I have YouTube ReVanced on my phone. If YouTube ever defeats uBlock Origin on my desktop, I just won't watch YouTube on desktop anymore. I refuse to watch or view ads.

Liberals are incapable of intelligent conversation with others, especially those of opposing viewpoints. They've been trained to desire and maintain the status quo (Capital), even in the face of creeping fascism, and will parrot insults at anyone who doesn't tow the line. 'Tankie' is just the newest term.

It's just western red scare paranoia with a millennial twist. I hadn't peeked at those communities before, but I'll make sure they're given a wide berth now.

I mean liberalism in the sense of support for things like private property, liberal 'western' democracy and an exploitative, laissez-faire approach to market economies. I am American; perhaps I'm just not understanding the varied meaning of the word?

I was watching the counter yesterday as various subreddits went dark, and I started watching when it hit 1200, and woke up this morning with it being over 6000.

There was an initial hurdle to understanding how instances work together / how to search between them, but now that I have that figured out, it's a lot easier. Most of the communities that I actively interacted with already have similar communities here on Lemmy. r/FountainPens was a big one for me.

I’ve got Lemmy, a glitchy beta iOS app to view it with and I’m rollin’ with it. It’ll get better in the coming weeks and months.

My stereo can do Bluetooth for music. That's good enough for me. I hope my car lasts forever because I don't want anything like that in my car.

I do not cross picket lines. Later this week, once the protest is officially over, I plan on going on Reddit, backing up my data using the PowerDeleteSuite another user posted about, and then overwriting and deleting my comments and posts with a message about the protest, before closing my account entirely.

Lemmy has already grown a nice community of people, and I'll be glad to contribute and watch it grow over time!

I remember when it rose from $6.25 to $7.25 when I was working at Kroger in high school. At the time it was a nice little bump, but the fact that it hasn't changed since is criminal.

They're about 1/5 of the way through the subreddits that said they would go dark. It's crazy watching all of them blink out in real time.

I’ve been using Memmy for over a week now, and the amount of development in that time is insane! It’s progressing so fast, and I don’t even feel the need to use the web version of Lemmy anymore.

Please let this pass in the US as well. I want apps that don't have to send a 30% cut to Apple just for existing on their appstore, plus apps that Apple would never approve of in their high standards.

I work in IT, and I don’t have any ‘smart’ things at home. I don’t want to come home and troubleshoot more dumb junk.

I don’t even have a smart watch. My watch tells the time, has a timer, etc and that’s all I need.

I’m sad that Apollo is gone, but Memmy for Lemmy fills the hole left in my Home Screen just fine. The app has already progressed so far, it’s licensed under the GPL, and it has made my transition from Reddit to Lemmy flawless.

I use Fedora. I like the combination of recent, stable, up-to-date software, new releases every six months, and firmware updates for my ThinkPad direct from Lenovo.

I'm loving to see all these people jumping to Linux. I switched back in 2008 with Ubuntu 8.10. So much has changed since then.

I hate the heat, and especially sweating when I’m not specifically exercising. The other day it was 43C / 110F (Texas), and it’s miserable. 😭

I was one of those job numbers in June. 😐

I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I'd also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it's free and open source.

Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I've already seen (so it doesn't show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.

This is why I use xManager for free Spotify Premium, YouTube Revanced for free YouTube premium, and torrent everything else that I need. I'm so tired of subscriptions for literally everything.
