Doesn't work for me

Edit: oh, it's a swipe gesture. I wish I could edit directly from my comment history, though.

Okay, I just tried Thunder. This is the best one yet. Clean UI, everything's fast. How do I edit a comment, though?

Voyager definitely needs to add some loading/activity indicators and implement better separation between interface and data fetching. But it's definitely the cleanest UI I've tried so far.

Oh, that, I was not aware of. Okay, that is a kinda bullshitty.

Yep, Brother is the GOAT. I bought a basic Brother laser printer 10 years ago for a hundred bucks and I've replaced the toner, like, twice. Never given me a single problem.

Yes, exactly like that

Actually, I don't think this is a fitting meme.

This isn't a rent-seeking, wallet rape bullshit "subscription" (like BMW heated seats), it's a legitimate subscription service where they just order and ship a product automatically for you on a regular schedule (like Amazon) and give you a discount. Also, you're not forced to purchase a subscription, you can just buy retail cartridges if you prefer.

This actually makes a lot of sense for people who print regularly and frequently.

Edit: it has been pointed out to me that there is, in fact, some tomfuckery involved with this subscription model

huh, TIL

TBF, those are black bears. Black bears are pussies.

I encountered a weird bug with connect, where I'm logged in, but I can't access my profile or inbox. Some parts of the app think I'm logged in, others do not.

It's mobile optimized, but it's painfully slow and laggy. Have they fixed the annoying post auto-loading?

So far, all the lemmy apps I've used are in very early stages and quite buggy. Currently enjoying WefWef (PWA / web-based app) which I like the best.

Looking forward to Sync, though!

Would you get on a plane with a 1 in 10 chance of crashing?

lol fair enough, although iPhone ownership puts a finger on the scale

In what way is iOS more secure than Android?

Eh... it's pretty, I guess, but it's just too "appified" for power users. My Thunderbird UI is festooned with useful buttons and menus for quick access, and I like the old style of having elements tightly spaced to maximize contextual awareness.

This reeks of form over function. Yuck.

Apparently this only works with Android 11+ because of a permissions issue or something, and my devices are too old. Most or all of the apps have been open sourced on github, why don't they just patch the code and repackage the APKs?

For its own sake, no. Unless I happen to be doing something I intrinsically enjoy that happens to give me exercise, I hate it every time. I need some really motivating tunes otherwise, and they wear out fast after a few listens.

I don't care what phone you have, but if you have an iPhone, I will assume you are an idiot by default until proven otherwise.

What we didn't have was algorithmic social media. That needs to a die a fiery death in the depths of hell.

If it were up to me, algorithmic curation and promotion based on viewership history would be outright illegal.
