmune disorders there will be vaccinated patients in those numbers. They try and make it seem like the vaccinated patients are the numbers though 🙄

Doesn’t have to be anyone famous. These people find every opportunity in their daily lives to attribute deaths of family, friends, coworkers, you name it to the vaccine.

For sure. People find a niche they like and then think that is the solution to any problem. Until, of course, some new shiny tech catches their eye and they try that out (or their favorite clickbait Medium writer comes out with an article about “Why you shouldn’t be using ____ anymore in 2023”). Then the love of their life gets thrown to the curb.

Very widely used still and well maintained. It’s been a good options since 7 came around. Most of the hate IMO comes from people who were working with PHP4/5 code or people who just saw PHP4/5 code and think that’s what the language is today.

I mean that’s generally the case with most tech. Just like the never ending PHP hate. Plenty of reasons to dislike or not use it but no reason to think it’s the scum of the earth.

About the only good thing about npm is that I can use one of the superior alternatives. Using npm is almost always a headache as soon as you start working with a decent number of packages.

Yea this is the thing I keep saying. Who cares about if you’re paying $20 for an app if that’s what you want to do. Just remember to help out the instances who are running things to make that app work. I think a lot of people realize this and that’s great, but I’m sure some people also don’t. So, instead of circlejerking about Sync being $20, it would have been better for make one or two posts days ago with that reminder and leave it be. Instead, we see the circlejerk continuing days later.

Sync is for Android :)

I think they are saying that without the core Lemmy team, there wouldn’t be a platform for Sync to build off of (or Kbin, but same thing applies). There’s obvious truth in that statement, but I don’t think it’s a reason to belittle people for being willing to pay for an app. However in OP’s case here, (at least without the edit) it does kind of come across as a “fuck you” to the actual platform that Sync is using. Probably not his intention, but perception is reality.

If anything though, we should be reminding people of this and asking them to consider also donating to the continued development of Lemmy or to the running of the instance they use. Not sure why there’s this huge circlejerk about people paying for Sync. Let people do what they want…
