You're contributing too! Memes, posts, comments, are all vital for Lemmy. Without it there is no community to interact with via the instances/apps.

Jesus Christ, that sounds like the John Wick of dogs

RCS is just a standard, much like how SMS is just a standard. Google's Messaging app is just one implementation of it, though it probably is the most popular in the US it is not the only one, nor is Google able to decide who cannot use it. Carriers typically have their own, though you may have recently heard that T-Mobile decided to switch over to Google's.

I don't have any advice but I need to point out how hilarious that title is out of context

Pyenv! Let the OS have its own version and work on whatever version you want, whenever.

Not defending tracking or anything, but you do not get trackers if you pay. This tracker is just for ads, which you don't get if you pay.

Personally, I love the UI/UX of it and how customizable it is. For me, it's unparalleled, and I'm happy to pay for it to support the independent developer behind it. But I get that not everyone cares about it and would rather use a different option, and it's cool that there are so many different options to interact with the fediverse.

I thought it was a post-Vader Anakin. His lesson to Ahsoka, in my eyes, was that his life, her life, as soldiers led them to a "fight or die" mentality, though maybe "kill or die" is a better way to put it. That's what drove him to the dark side. Only by the end of his life, as he learns from Luke, there is another option.

"You're never too old to learn" isn't just in reference to Ahsoka's age, but in reference to this last lesson he learns from his son, that he now passes onto her.

It's such a little thing, but linking directly to a system setting is so cool to me. For those wondering how to do it, you can long press on a setting and it'll copy the link into your clipboard, already formatted to easily paste somewhere.

Probably an unpopular opinion on here, but the OS I recommend for grandparents and parents is ChromeOS. It's so locked down that it's almost indestructible, and they almost never need any specialized software that you'd use Windows/MacOS for. If you're savvy enough you can also use Linux on it in a container, which is how I prefer to use it for day to day stuff (in my case, data related workflows).

As it turns out, stress actually increases if people have to trade their savings for mental health services

Those Night Troopers look so cool. If I'm not mistaken, there are heavy Japanese influences, their armor wrapped in red cloth and mended with gold, a practice called kintsugi the Japanese use with broken pottery.

It's also just one dude. I'm very okay with supporting this one dude who makes what I think is the best app for this purpose, cuz I want him to keep doing it and to be able to do it full-time!

Viewing a user profile should have the option to see "posts/comments" together, and should default to it, just like Sync for Reddit. Thanks for all your hard work!

Ahsoka v Morgan round 2 was sick. I hope Ahsoka keeps the sword of Talzin and doubles down on the ronin vibe.

OP: shitpost about neckbeards

You: this is a fully serious post about political prosecution and that means actually you're the fascist

Living the life! Oh to be covered in cats

Sync for Lemmy has keyword filtering:

It's a good TV show with a strong influence from the books, but is definitely not and never was going to be a faithful adaptation of the books. I know lots of folks on here/reddit would rather have that, but personally, I am glad for it. I enjoyed the books but I don't know if it's even possible, logistically, production-wise, to have a faithful adaptation, or that it would even be as enjoyable as the show we have. It has its faults but overall it's a good ride with interesting and mostly compelling characters.

The only thing I can think of that is sorta related is called the foot-in-the-door technique. You're meeting someone halfway so they'll be more open to your position.
