Fun fact: The “unsinkable” actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)
Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.
I was excited to try Sync after all the hype (read: advertising) on Lemmy, saw that it had ads, and noped the fuck out.
You do you, but I’m not gonna use that kind of garbage. Ads don’t “keep apps accessible”. Instead, they poison your mind specifically and suck balls in general. The entire advertisement model is flawed, and certain kinds of people only put up with it because they don’t know better.
Exactly. I have no problem with people trying to make money from software, but FOSS tools should be supported over proprietary ones wherever possible, and it’s nobodies fault that FOSS is often the better technical choice anyway. As someone with ADHD: fuck all ads, I demand a peaceful mind.
there’s a lot of hate for sync out there, maybe it’s just because I’ve been using the Reddit version for years but I really love it. i do think some people aren’t aware that it’s only existed for Lemmy for about 3 or 4 days. there’s going to be issues this early on even if the codebase is adapted from a working app. an app this polished already is impressive to me, the pricing isn’t something a fan of but I can almost guarantee it’ll be evened out sooner or later
My instance’s admin explained that those brief errors are due to the database deleting banned users posts in an extremely inefficient manner. Basically more growing pains because Lemmy never saw this kind of activity before
Well that’s interesting. I’m honestly fine with the downtime and feel empathy for the admins. It’s a small price to pay for non-silicon valley bro social media.
Gini coefficient (aka income inequality) is far more closely correlated to gun violence than gun ownership is. Pushing for more/stonger unions, socializing healthcare, building walkable cities, and spending more on education would do far more to reduce gun violence while improving people’s lives dramatically
I think it’s told as the second person being a psychologist, which is also a bit weird, visiting a random psych in a city you’ve never been to, not mentioning your profession at all and him suggesting you should see a clown a treatment.
