Isn't collabora just libreoffice under the hood? And nextcloud office is branded collabora I believe.

Off the top of my head I think the best we've got is New York, Boston, Chicago, and Philly for the big cities, and for small cities you can either pick something on the edges of one of the big cities which kinda ride the coattails of the big cities transit or other isolated small towns that never redeveloped for cars, though those seem few and far between.

I sell stuff on eBay enough that having a printer is worth it so I can buy and print shipping labels at home, that way I can use USPS package pickup to ship stuff from my front door without needing to leave the house.

Not wanting to use any app that goes to a google server for a lemmy app is being privacy focused. Telling other people their preference in not valuing the same thing is wrong is elitism - saying that no app should do something, and nobody else should use an app that does that thing, because you prefer it that way - that's elitism.

Sync and the people who like it aren't invalid just because your preference is being privacy focused.

Along the same lines, it's totally possible to espouse the values of privacy to others without being elitist, as long as you aren't talking down to other people or invalidating other people's preferences, because that's elitism.

I find the connect UI to be really similar to Sync. They both group the vote buttons on posts, unlike all the alternatives, which reduces visual clutter and the icons and layout seem well designed in terms of icon and text size and margins looking symmetric (looks less like a backend dev just threw all the buttons vaguely where they're supposed to go).

One thing connect seems to do better is that collapsing a comment collapses the comment itself and not just the replies (makes it easier to move down a thread by collapsing each root comment). On the other hand, the tap target for re-expanding the comment seems to not extend the whole width of the collapsed comment.

I'm in a similar boat to wanting the reddit app but cleaner and not buggy. So connect and sync are my top 2 right now. I didn't mind the reddit app UI it was just so buggy and laggy.

Would that be done through mineralizing the carbon that's dissolved in the water? I remember hearing about some mineral you could spread in the water that would react with the carbon. I wonder what it would take to produce and spread that at scale with a low re-emission rate.

100% correct, steam deck haters can cry some more. The numbers don't lie, steam deck is doing great. Completely agree. No lie detected.

I just downloaded infinity to give it a shot and I find the UI to be a little rougher around the edges. The most noticeable is the layout of posts on the feed - the icons dont look like they are consistent sizes and the lack of grouping compared to Sync (like having a box around both vote and vote count) makes it look more cluttered. I also think the default theme color (the intense blue color) kinda hurts my eyes because it's too high contrast maybe, so changing that was the first thing I did- I think having a milder default would provide a better out of the box experience.

I have no major gripes about the base functionality, they're both functional enough for me but the aesthetics of sync win for now. Also it seems like both sync and infinity don't collapse the comment you pressed and only the replies, making it seemingly impossible to collapse top level comments which inconveniences how I read threads, by collapsing top level comments as I go down the thread - long top comments stay expanded so I have to scroll past a lot more.

Those are my first impressions based on never using either sync or infinity (be it lemmy or reddit) before like this week.

Edit: Just downloaded Connect too, looks very similar to Sync in level of polish so I think those will probably be my top 2

I know so, and clearly so do you since you haven't offered any arguments to the contrary. Besides "nuh uh you're still wrong"... It's so funny that you would pick such a losing argument to troll about though, like why wouldn't you pick a topic where you can better fake that you're arguing in good faith?

I also have this mug, I got it as a gift and immediately recognized it as one of those designs that gets hawked all the time by merch spammers on reddit so I checked and the only place you can buy it from that isn't a redbubble-style site (where anybody can upload stolen designs to print on demand) - or a sketchy site that only sells a single item - seems to be lookhuman, so I assume it's their design.

This is a common design for merch bots to hawk, but I believe the original is from lookhuman, at least every other site that has it is one of those "anyone can register and print on demand any stolen design a la redbubble". I got a mug of this from lookhuman.
