Joy Division’s debut album in 1979… “Unknown Pleasures”. Giving some insight into the title of this post.

US - Ohio 50+ Yes, and because I can always have owned and driven manual transmission cars. Daily driver has always been a manual. As long as I drive an ICE powered vehicle it will be a manual.

I love and seek out restaurants that use online ordering and payment. I don’t need someone waiting on me. I’m in the US and they are not paid a living wage, the work is difficult with little reward. Now there is a place in my neighborhood where you sit down the QR code is table based, interaction is simple, clear and designed to work (uses Toast as the backend iirc). You order, the order stays open till you pay it’s a restaurant/bar so if you need another you don’t have to do anything but tap on your phone. They have amazing helpful servers that are paid well. You pay on your phone and leave when you are done. It’s amazing.

I think this is more about power dynamics than currency and menus. I think many people just want or more accurately demand that others (with less power) to serve them. I’ve even heard people say “it’s not my job to check me out or take my order.” Those same people treat their waitress like shit, when those waitresses are paid basically nothing to take the abuse. Then they try to weasel out of the bill. Seen it time and time again.

Now, some restaurants do poor a poor implementation of modern menus and it’s frustrating. However… long term those that do it well will win. It reduces friction and costs leading to lower prices higher margins and quicker more accurate service.

Sync user so it looks and basically feels the same. Just the volume of posts is missing. My other issue is I used a lot of smaller communities and they haven’t migrated… Yet. So it’s hard to get answers to things without going back to the /r which I try to avoid.

This is me too. Sync was how I consumed/participated reddit just the backend - I’m happy in the fediverse if I can use Sync. What we touch and interact with IS the important part. Sync for me and yes it’s worth the subscription. Either I’m the product or the consumer. I’ll gladly compensate the artist/author to avoid being the product (free is not always free).

I’m a day 1 Ultra! I have so missed the Sync experience since Reddit went apeshit cray cray. When sync for Reddit went dark I haven’t gone back. I left it installed just In case I clicked a reddit link. I haven’t been back to Reddit. But I will log one one final time to review my subs and then reddit is dead. Sync for Lemmy feels so familiar and awesome to use. Can’t wait to help develop new communities here in the fediverse.

Day 1 Ultra Sub! Loved Sync for Reddit have been trudging along in kbin and Lemmy while this was being worked on. I am so excited… It feels so familiar! Thank you LJDawson!
