For the fourth day in a row, Earth has broken or equalled its hottest average temperature record

I used to worry about this a lot, I still do but I used to too.

Joking aside, it's a shit show that us plebians can't really do anything about but I still try. I've driven a hybrid for the last 6 years, I have a smart thermostat to try to save energy, I try to eat less meat more often. I recycle a lot more than most. I even make my own bread and nut milks and many other things which is not only cheaper and healthier (and WAY more delicious) but requires less transport related greenhouse gas emissions than buying premade breads and nut milks. Nut milk is especially better than dairy milk in that matter.

Oh yeah! And yesterday I picked up 10 large trash bags of litter:

Sync for Reddit is dead

I just used the revanced hack to make it still work by making Reddit think it's my own developed app. Able to use it right now!

But I REALLY like Lemmy, so even if I occasionally use Reddit after that dumpster fire, my usage will be split in half by Lemmy.

This is me. I'm going to occasionally see posts that Google links me to, and I may even login once in a while on the website on my PC to browse a bit, but my days of constant participation are basically over.

Reddit Sync IS Reddit to me. I've used it at least weekly for 11 years straight. But TBH, the fediverse is very similar and I don't think I'll miss Reddit much. Especially as the more niche communities start to develop over here too.

POLL - Will you stay on lemmy?

I don't need another social media site that is trying to sell my data, feed me endless ads, AND has a dictator at the helm.

I'm not deleting my Reddit account, and I won't stop using Reddit entirely, but I'm done using Reddit multiple times a week and will mostly browse occasionally or through search results from Google.

I was deeply sad when all this began and Sync for Reddit was being shutdown, but Lemmy legit feels just like Reddit only better!

Plus, with Sync for Lemmy in development I couldn't be happier!!! Just needs to grow with more users and activity for those more niche communities to develop. But I'm all in for the decentralized future!

EU votes to mandate removable batteries in smartphones in a landslide; no more glued together junk!

Couldn't disagree more. Wireless charging with magnetic attachment like magsafe is a godsend for using my phone as a GPS. Just slap it onto it's magnetic wireless charger and go. Pull it off when done. A million times better than the old chargers that grip the phone and then also having to plug it in every time I need to drive somewhere, then undo it all when I get there.
