Naw OP is right. Music fans, tv show fans, etc all have these weird subgroups that take everything way too seriously and go after people or make threats etc etc. I think it’s more whenever you hyper concentrate people, boil them down like this, that this stuff happens.
I think they’re referencing the phrase “flight straight up” and joking that the flight was going “straight up” in the air and not a modifier akin to “really and truly”.
That’s wild your app was displaying photos sideways. 🥴
What blows my mind is I think they would have been moderately successful if they just said you need to have Premium to be able to use third party apps. I used Reddit for HOURS a day. Honestly it was bad. I wouldn’t have liked it but I probably could have justified to myself paying a small fee per month to be able to continue using Apollo if they had played their cards right. Instead I haven’t been back since before the blackout. 🤷🏻♀️ I should thank spez for cutting my addiction cold turkey.
In the US we’d basically been doing this for decades as kids, sanctioned by the candy makers through pixy stix (which apparently wasn’t even real sugar but maltodextrin).
Kbin currently does not have a public API which is what most developers use to create apps, as such very few people are working on kbin apps and AFAIK they’re not public for testing yet. Artemis by a developer named Harriet (Harriette?) is the only one I know off the top of my head and she’s still in the private stage.
I’m kinda surprised I’m seemingly in the minority of preferring self check. At least before they handicapped all the regular self checkouts and forced everyone to do self checkout. When it was truly optional, especially when it was “20 items of fewer” style, it was so much faster because I’m usually not buying a huge cart worth of items, and I can bag my own way. However now that Susan with her month’s worth of groceries for her family of 4 is also in self checkout, it makes it less efficient.
Yeah, I’m also not a fan of the dairy lobby coming for my “plant milk” label. I’m in the US, where AFAIK nothing has stuck. But I believe in the EU they’ve now officially had to implement the “beverage” label (please correct me if I’m wrong!), which kinda sucks imo but whatever. Despite what the dairy industry thinks, it’s not going to stop people buying plant milks.
iPhones come with a few apple-specific apps most people don’t want/need (think GarageBand, Apple Home, etc) but they’re all removable and don’t re-install themselves.
You can subscribe to that instance’s communities from your current account, or make an account there for just NSFW (I personally like to keep my NSFW and regular browsing separate and I find that’s the easiest way 🙂)

Couldn’t this be said of…anything posted to an aggregator site? A large chunk of Lemmy (and Reddit) is screenshots of other sites.
A lot of stuff posted to Lemmy isn’t funny to me either but my opinion doesn’t matter much.
Not sure if I’m wooshing or you’re serious about being this particular about this post.
