If they converted them into self custody Bitcoin then they’d have keys to their wallet!

I don’t know if he believed this way when he was in Germany, but he only studied there and came back to the USA after for the rest of his life. But I agree he’s a special kind of stupid.

My Dad is a Hitler supporter and Holocaust denier and he has a bachelor’s degree and even studied in Germany. Wild how he can believe such things, so it’s not just the ones who can’t read who believe this crap. 🫠

My initial thoughts exactly.

I have billions of Zimbabwe dollars and I picked up litter for 2 hours a few weeks ago. So there’s at least one!

Well, the USD is worth 15% less today than it was when the consoles launched. As such, keeping the price the same is the same as discounting it with a stable currency. The price today is the same as $425 at launch, so prices have come down we just don’t see it reflected in the dollar price.

WTF? 25gbps? Dang we really do have shitty internet in the States.

You’re right! To the human eye Pluto looks like this => •

I see it as making fun of the religious people who do this when their kids question God from something they read in the Internet. Like a uno reversal on crazy parent responses.

Having all the live versions of some songs is the best part for me. I love live recordings.

That’s a fair point, maybe I should look into using newpipe and use what was my monthly payment as a direct donation to my favorite creators instead. Thanks for the informative reply!

Actually I’ve had YouTube premium for a few years now and I love it! I use YouTube a lot, but I also then get YouTube Music which I also use A LOT because it’s actually a really good music service.

Music plus ad free YouTube? Video/music background playing? All worth the money to me, and I’m helping keep a service I enjoy alive as YouTube still isn’t profitable. Which also slows enshitification of another product I enjoy.

I want to help YouTube be profitable while I still like it, to

Yep! The welfare cliff I believe it’s called. Evidence of a poorly designed welfare system, which I think some see as a feature not a bug sadly.

My reply to all the naysayers:

Thanks for making Lemmy feel like home, it wouldn’t without you!

The reality is it’s a free world, regardless of what morality you put on things there are going to be things that happen that you don’t like. That’s life.

Like it or not Lemmy has had explosive growth because of apps like Sync. Because of them being killed off by Reddit. If it weren’t for the drama of Reddit doing that, I and millions of other users wouldn’t be here right now as we’d still be on Reddit.

Even people who weren’t using the 3rd party apps left Reddit because Reddit’s actions left a bad taste in their mouths.

So, morality of one guy charging for his honest work in creating the paid or ad supported app aside, you should be thanking the apps including sync for helping drive so many users to Lemmy.

If you yourself don’t want to use a paid app, then that’s okay! We’re all allowed to respond or react to things how we want, but being incredibly divisive for something that a lot of people wanted and that really is inconsequential is almost universally frowned on.

Just let people do what they want and don’t shoot them down for it. More options for browsing Lemmy = more Lemmings = more content.

Much love my dudes! We may disagree on this but we agree on many many many more things I’m sure, just because we’re on Lemmy instead of Reddit in the first place is proof of that! ✌️

Oh man, Sync is just so great and only $20 to get no ads you should give it a try!

Found it.

Most Americans have no clue what the rest of the world is like.

Most Americans don’t even understand the progressive income tax system we have, they will go so far as to decline raises because it’ll put them in a higher bracket and they think that will mean less take home pay. It doesn’t! You should always take a raise!

I believe I’ll someday move to a country that has good policies for everything from healthcare, to work life balance, and social safety nets, and I’ll never have to deal with the American nightmare again.
