Hopefully the coming lemmy update will alleviate that a bit, users being able to block instances will be good.

Nope, I purchased "Reddit Sync" years before the redesign (which was not actually the first redesign) and the author did not introduce any new fees or make the improved interface a separate app that required purchasing or anything. Every once in a while major updates would come out at no additional cost. When the biggest update hit a small vocal subset of the community got upset because some people can't stand change and harassed lj. Sync is only even the price it is because when the original ~$5 ad removal fee was floated on discord during the lemmy rewrite the community voiced that they would be willing to pay more since many of us felt we got more than we paid for out of the reddit version.

Yeah that's what happens when you receive abuse from the community over a new version of the app that you built for free

Sounds like it's not the game for you. Overcoming environmental challenges is kind of the name of the game, and if the baseline "cold bad but fire hot" thing isn't something you enjoy then I'm not sure you would enjoy trying to navigate any of the main story areas in the game.

Pulseaudio's networked audio devices are sick, and similarly getting your computer's headphones/mic on your phone by just connecting your phone to your computer over bluetooth is fantastic.

And make hundreds of children grow up without a father?

Was wondering why this didn't work, thanks!

Games have been the same price for over thirty years, they've not changed with inflation and production costs have skyrocketed. To an extent the increased market has helped keep costs down for the consumer but it's not unreasonable to see prices shift upwards.

Major Linux contributors are payed by their employers to work on the kernel.

It can exist without ads, and does, but not everyone is willing to compensate his time and effort with money

I've got a Surface Laptop 3 running Fedora that is always dead after an extended sleep. Actual working battery life is not bad though.
