Give NixOS a shot. It’s got a learning curve that may be difficult if you’ve never read code, but it’s my preferred immutable setup.

It even has more packages than Arch.

Here’s the video that got me onto it:

Bro just accept the L and quit while you still can

Edit: I just saw the thread 💀

I was using Vanced for around a year, and immediately switched to Revanced when it became available. No issues so far

You could always try Asahi Linux if you’re on a newer MacBook

but if you need me to leave, I can. I get that a lot.

I don’t think OP is suggesting this. It’s simply a reminder to those who have the privilege of having extra income that contributing to the core devs improves the experience for everyone, regardless of their individual ability to contribute.

I’m personally happy to donate if it means everyone gets to continue enjoying the growth of the platform, as the real value of the threadiverse is user activity.

You’re not paying to remove ads from Lemmy. You can continue using Lemmy ad-free on mobile via the mobile site or any of the other PWA’s or native apps. What you’re paying to remove ads from is Sync. The developer has decided that they need to be compensated to sustain the amount of effort developing and maintaining the app requires. If you don’t want to pay that price with cash or your eyeballs then don’t use it.

Nobody is forcing you to use Sync, nobody is forcing you to see ads. The beauty of a platform like Lemmy is you have the choice to use whatever client you want. That doesn’t mean you’re entitled to any of them.

There’s an expression I think about a lot, “You can’t think when you’re hungry”

Unfortunately principles and ideals are calorie-free

We may not like it, but this is what progress looks like?

Or install ReVanced and enjoy all of that for nothing, including Sponsorblock

The hype is because Sync was a long standing and well respected client for reddit, that is now available for Lemmy.

For many users this means they can finally try Lemmy through an interface they know from a dev they trust.

I don’t use Sync, or Infinity, but the more the merrier!

Welcome! Here’s a Youtube Short from @misnina@crystals.rest that I think does a great job of summarizing Lemmy and the Fediverse:

I’m also seeing this take place on the desktop site. The Sync admin can’t really do anything algorithmically as that isn’t supported by the API

He could request top posts in X time frame, like last 4 hours or so and then do manual sorting, but it seems more likely that it’s just an influx of users as a result of the app releasing.

I never used Sync. I’m not a fan of gesture controls

I was interested until I saw it uses swipe gestures for interaction :/

You might find this userscript useful, I put it together for this very reason

Is the subjective experience the thing that defines what is the most palatable form of this?

If that’s the case then as someone else suggested they could simply remove the memory of the experience up until right before you walk out the other end. For all you knew it was incredibly excruciating but you’re none the wiser. Would the lack of that memory negate the experience?

Exactly, if you are not annihilated then that means two identical versions of an entity that thinks it’s you exist simultaneously, and now one of them has to be killed to maintain the illusion of this being transport rather than cloning.

Now I want to see a dystopian fiction where the original instances of a person are taken away and used as slave labor while the clones come out the other side thinking they’re the only copy.

Let’s assume the machine works one of two ways. It either destroys the original as it’s read into the machine and reconstructing on the other end, or it’s not destroying the original and simply reading and copying simultaneously.

In the first case there are zero complete copies of you in existence as you’re undergoing a phase of removing information from place and reconstructing it in another, I’d call that death and cloning.

In the second case there are two identical copies of you in existence until they destroy the original, I’d call that a clone.

Quantum entanglement would mean that while it reads your initial state and encodes the new state there are two copies of you in existence, that is cloning, then the initial state dies. Unless the process of reading that state is destructive, then you just die and are cloned.

The method between the two you suggested also means you die momentarily and then are recreated. For the period of time it takes to encode your atoms into a method of transport and then reassemble them at your destination, you no longer exist in complete form.
