Accurate. I used Sync for Reddit until they were forced out. I then switched to Sync for Lemmy for the familiar interface, the ease of setup, etc. Sync literally brought me to Lemmy.

Since then I looked around and still prefer this app. On a side note: why does the UI for Voyager on Android look like some old version of iOS?

Hate all you want but Sync being popular is a good thing for Lemmy adoption.

The thinking is that a gunshot is always lethal force. If you want to stop the threat most effectively you aim for center mass. So in this case someone is attacking you with a weapon capable of causing death or great bodily harm and legally you can defend yourself with deadly force.

Samsung Alias! Pretty cool idea. Not sure how great the execution was though. The Alias 2 that came after it had the same form factor but with e-ink keys

In our small town - just a few thousand people, in an extremely red area of an extremely red state: there is a lady that stands on a corner of the main street though town (1 of 10 intersections). She wears her mask with a Gaza flag pattern and holds a Gaza flag with a small poster board that says like "Free Gaza" or something.

I support her right to protest, but I'm not sure that it's doing anything or what her goal even is. No idea what her protest is designed to do other than virtue signal.

On the other hand I spend time in February making sure my kids and friends/family on social media see images of civil rights protests - brave people attending school or sitting at a lunch counter.

I think protests can work and can change things, but context and strategy matter a lot.

My child's high school sent a letter home asking for permission to share his information and transcripts with military recruiters.

Less than 1000 responsible gun owners? We're just making up numbers now?

Before he passed away, my kids' grandfather bought all his grandkids their first 22 rifle. Some of the cousins were still infants but he wanted to buy them something. He was a prolific hunter and marksman. My kids guns all lived in the safe until they were old enough to shoot them, and now they live in the safe when not in use. You can give guns to kids all day long, that's not the problem and the gun is not the problem.

Connect via ssh to my home server from work

Using a cli torrent client to download stuff

Decide I need a VPN.

Install VPN again from CLI

Run VPN which disconnects my ssh connection

Even when I get home, the server is headless so I have to locate a keyboard and mouse before I can fix.

Ah yes, React - my favorite programming language

Don't forget A&W and Long John Silvers

In medieval England it was trendy to make nicknames by rhyming with a shortened form

Robert -> Rob -> Bob

Richard -> Rick -> Dick

Margaret -> Meg -> Peg

William -> Will -> Bill

All being pretty common examples. This was covered pretty early on in the excellent History of English Podcast

That will vary widely. Near me you can kill as many as you want, it's legal. Now why you wouldn't eat them is beyond me, since they are delicious.
