What a disappointment.

Same, woo for my security I guess!

My cheap rice cooker burns it if I wait for the click. I set a timer on my watch for 12.5 minutes and haul-ass back to the kitchen to unplug it.

What would you be willing to pay? I paid £4 for Sync in 2018. I can't imagine a Pro (non-ultra) version would be that cheap this time.

At the minimum I'd think it'd match 1 year of Ultra (£17). Not sure if I'd pay that for Lemmy since I still use Sync for Reddit more.

Finally, I can bathe without having to dispose of 100s of cans!

Still works for me on Sync via the ReVanced bypass.

I just hope they accurately display the pain in your virtual eyes.

The SEO optimized nature of search results means I've become to reliant on the 'cards' that give answers right in the search results. Many of my searches are simple things like movies where the information is factual and concise. Ideal for cards to save me scrolling through a long page of IMDB.

Unfortunately the only good cards I've seen are via Google or Bing.

I moved from Mullvad to ProtonVPN because of the 5 device limit being too restrictive.

On Windows the only issue I had was Port Forwarding being a random number each time I connected. Somebody made a fork that automatically changes your qbittorrent port whenever Proton reconnects. Very handy if you do home torrenting.

I wrote 2 short paragraphs for the Beehaw entry and a week later was denied. By that point I was already on Lemmy.World.

I really don't know what else they wanted me to say to be honest. I'd be interested in seeing some accepted applications but seems excessive.

I use LemmyWorld and it started working for me again with a notification to ask your instance admin to update from 17 to 18.

That's always been a great detriment to preservation but this stops even trading in or borrowing games, akin to the XboxOne idea which was widely panned. They severely damaged the long-term aspects of physical media by shipping incomplete discs but now they're damaging the short-term benefits too.

I've been almost exclusively PC where physical media died long ago, but there will be piracy and much longer time to buy a product legitimately (look at GoG). Console losing physical copies means a near monopoly on the pricing and distribution of games with no means to recoup costs by selling, rent a game (outside of their first party service) or share with friends. It all sucks.
