Cycling is environmentally friendly, but let's not equate world championship to cycling as transport. The event itself must have a lot carbon footprint. Still, weird choice of event to protest, but I can see them doing what they can to get the publicity they need.

You're free to use any app you want. Some people prefer free open-source apps, some people want to pay for a quality app. It's good to have a choice unlike with Reddit. I don't understand people complaining about having additional choice because they don't like it.

The thing about comment chains is you can collapse them so don't see anything wrong. Let people have their fun and sense of connection with strangers on the internet.

Feds 😏

Instead of "because lemmy", I'd say reddit now charges money for the content, but they did not pay the creator.

Inflation

The ecosystem is open. The app isn't.

If the ecosystem is truly open, anyone can make an app for it and charge for it if they want.

Did you get a "subsidized" phone?

Garden hose. It has a satisfying click, and it stops water flow while disconnected 🤯

People who wear clothes automatically lose this argument.

Lock you house? Close your window blinds? Lock the door when you go to the bathroom?

Yep, you've things to hide.

This idea has one flaw. Millionaires will never take public transport.

Same, already paid for year's subscription too. I used Sync for reddit and trust the developer to make a quality app.

Initially i bought nexus/pixel phones for clean android experience and no bloat.

Staying with pixel mainly for camera quality and free storage on Google Photos.

Its not ideal, but I'm used to it. They never try to do something too gimmicky and it feels like phone made by Google will work best with the os made by google so my experience will be most consistent, but i haven't tried other phones in a while.

Cycling is definitely more freedom than car. Don't need a license, fuel, insurance, etc. And you're not affected by traffic.

Road trips are fun, yes, but have nothing ro do with city congestion.

Use a different app, nobody's forcing you to use Sync.

No. Once my app stopped working, I quit cold turkey. I deleted all content from my reddit account and switched to Lemmy.

I hate it when they do it.

I was on a development end of this and managers always pushed for the ios and android apps to be identical. It always ended up being the ios being the main and android being the afterthought copy.

Whenever i see an android app trying to look like ios, it signals that the quality is lacking.

Levels, Jerry!

I haven't seen any ads yet. Where are they
