Love the erasure of straight, infertile couples here as well.

"You CAN make babies" - not necessarily.

Childfree by choice here, but the all around insensitivity to anyone not straight and fertile just really gets my goat.

Me reading a poem.

Me rereading a poem.

😡 me giving up on reading the poem.

I want a way to signal to people, sorry I'm freaking weird and apologies in advance for my awkwardness.

I've always loved the infinity symbol, got it engraved on a ring for my partner over a decade ago.

I also love badges.

Considering finding an enamel rainbow infinity badge online - and if someone mistakes me as queer, I don't mind, I'm an ally and a bit bi anyway.

Bigots get way too hung up on symbols.

I like to think of symbols as positive things - either covert ways to communicate with like minded people in an unfortunately negative environment, or ways to show pride in something if the symbol is widely recognised.

When that pride is something includes infringement on the rights of others, then we have a problem.

Otherwise, yay, go wild.

Yes, officer, I've had a few drinks - why do you ask?

This is so amusing to me, because I had no idea who this Linus was - I was only somewhat familiar with Linus Torvald of Linux fame. I looked up last night just to check that the old Linux nerd wasn't running around stealing water coolers and such.

Extra funny to see a comment the next morning that this Linus knows zero about Linux.

We got a Brother laser as well. Only print a few times a year, and the toner is always good to go when it does get switched on. Love my Brother!

Australia

Under AUD$2 to AUD$34 is quite the leap, and more than double what I anticipated.

I was very happy to drop AUD$10-15, and I'm aware that what I paid in 20 dickity 13 was a steal.

Quadrupled app costs would have been a bargain in my eyes.

Crying in $34 Aussie dollaydoos.

A bit of a surprise; I know I was lucky to get the old Sync pro app for under $2 a decade ago, but wow.

Connect is free and fantastic, and the dev(s) are adding new features regularly. I'm a bit torn, as I loved Sync for Reddit and was happy to give my money again for Sync for Lemmy - just not quite that much of it.

I didn't see the option at all last night. This morning the app updated, and now I see the remove ads option.

I'm seeing AUD$~~35~~ $33.99.

I paid AUD$1.91 ten years ago for "reddit sync pro" (I believe it was on sale).

I was expecting to pay around $10-$15 to block ads, so this is a bit of a shock.

They need a "don't show crappy Chinese junk" filter - I love shopping, but it's impossible to browse for anything worthwhile, and incredibly boring.
