  • The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly... Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it's like the wild wild west over here... I promise I'm not fearing for my life every time I go out.

  • The extreme left views (I'm liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)

  • The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.

  • The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let's be real, how many casual users are doing this?)

  • People always asking if something is FOSS...

These are just a few off the top of my head.

Sorry if this is posted already, but will we be able to view bookmarks soon and also be able to save posts?

This is quickly becoming my favorite Lemmy app on iOS and it’s really smooth on the iOS 17 beta!

I have Linux on my laptop but I have a Windows gaming PC and I'm honestly trying to figure out how could you not get steam to start? Never had an issue with that before..

[-] KuroJ@lemmy.world 108 points 11 months ago

I honestly don't see what the problem is. If you prefer FOSS use FOSS apps.

I've tried every single Lemmy app for iOS and Android, but I can honestly say nothing comes close to how smooth and native Sync feels.

I wasn't even a Sync user on Reddit so I didn't understand the hype, but I get it now. On my Pixel 6 Pro all of the other Lemmy apps had some kind of issues, whether that be random crashes or frame rate issues. But Sync is just so smooth and feature rich.

I've also joined the sync discord and the developer is very clear on what type of data he collects (He doesn't, but Google may).

Also with the pricing, if you don't agree with the price that's your opinion, but the amount of complaining is ridiculous. He made the app so whatever he wants to charge is his decision. You can also still freely use the app (with ads) so no one is forcing you to buy.

Ahh yes Florida, please teach me how slavery was such a beneficial thing for my race.

I’m sure the millions of slaves that were forced to work in fields without pay, murdered, raped, and were threatened just for wanting equal rights would agree with you.

Yet they still want us in the office...

I work remote twice a week, which is nice, but I seriously wonder why I even have to go to the office the other three days.

Most of who I communicate with to do my job is not even in my location, so I'm regularly using Microsoft teams and WebEx. Also all the programs are accessible on my work laptop from home.

Swipe sensitivity? (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by KuroJ@lemmy.world to c/lemmyconnect@lemmy.ca

Hi all,

I just switched over to Android and I'm enjoying the connect app so far!

I did have a question about the swipe sensitivity though. When I swipe to upvote a comment I constantly keep swiping too far and end up saving the comment instead.

I checked through the settings, but unless I'm missing something, it doesn't seem there's a way to slow down the swipe feature.

Edit: In case it helps, I'm using a OnePlus 9.

Ok CNN. I'll follow your lead and start using public transportation.

That just involves me leaving my house at 4am and driving 9 minutes to the local bus stop, then take a bus ride for 37 min, transfer from there to another bus for another 19 min ride, transfer to another bus and ride for an hour, then either call an Uber for a 3 min ride or I can walk for 30 minutes to reach my workplace.

Or... I can just drive and reach my workplace in 40min.

I would love to use public transportation, and when I lived in Japan that's all I ever used, which I much preferred to a car.

America first needs to get serious about establishing actual reliable and accessible transportation in order for more people to use it.

This is a picture I took when I was on vacation in Japan of Hōkan-ji Temple in Kyoto.

I miss it already and I'm ready to go back!

That’s insane, well I know one thing. This is making me want to go download the DuckDuckGo browser.

Hello all,

I'm in the market for buying a new laptop to install Linux on. I'm trying to stay with something relatively cheap (Around $300 and below). I'm getting ready to start a degree program in cyber security and did some research, and it seems Kali Linux would be the best distro for me to install.

I would install it on my current computer, but I only have a 2015 MacBook Pro, and I've read that a few people run into some issues installing on a Mac compared to a regular PC.

With the above in mind, do I need to increase my budget or does Linux run fine on low-end laptops?

Thanks!

No shade to the other app developers! Just have grown accustomed to seeing these Memmy updates constantly!

[-] KuroJ@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

I feel sad seeing all of these goodbye posts from these developers that have put so much work into these apps only to have Reddit just spit in their face and not even be willing to negotiate any type of agreement

[-] KuroJ@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago

All I have to say about this is that this was a blessing in disguise for me. I’ve never heard of the fediverse until this Reddit fiasco happened. I’m having a lot better time here being part of something new and it feels good to start fresh.
