This.
I use Adguard, if a site blocks me for it, then it goes on a black list of “never visit” sites.
In a few cases, if I use and like/support a specific site a lot and that site is ad supported with no other ad-free option, then I white list it.
But to read the odd crappy article? No I’m not disabling my ad blocker.
Yeah, I really liked the movie and it’s hard to describe exactly why.
It’s not an amazing story, or amazing characters, it’s not exciting…but it has a certain vibe/mood to it that I liked.
I was also a bit fascinated by Japan, so that’s part of it. Got to visit a couple of times in the years after seeing the movie and whenever I’ve been in a Tokyo hotel room it’s reminded me of the film!
Yeah, that’s on my to watch list.
I watched Amsterdam, a 2022 comedy/mystery set in the 1930s, starring Margot Robbie and Christian Bale and a big cast of others including Mike Myers, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro and Chris Rock.
It is loosely based on The Business Plot, an actual political conspiracy in the US in the 1930s. I’d never heard of this before.
It was an interesting and ‘different than the usual’ type of movie. A lot of the focus was on the witty dialogue between characters. Pretty nice movie visually too. Overall I enjoyed it and would give it about 7/10.
Connect is awesome. The fact that it is only a month old and that good is honestly mind blowing and it’s totally free with no premium options or ads. I have really enjoyed using it up until now.
I’m a previous Sync for Reddit user though and I do love the app. The customisation options are insane. I can literally make it look and act exactly how I want, even down to things like specifying download locations for pictures, whether they go into subfolders by community, whether pictures show up as media files in your gallery or are hidden, the spacing between comment lines, etc… It’s also customisable by account if you have multiple accounts, so all of this can be different or the same for each account.
So once you spend some time setting it up, it almost feels like you’ve designed your own interface/app.
It’s hard to beat.
Thanks, that’s great 🙂
To never make any resolutions ever again.
So far it’s going well 👍🏻
How do you filter for English?
I sometimes get a bunch of Dutch and German posts. They seem to come in waves. My high school German from years ago is not up to the task so I’d rather filter them out!
A screenshot of not much…and I’m excited! 🥳
Me too. I kept changing between Connect, Jerboa and LiftOff.
But over the last couple of days Connect has pulled into the lead and I find myself sticking with it at the moment.
Waiting for Sync though!
Agreed. I recently discovered Affinity Photo 2 on my iPad and love it.
Would be great if a smaller mobile version were released for my Android phone.
It’s not a full replacement of Photoshop, but Photo Studio Pro is the best one I’ve found. It has a pretty good background replacement function that blends two photos.

For “official” Android products, maybe eventually.
In fact I can see a future where all computing/devices are locked down and become appliances, much like your tv or fridge.
You use them how you’re “meant to”. Sideloading? Programming? Tweaking? Why do you need to do that, are you a terrorist?
I hope we don’t get to that world, but for a while now I’ve been thinking it looks like a possible outcome.
A classic.
Would probably be the movie I have seen the most number of times.
Here it is:
Excellent!
Really excited to see this. Signed up to your Patreon, hopefully a few others have too.
Yep, am enjoying Connect while I wait for Sync.
Make that 3143 :)
Connect for Lemmy.
It’s being updated to add features and fix bugs pretty much daily. Which means it is improving at a crazy speed.
It’s come a long way since I first started using it - about 3 days ago!
Some forums are still reasonably active. I use Whirlpool fairly regularly. Mostly tech related, but has lots of other sections too.
