I’m pretty sure it’s because it’s just a misdemeanor charge or something like that. Too lazy to confirm though.

I think it has more to do with minors operating machinery in the workplace. If he was 18 it’s “just” a horrible workplace accident. But since he was 17, it was illegal for the company to have him operate that piece of equipment and that’s why they were in court over it.

Google’s messaging app actually has a desktop browser based client that you can use to send messages from your computer. So that might actually be a good solution for you. I use it regularly and have no complaints about either the phone app or the web app.

I’m curious how big of a dip there was with macOS when they fully dropped 32 bit support. I’m just one person but a lot of the games I played through steam were older 32 bit games. I don’t think I’ve opened steam on my Mac since that update.

It bothers me that people find it out so supremely confusing and it’s definitely an issue that needs to be addressed because it’s definitely keeping people away. The fact of the matter is, you can go to any Lemmy instance and get that front page experience because the r/all equivalent of each instance shows threads from every other instance (minus defederated, etc but that’s beside the point).

Sync helps in that it is a familiar and polished look and feel for those who used third party Reddit apps, but outside of that it’s just another Lemmy app.

Probably the biggest factor in the confusion is fediverse terms being used to describe the fediverse, which is basically speaking nonsense if you don’t already understand it.

There’s this: Lemmy is a federated link aggregator where anyone can start an instance and communities within that instance and all the instances can communicate and share information. Doesn’t it sound amazing?

Then there’s this: Lemmy is like a version of Reddit where there’s a whole bunch of separate reddit dot coms. You can sign up for whichever one you like to be your home “reddit”. The reddits are all connected, so you can subscribe to subreddits on the other reddits while just logged into your home. You can also post to them, comment, and see the posts and comments from your home.

I’m sure there’s some analogy out there that really boils it down well much better than mine, so please share if you think of one.

Loving it so far! I think everyone freaking out about the pricing needs to chill out and just use a different app.

There’s one thing I’m curious about and wasn’t able to find in the settings. Do we have the ability to turn off the red/blue highlighting on the action area for a post we’ve voted? I don’t like how it looks and find that the font color for the vote count is perfectly sufficient for me to know that I’ve upvoted and downvoted.

It’s pronounced NOOK-YOU-LERRR

RiF is Fun for Lemmy

Haven’t used sync before, but I’m really digging the amount of flexibility in customizing how it looks. Thank you for your hard work in developing this so quickly!

I’m not sure how reliable eBay in Europe is, but I would suggest finding one available from a highly rated seller on eBay.
