Sadly I think most trump supporters are in it for the long haul at this point.

Which phone do you have? I’ve been able to disable that “swipe left to access Google” thing on every Google Pixel I’ve ever owned. Just long-press your home screen and go to home settings and disable it.

That’s ok.

I use revanced for YouTube on my Android phone.

I use Smarttube Next for YouTube on my Android TV.

It works wonderfully.

That isn’t new, that’s how ad networks work. Google owns one of the largest ad networks.

Yeah, Connect has this too. It’s glaringly missing from Sync.

Viewed posts still don’t hide when you refresh :(

It will take years before you see more niche communities like that.

Great news.

However, I’ve become partial to having separate accounts across various instances. Sync enforces having separate settings for each account. I can see this becoming pretty annoying. Does anyone else feel this way?

He literally defended himself bowing to government censorship a few months ago. Keep up.

Are you allergic to punctuation?

Nothing beats Google Photos for me, personally.

So I bought a used Google Pixel 1 (first gen) and use Syncthing to sync my camera roll from my phone to the Pixel 1.

Google originally advertised the Pixel 1 as having unlimited cloud storage for life, so they have to stick to it. I don’t pay for Google storage but I’ve got at least 500gb stored in Google Photos (including all my RAW photos and my digitised VHS tapes).

I’ll abuse this system until the Pixel 1 dies and I can’t get another one, then I’ll cry.

Anyone else noticed that Connect for Lemmy has just changed its design? Feels like it’s taken a lot of “inspiration” from Sync…

I wouldn’t have any expectations of an iOS release, mate.

I just do i2, i3, etc

I legitimately would’ve paid for the reddit subscription if it meant keeping Reddit Sync. It’s nonsense. They just wanted the apps out of the picture.

My Reddit use has declined 70% because I only access it from my computer or through Firefox for Android (which is damn near unusable).

Feels very American to me.

That’s a legit issue with these federated social media sites. The whole idea is to avoid one entity having too much power, but it splinters the discussions and the communities in a way that inhibits them.

How do we know a better gaming discussion isn’t happening some place else?

How does a company interact with fans and grow its brand without spamming every single gaming community on the fediverse?

Not sure what the solutions are, but maybe that’s the point? We’re trying to usher in the older days of internet communities. Smaller, closer forums.
