It's moderately expensive actually at more like $20 (depending on location) but I'm happy to pay it - it's a great app.

I personally think that a sign of a healthy technology platform is one where some people can make money from it, while the platform itself remains open. To use Linux as an example, it's wonderful that it's open source, and it's great that Red Hat can be a profitable company based on Linux. It's a good sign and it helps the Linux ecosystem thrive due to RH's contributions.
For Lemmy there are plenty of free apps - no-one is being forced to use Sync. I'm happy to pay for something that provides some more polish to my Lemmy experience, and doesn't require anything of anyone else.
I only recently realised that I desperately need "sort by date added" and was surprised that I couldn't! Glad it's here - I accidentally bought a lot of games in the summer sale...
On a big SD card - 100s of Gbs like you'd use in a Deck - the silicon will go very close to the edge.
Even if it didn't though, the force put into the card might have flexed other bits and broken them.
I just refreshed the page expecting to see progress on a few and it's actually "14 closed". Nice work!
Yup, same here Firefox Android.
Yeah, anything after the @ is the instance. Each instance hosts some of the communities (subreddits) and some of the users. Donate to the instance you're signed up to as a first priority and then maybe any other that hosts a load of communities you care about or do a particularly good job at something.
But if you're broke and can't afford it, don't worry! On the other hand those of us who DO have a little bit of disposable income should donate a little here and there to help bring about the internet we want to see.
Everything else in my life is USB-C now - my laptop, my Steam Deck, my ear buds etc. My wife and I are both Android so we only have to have one charging cable anywhere in the house or our bags.
I'm not sure I agree (observing from the outside as a Brit). I feel like Citizens United is the origin of a lot of the problems in modern US politics and that was only 2010.
For those who don't know it, it's a landmark legal case that basically allowed a lot more money into politics. When you make winning politically about who can raise the most money you take power out of most poeple and put it in the hands of rich people. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC
To me the term "Fake News" means "News that is true, but I don't want you to think is true".
That seems to be how it is used by the guy who made the term popular.
Which he is now also doing - one time payment to remove ads permanently.
