So what does he want to be called? Just a rat? But - there are actual rats, which are already called rats. Unless those don’t exist in this universe, “ratman” seems like a pretty reasonable term. He has both rat and humanoid features.

I came here to post this. Glad to see it’s where it needs to be.

The sound… the sound haunts my dreams

How is this unpopular? The company wouldn’t exist if people didn’t like eating there.

“I may not know much.”

That is a complete sentence.

Linux users hate this one weird trick

It could absolutely be implemented by Sync.

I will talk to rude people that harass the admins of a free service that way.

You fucking donkey, did you read their comment before you replied to it? They aren’t doing it just because they want to; there are legal implications.

I wonder this same thing about my company. The only rational theory I’ve heard - which is completely unconfirmed - is that they aren’t willing to sell the building because it’s still needed for the IT team and a few other purposes, but need a certain occupancy level to not be penalized on their taxes.

SD slots aren’t all that uncommon still.

“MothBookkeeper is the dictator of the world, and I completely trust his decisions.”

Nevermind the logistics of that; power lives where people believe it does.

Then I could make multiple beneficial changes, such as:

• Heavily taxing the rich
• Enacting drastic climate policy
• Banning paper stickers that rip as you try to take them off
• Sending Mitch McConnell on a rocket into the sun

I don’t know, man, it’s just like… the way that it is.

Fellas, is it weak to be attracted to someone?

Reminds me of that gif of Obama. Same exact expression.

Right, because Gs are never pronounced with a “J” sound, and acronyms are never pronounced differently than their full terms. Sound logic there; well done. Never mind any of these:

NASA- National Aeronautics Space Uhdministration

NATO- North Ayy-tlantic Treaty Organization

LASER- Light Ayy-mplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

SCUBA- Self Contained Oonderwater Breathing Uhpparatus

FOMO- Fear ohhf missing ohht

ASAP- Ayys soon ayys possible

POC- People ohhf solor

PIN- Personal id-entification number

BOGO- Buy ohhn get ohhn

POTUS- President ohhf the Uhhnited States

YOLO- You only live ohhnce

AWOL- Ayy-bsent without awfficial leave

ICE- Eyemmigration and Sustoms Enforcement

DARE- Drug Ayybuse Resistance Education

Well damn.

“Breathe if you’re a stupid dumb dumb head.”

I reject their premise.

Sync for Reddit was a popular-ish third-party Reddit app. The dev has been working on building a version of it for Lemmy, and the surrounding community has been pretty excited for it. Recently, Sync for Lemmy was released, and there’s been a lot of fanfare, conversation, etc. In my opinion, it’s the most polished Lemmy client by far. Some people are annoyed that the premium features cost significantly more than they did in Sync for Reddit. The dev said it’s to offset the smaller user base, which seems reasonable to me, but it’s spurred a lot of arguments about the paid model.

This seems like a bit of a strawman argument. I haven’t seen anyone say that explicitly—if they have, it certainly isn’t common. I have seen people say they’re willing to pay for a “higher quality app,” and I can see how you could interpret the implication there being that FOSS apps are shitty in comparison. For me, though, I don’t interpret it the same way, and I’d assume positive intent. Some people like Sync better than the other apps and are willing to pay for it. That’s it, really.
