Hard to describe how good it feels to have Sync back! Was worried the tablet experience would be left behind but it's as smooth as ever. Thank you LJ! Instant subscription, absolutely no hesitation on that one.

Yeah, I, as a queer person who grew up in a Catholic country, always felt very welcome

There's a pretty big difference in having something on display as part of a set in a video about issues at another outlet, and calling out a link to a product to be purchased in what is supposed to be an apology video by said outlet. LMG also originally had this video monetised and had links to their store and products in the description before finally removing those. GN did none of this because they understood the seriousness of what they were doing - they even called out that the video wouldn't be monetised at the start of it.

I get the point you're trying to make, but it's a bad one.

I'm an immigrant in the UK and the country keeps giving me more and more reasons to leave. It's turned into an absolute xenophobic hellhole in the last few years.

'Murica isn't the center of the world, numbnuts. And neither are you.

They didn't though.

He became PM through an internal Tory vote for a leader, after the previous PM stepped down. She became leader in exactly the same way and had only lasted a seven weeks since her predecessor was forced to quit.

The Tories are truly awful, and their choice of leaders has shown that.

It's listed on their official update video so it does exist. But it says "on compatible devices and countries" so might only be on the newest phones so far?

The comments point you make is a really great one. I was the same on Reddit, never engaging on something because by the time it appeared in my feed, it would be thousands of comments deep. Everything that needed to be said had been said.

But on Lemmy, it's much easier to jump in and actually have a conversation.

I switched over when it was announced Sync for Reddit was closing, but became much more active when Sync for Lemmy arrived due to it being an interface I had been familiar with for a decade. But the move came at a time where I was taking steps to reduce my empty consumption too, deleting social accounts and replacing them with books and newspaper subscriptions. The lower content count on Lemmy is perfect for that as it means I still get great stuff in my feed, but it's not really possible to scroll forever. Instead I now open a newspaper app, use Pocket to read an article I've saved or pick up my book on the Kindle app. I'm generally just consuming much better quality media due to much fewer distractions.

I worked in customer support for a car rental company when I was in my late teens in Ireland. An angry English woman called cause she had some minor issue. She ended up going on a rant saying "I specifically asked to not be given one of these foreign cars. Can't you give me something British, like a Vauxhall?"

I checked her account and could see she was driving an Opel Astra. She wouldn't believe me Vauxhall and Opel were the same brand.

I'm not even going to go into her referring to things as foreign while she was literally in a foreign country...

Is that you, Reagan?

Absolutely. Her treatment after that protest was really disgusting and definitely damaged her career long term, but I'm glad she was at least able to make music work on her own terms, mostly. I was lucky enough to see her live several times and was blown away after every performance. This is a loss that's hit hard.

Strongly recommend this too. It's takes a minute to get used to but once you do, it feels very natural.

It's just late 80s styling. It really ages people when you look back at it, but probably didn't then.

The article summariser is such a fantastic addition!

Is it progress though? It's easy for them to talk the talk, but they don't appear to be doing anything to walk the walk. This is lip service, at best.

It depends on where in Europe you plan on going, but there's an abundance of good Caribbean food in the west, especially the UK. Authentic Mexican is harder to come by, but it's improving.

I second this!

I actually use an Orbitkey holder to keep things neat and less bulky. Strongly recommend adding their multitool to that too, which I find super helpful.

I have a Secrid Miniwallet for cards and some cash, but usually I just use Google Pay so rarely even have that with me now.

I wouldn't go as far it's them saying being gay is okay, but they're claiming all queer people can come and be active members of the church. The issue is that they're saying that while simultaneously treating LGBTQ+ people as second third degree citizens. They are "welcoming" us while also refusing to see us as equal and still claiming homosexuality is ungodly. It's the bullshit cries of a cult in its death throes.

Agreed. My brother and some friends both had humanist weddings over the past few years and they were great. They felt much more like a celebration than anything else which is exactly what a wedding should feel like.

Church weddings feel like slow torture. My uncle's wedding was at a church because the priest was a family friend of his wife's, even though neither of them ever go to mass.

Rumoured to have stealth mechanics, two playable characters and an unknown release date. This is a clickbaity article with literally no new information.
