I have no idea why so many people are upset about Sync. There are so many FOSS alternatives. Just... don't use it? It literally doesn't impact you at all.

"MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions."

Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.

Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

• Heavily taxing the rich
• Enacting drastic climate policy
• Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
• Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun

Did you read the article? The guy almost killed himself from having to listen to comments like this one. Asshole. Keep it to yourself.

Was this written by AI?

It pains me to agree, since the community put so much effort into these, and that's truly appreciated, but I don't feel like any of them live up to Voyager's aesthetic. They're all kinda amateurish. Hopefully the devs do another one of these contests in time.

You already kinda said it—this is a problem with the relationship with your boss, not with the book.

With my boss, I can just say, "Honestly, this one was a miss for me. I appreciate the recommendation, and I wanted to give it a chance, but I didn't find much actionable substance in it. What did you get out of it?"

If you don't feel like you can do that, have a conversation with him about how he likes to receive feedback. If the answer is "he doesn't," it might be time to go boss shopping. But I doubt that will be the case.

The sound... the sound haunts my dreams

Remember when 2,000 upvotes was enough to get you to the Reddit front page? Feels like that era with Lemmy, and it is sweet.

Both cold and hot showers have health benefits. Cold showers can help reduce inflammation, relieve pain, improve circulation, lower stress levels, and reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. Hot showers can improve cardiovascular health, soothe stiff joints, and improve sleep.

I'm realizing this is basically the McDonald's fry container. Narrow on the bottom, but wide at the top, fanning the fries out so the maximum amount are displayed. Low cut top to show the fries' cleavage. The back is higher to support these fanned out fries. More of a stuffed envelope shape than a box, which takes up the same amount of space, visually, but fits fewer fries. The bottom is also rounded up to create the illusion of there being more room on the inside. Everything works together to deceive you.

I disagree. The views during /r/place are negligible. Advertising Lemmy and stealing their users: priceless.

So what does he want to be called? Just a rat? But - there are actual rats, which are already called rats. Unless those don't exist in this universe, "ratman" seems like a pretty reasonable term. He has both rat and humanoid features.

I appreciate you honestly giving your opinion when it conflicts with the popular sentiment, and I don't think you should be downvoted for that.

But this is such a shit take, wtf.

Use treats or toys, whichever your cat likes. No surprise here, but laser pointers are especially effective for getting your cat to look somewhere in particular. When you're taking the photo, get down to their eye level for more of a connection. Use a camera with a fast shutter speed, since they're going to move no matter what you do. Use natural light, it looks best with their fur.

This seems like a bit of a strawman argument. I haven't seen anyone say that explicitly—if they have, it certainly isn't common. I have seen people say they're willing to pay for a "higher quality app," and I can see how you could interpret the implication there being that FOSS apps are shitty in comparison. For me, though, I don't interpret it the same way, and I'd assume positive intent. Some people like Sync better than the other apps and are willing to pay for it. That's it, really.

How is this unpopular? The company wouldn't exist if people didn't like eating there.

Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a "J" sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:

NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration

NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization

LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus

FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht

ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible

POC- People ohhf solor

PIN- Personal id-entification number

BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn

POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States

YOLO- You only live ohhnce

AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave

WTF, this is hilarious

We can have nice design without the corporate bullshit. They aren't the same thing.
