MM-DD-YYYY is the only way. I can’t stand the way you Europeans do it.
I am a 31-year-old gay man who loves technology, sim racing, and spending time with my husband, cat, and dog. I spent 12 years working as an automotive technician and recently changed careers to IT. Now I am working to finish my Cybersecurity degree.

When I was a kid (way too many years ago) my parents gave up trying to restrict my Internet usage because no matter what they did I could easily get around it. I knew more about networking than they did. Then I grew up to become an IT administrator.
Personally, I think the app is absolutely fine without paying for the subscription. I really don’t see too many ads. I get an average of one ad for every two refreshes of the feed when scrolling through, and none of them have been obtrusive. It’s certainly night and day when compared to the ads in the official Reddit app.
I am really enjoying Sync so far. It’s a great Lemmy client.
Haha now if only they could do it in Times Square. That place is a giant eyesore.
I used to feel bad about using an ad blocker on the internet, but not anymore. I utilize PiHole and uBO for ad blocking now because the internet has literally become unusable without it. I never minded seeing ads, but they have gotten so brazen about it now with the most obnoxious ads possible. When the ads start negatively affecting the usability of the Internet there’s a serious problem. So they can either use respectful ad placement and get some revenue from me, or they can have them blocked and get zero revenue. It’s their choice.
I don’t live in the EU. I have contacted my local representatives in the US, but we all know they are useless and won’t do a damn thing about it.
I am really hoping some regulatory body strikes this down. Where’s the EU when we need them?
r/Fedora and r/ThinkPad. Those are the two I spent the most time in. I will also really miss my guilty pleasure subreddits like r/gaystoriesgonwild, r/Twinks, and r/GayKink. Haha.
This is what fascism looks like folks.
