It's kinda funny that "let people have things" has only about 9 out of 10 people in agreement.

Also this dev must have made some serious bank in 24 hours, holy smokes

That's how we're tempted to think about it, but they made zero dollars an hour for all the time spent working on it until the release.

Yup. Enable my doomscrolling habit = take my money.

With the even upvote/downvote ratio on this, it's almost tempting to think this is somehow an edgy opinion. Wild times.

To your point though, I'd imagine the people that used Sync for Reddit would absolutely find it easier than learning a new app.

Agreed, I'm not even sure what it's like to concern myself with what software other people prefer. Seems like it's clearly "withhold your limited fucks to give" territory.

Amen! There's plenty of content to doomscroll through as well. I genuinely don't miss Reddit as that part of my brain forgets it's not Reddit. Hell, we should call Lemmy "I can't believe it's not Reddit" and hire Fabio to do a commercial.

User name checks out. I scrolled all the way down to make sure I can say this and still be original in this particular instance only.

Having seen a similar issue in a different game, I don't believe that's true. The solution involved disabling cloud saves, clearing out a local folder, then re-enabling cloud saves or...something.

Anywho, here's an article with some steps OP @Tag365@lemmy.zip https://geekrumor.com/1362/how-to-delete-cloud-saves-on-steam/

They may work, they may not. Nobody knows cause it's the internet and nobody updates old articles for new versions of platforms.

This is a good point, people are the sum of their good actions and negative actions. They don't cancel each other out though.

Me: "gestures broadly at everything"

Yeah, and there are numerous factors at play. You've mentioned people exiting the workforce as if the whole thing had sinister undertones, (almost like the baby boomers retired) but not companies shuttering due to COVID, jobs being outsourced, jobs going part-time to avoid paying out benefits, jobs that disappeared due to automation or AI...the remote work boom, people who chose to go back to school during COVID, retire early, or stay home rather than risk dying. They still measure unemployment how they always have, I am neither fooled nor in need of learning here. There's an entire argument that the unemployment rate is actually too low right now, contributing to inflation. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/07/perspectives/inflation-jobs-recession-rubenstein/index.html

Then there's this Forbes article that talks about the unemployment rate including labor participation rate but includes this bit about the boomers: "This trend was apparent during the 2010s, a decade with a strong economy that saw labor force participation fall from 64.4% to 63.6% as the percentage of the population 65 or older rose from 13.1% to 16.5%." The point is that it's possible for the participation rate to fall even though the economy is strong due to demographics.

The overall point is that you can't just stare at one number and get a complete picture whether it's participation rate or unemployment but that doesn't mean they're "intentionally figuring these numbers in their favor" They paint a rosy picture from accurate statistics and look on the bright side like every administration because consumer confidence is an important indication of a strong economy as well, and it's good leadership, to be honest. "Lies, damn lies, and statistics" is still a valid point but either party would be touting their low unemployment numbers, as they should. The economy literally gets stronger the more you convince people it's stronger. The full picture is way more complicated than the unemployment rate, but that does not at all map to "the unemployment rate is doctored." or even "misleading." The unemployment rate is what it is...it's the narrative that's fudged, not the numbers.

Your comment could be distilled down to "Let people have things" and is still getting downvotes lol. Yeesh.

I fully agree and think that the ones who praise Jesus and our country the most tend to be the closest to antichrists and traitors. That they idolize Trump and want us to treat foreign refugees like trash instead of humans only solidifies that in my mind.I keep that one to myself in public though, lol.

This is the part that baffles me, he's obviously a whiny little rich kid that had everything handed to him, can't stand literally any criticism, and talks about how unfair everyone mistreats him despite being a billionaire president. The migrant trying to cross the river to escape to a better life and hitting razorwire barrels in the Rio Grande can say life is unfair, the billionaire ex-president needs to shut the fuck up about what's fair. The irony is that he's the least masculine man I can think of, he just runs his mouth about the same people the hillbillies do.

That's a poor argument as you're trying to say that this time we should compare apples to oranges. It's also an argument you could use any time you disagree, essentially waiving the facts. Sorry, but no. Disingenuousness requires intent, the unemployment numbers are measured the same way year in and year out. If you want to argue that the number of people leaving the workforce skewed the numbers this badly, you'd need to show your work, not just attempt to disregard the actual data.

I think you're onto something, that to conservatives certain people even existing is political.

Good point!

No worries, just clarifying. It would've been happy news if the admins were leaving their overlords.

Wow. All the top comments are about finding / joining / onboarding.

Then it's a solid complaint. A quick story as to why you don't understand it: I use to do tech support and I'd hear so many coworkers get super frustrated about how stupid the people calling in were, because they couldn't even do..whatever the thing was. I would make a point to the new hires that they knew how to do this stuff because they're techies, because this is what they grew up learning. The doctor or lawyer or professor on the other end of the call is not stupid whatsoever...in fact, they're likely much smarter than the person calling them stupid, they just took a different path. The techie is unable to fathom that the depth of their own technical knowledge is not common knowledge whatsoever and takes the basics for granted. At its core is an inability to see one's self as more than a standard deviation from the norm. Cheers.

Do you mean admins or mods?
