Guess I lucked out. Though I did pay $30 for ultra lifetime, right before Reddit killed the app, in order to support the dev. So it balances out I suppose.

Agreed! We need that feature back!

Did my app glitch or something? I installed day one, then a few hours later an update dropped with the option to pay $13 for lifetime ad-free and I immediately paid that. Now everyone’s complaining it’s $20?

Goodbye

I don’t see this option on my app? Where is this?

Pre registered! Will this also have the option for the old style of comments? I’ve been using sync for so long that I prefer the old sync comments style to the new one lol.

I’m in the USA but I think it’s inevitable. The USA is the single largest primarily English speaking democracy in the world. Since Lemmy.world is a primarily English speaking instance, it should be expected that an American would create a politics community first and since it’s the first they just call it politics.

For example, the UK is the only country in the world where they don’t put the country name on their stamps. Because they invented paper stamps first in 1840.

This is not a fight worth worrying about IMO.

Bud Lite?

OMG yes please, that would be really cool to know!

I really miss hot swappable batteries. Just carry a small spare battery and swap it when needed. So much now convenient than needing to plug it in to top up.

OMG That’s wage left!!! You should be ashamed! The boss could make more money if you work more like a robot and less like a human being! Heck, if you were an actual robot they wouldn’t have to pay you at all! Think of how much the stock price could go up then! Robots don’t complain about living wages, require training or form unions, and they don’t worry about climate change and ecological collapse! The perfect worker.

IMO the law is intended to reduce consumer electronic waste, making batteries that anyone from kids to grandparents can easily replace themselves. Currently the steam deck battery isn’t all that difficult to replace for the tech savvy “brave” folks who happily open up their devices and see the internals, but for most people that’s not good enough. I would never expect my 68 year old mother to replace it herself. IMO the aim is to make batteries replaceable like the PS5 SSD expansion capacity is. Just need a screwdriver and a few minutes, without every feeling like you might break something. Needing anything more than that and most people won’t do it out of fear they’ll break their device.

But only time will tell what actually happens.

ifixit: “Battery replacements definitely seem to be the steam deck’s achilles heel”

Easy to open yes, but still very challenging to replace the battery. Doesn’t seem to comply to the new rules to me.

So it’s hopeless. Lol

Good thing you had a removable battery so you could charge the battery outside the phone lol

Give me a phone with a removable battery in the style of the HTC Sensation 4G. Sexy, metal, easy to open and swap the battery. It was an incredible device that I remember using fondly.

I think you misunderstood, I used the revanced manager to patch Sync so I could continue to use it, not the official app to just remove ads (which would still be an improvement).

Clearly it’s actually 99 which is a reference to Brooklyn nine nine the TV show!
