My take is; it just works. It just happen to be a pleasure to browse with the app that I paid for an ad-free experience. Yay for small devs making great products.
FOSS is great, but I love to pay for a good experience.
Apparently sync was a popular reddit app (I think, I never heard of it before), which has now launched for lemmy. The result being that 50% of all posts on lemmy is now about sync for some reason.
Guerrilla marketing or just very very dedicated fans?
Isreal-Palestine is more complicated than Ukraine-Russia. Russia invaded Ukraine using bullshit claims like Ukraine is full of Nazis and parts of Ukraine have voluntarily separated from Ukraine and joined Russia.
Both the Isrealies and Palestinians were legally given the territory by the UK who took it over during WWII (because why not?) After discovering its the only place in the middle east with no oil they traded it to two different nations accidentally. Oops! And then they told the newly formed UN to fix it. The UN divided the country up into an impossible to implement puzzle piece arrangement that Isreal quickly ignored.
They then became an ultra rich nation by becoming world leaders in military weapon design and manufacturing. Because they’re so rich and produce something very valuable, they have a lot of nations who are willing to look the other way in the border dispute. However, Palestine has valid claims still and are definitely being mistreated. Unfortunately for them, they don’t have lots of money or advanced weapons.
Israeli connections with the US is the main reasoning behind the lack of outcry imo.
Israel has also taken a turn very much for the worse. The mistreatment we have witnessed previously is nothing compared to what could be coming. This is so severe even parts of the Israeli army have gone on strike. Israeli is being usurped by theocracy which sees arabs as non human. They wish to remove all rights and privileges from arabs all together. The only difference between this and Isis is the book being used to govern the rules.
The stance of “you didn’t care about X, so you’re not allowed to care about Y” is pretty fucking dumb.
The illegal annexation of Crimea is inherently different.
Russia had good propaganda and muddied the waters by arguing that the majority of the population wanted this.
Ukraine did not stand a chance against the invading forces. The whole attack was finished in a month. The chances of retaking Crimea at that point were next to zero.
That was 8 years ago and the situation has changed dramatically.
I agree, I hate all the Sync subscription shilling in my feed. I also hate its personal data spying. Sync fanboys should shut the fuck up and buy subscription and use it silently, like other Jerboa/Connect/Liftoff/Infinity users. Sync fanboys are doing this “BTW I use Arch Sync” crap with posts and comments.
I used paid Sync Dev reddit for a few years, and now I hate it because of its fanbase’s antics.
We know it’s not all of you. Your generation also fought for civil rights, explored space, invented jogging I think.
We have shitheels in our generation too. And I fear they’ll become more and more prominent as we get older. I hope we’re able to dampen their greed and intolerance.
