It does if you want to migrate your favorites and subscriptions.

~~Not always. More and more phones in the budget range utilize a “virtual” proximity sensor which actually uses the camera for the same function.~~

You’re thinking of the gyroscope, but no. Some phones have a dedicated proximity sensor for things like detecting if you’re in a call and have the phone up to your ear, but more and more phones (especially the budget ones) these days use a “virtual” proximity sensor which utilizes the front camera to perform the same function.

Or any kind of oil. Even WD-40, if you have it. Put oil on the adhesive residue, then scrub it off with a cloth. You can then remove the oily residue with soap.

Blink twice if the raccoon on your head is controlling you.

By default, everyone’s a guy on the internet unless stated otherwise. Some people just know the name and that they’re a powermod and not much else. Also, they’re apparently trans or claims to be, so there’s a subset of people who’d misgender them on purpose.

Of course they’re claiming responsibility for the John Oliver thing. Considering their history, I doubt it. But even if they were involved, it’s the community at large that was responsible for the John Oliverification of Reddit.

Unlikely, considering they didn’t try to clear up the confusion and that they continued replying as if they were LJ Dawson.

This is not the real Sync dev, it’s someone pretending to be him. The real account for LJ Dawson is @ljdawson. He confirmed that via his Reddit account. The community he established for the Sync for Lemmy app is @syncforlemmy.

Yeah, the post history is dubious. I’ll wait for confirmation from his Reddit account, because at least I know that’s actually LJ.

Edit: This is not LJ Dawson, this is an impersonator. The real account is @ljdawson, and he created the community for the new Sync app at @syncforlemmy.

Still holding out hope that it will be platform-agnostic enough to be used for both of the Fediverse link aggregators: Lemmy and Kbin.

Not yet released, but a closed beta is coming soon at https://kbin.social/m/ArtemisApp.

I’ve got kbin installed as a PWA in the same spot that I had Sync for Reddit. That takes care of the muscle memory thing. The only reason I look at Reddit these days is to see how the shitshow is going.

It temporarily boosts activity, but that’s useless activity. It’s not going to help Reddit in the long run, and in fact will diminish Reddit’s value if it goes on long enough.

Not sure if Firefox for iOS allows for extensions, but if it does, you can install Tampermokey on it and add the userscript. I’m using Hermit on Android to have kbin installed as a PWA, and it supports userscripts in the premium version (a one-time payment). Works well so far.

It’s a matter of preference. Some people may want greater control over what instances they federate with. Some people just want to tinker with the kbin software and play around with it. Others choose to do it so that can have a custom domain or so they can have a username that’s been taken elsewhere. The beauty of the Fediverse is that it doesn’t really matter that much where you go, since you more or less have access to pretty much everything anyway.

https://fedia.io is the other big kbin instance. There are probably others, but they’re either not as well-known yet or are personal instances.

I do generally charge my phone at night, but I do it while awake and unplug it before I go to sleep. It’s increasingly rare these days, but I just don’t want to risk the potential fire hazard of leaving a phone plugged in.

The writers’ strike is still a thing, so who knows when the next episode will be. But hopefully they cover this when they come back.

That’s their TOS. Their actions recently — namely undeleting user posts and comments — run directly counter to their TOS. They’re essentially claiming ownership of the user submitted content by doing that.
