Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

    Yeah coming to lemmy and finding out about the so called communist reminded me more of those in favor of the small ruling elite like the pigs from Animal Farm was surprising. Not realizing they are the ones being sent to the glue factory while the pigs lounge around enjoying the lavish life in this so called communist workers paradise.

    Reminded me nothing of socialists or at least what I think of socialism with it reminding me of more the monarchy. They seem more like nationalists who coopted socialism/communism to white wash what they actually support and overlooking the elite ruling class that they are not a part of.

    Much like the fascists in Western countries who deny they are fascists and are for democracy while supporting ideas of coups for life time dictators that hold their views. Very similar groups.

    I love syncthing. So convenient for transferring files between windows, android, and MacOS. Platform agnostic is the best.

    Obtanium is awesome too for simplifying the process of updating apks from github.

    First one was so fun, but what are they going to do for a sequel? I hope it's not a retread of the same premise, but they just go full Evil Dead crazy.

    How is that even measured when you see big budget games with DRM flop and games without DRM get crazy sales. Do consumers who pirate but are willing to pay full price for a game even that significant?

    I'm saying they are using it like a rss in the fact that they are mainly there just to follow and be fed content. It's where they go if they want direct content submissions from blank famous person.

    You seem more fixated on arguing semantics.

    Regular people likely care more about being able to follow who they follow than ads, which they are more likely to put up with even for basic browsing. Last bit was just how I use it.

    Not with squawker for Twitter. Displays only people you follow and in chronological order. There's no recommendations or ads.

  • Instead of going to the Android community it goes to /c/all when I try to visit while logged into lemmy.ca. I tried logging out and back in to see if that would solve it.
