I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.

This perfectly explains the demise of BlackBerry phones too.

I’m all about the air hockey table.

Connect is much like Sync. In fact, I uninstalled Sync and went back to Connect.

I am aware of the scenario. Sync for Lemmy is not just relaunching into a fresh world here. The dev shouldn’t come in with unreasonable pricing. Not when we can use very nice apps such as Connect instead for free, and ad free.

Inflation is awful. Gas as gone up 18%. Food about 20%. But $8 to $26 is a percentage increase of 225%.

I don’t find your example valid, sorry.

What provinces are you two? I wonder if that’s a factor.

I’m the same as you. I installed Sync too since I used that for Reddit. But Connect is already doing everything Sync did and for free. Sync is asking for some hefty prices. ($26 CDN to get rid of ass!)

I uninstalled it. I’m happy to stick with my Canadian made app anyway. 🇨🇦

It did not cost me $26 CDN. Maybe $8.

No, we’re paying to remove ads. And $26 CDN to remove ads feels really high when I paid $3.69 to remove ads in Boost and $4.49 to remove ads in Relay in 2019.

I like how you bothered to speak of supporting the dev yet mentioned how to stop ads with a VPN based blocker.

I love the concept and idea of them and could see myself utilizing the ones that unfold into a tablet with the S-Pen. But the durability of those screens made me nervous.

That article states she closed down **all **social media comments. This would include Facebook, etc. as well. I feel they see Mastodon as no different than other social media sites.

Would doing this be redundant to https://mstdn.ca who has a tie-in with the CIRA?

Or maybe CBC and mstdn.ca could work together?

We’re just bags of water.

The cycle of life memes.

There are 1 billion active users on Instagram and those users were invited to Threads using an existing account. Celebrities, businesses, streamers, etc. all popped up on Threads within the first few hours of public release.

I’m a big nerd and just learned about the fediverse within recent months. Everyone else I know who uses Twitter and Threads have no clue what Mastodon is.

I had to zoom in on my phone just to be able to read that!

You know… It’s seeing this type of stuff I’m so happy I found my wife the old fashioned way before dating apps existed.

This reminds me, I need to go see if Lemmy has a Thanks I Hate It (TIHI) community yet.
