Ugg I love trans inclusion and want to celebrate this but I honestly hate this company and their shows and advertising; among the many issues they demean women so I feel like I’d be celebrating trans women being demeaned.

All that said, maybe this will make it more likely for them to be accepted in other spaces? Which would be very uplifting!

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn’t thought of whether or why it was closed source! I’ve seen nothing but good intentions from Kitboga and his team, but I can’t know everything obviously so I’m glad you’re pointing that out!

I hear you, monthly subscriptions can be a killer financially. The team that made this knew that releasing the free version might hurt their finances in the long run but they genuinely want to help protect people from being scammed.

I will say the paid version is as cheap as they could possibly make it, they may have to up the price in the future to keep paying staff but I appreciate how much they’re trying to make it accessible.

If I was in a position to I’d pay for the subs for my parents and grandparents (maybe in the future), but at least I was able to get them the free version for now!

I’ve never heard of this, I’m gonna look it up and learn more!

Aaaahhhh same!!! His face is in all my screenshots because I always have his videos on in the background 😆

Yeah!! Kitboga actually answered this question on a recent stream, I know for sure the premium version you can whitelist any site. Not sure about the free version! Kitboga said it’s the most common question he gets 😂

In case someone doesn’t already know about it, the charity “Give Directly” tries to find the world’s poorest people and gives them lump sums of money. Not as a loan. They recognize how hard it can be for people in that level of poverty to pay back money, and it also eliminates a lot of the issues that material based charities can inadvertently cause on local economies!

They’re my number one favorite charity now, but I didn’t know they existed till a few years ago so I’m trying to spread the word!

I think the part these points miss is that a lot of kids don’t have good or involved parents, and they shouldn’t have to suffer disproportionately because of it

Personally I still use other websites to get news about niche topics sinse Lemmy is small, but I genuinely much prefer Lemmy for general memes news and whatever else pops up! I genuinely think the funny post are much better than on Reddit.

I generally can’t afford monthly streaming services but I can occasionally afford to donate 2-5 dollars to someone who made a show available to me 🤷

I kept reading it as Daniel Radcliffe and I was like why the HECK is he working there?

Oh wow you rock! I definitely followed the snack exchange saga for a while before switching over here

What subs did you mod? I wanna watch the trainwreck 😂

Thank you, that sub was great for teaching me (someone who is not tech savvy) how to use Lemmy!! Now it’s my favorite place to scroll 😊

Stop making me laugh so hard I’m gonna wake up my kid 😂

That’s a great insight for you to have! It’s easier to address a struggle if you can identify the root of it ❤️ Also many of us can empathize with being treated that way as children.

I love this question.

Also it makes me so angry when serial killers still try to deny their murders years after the fact. The only thing worse than a killer is a lying killer.

It’s just my opinion 🤷 If I see something worth sharing I will!

Not at all saying this isn’t uplifting, but I’m kind of sad by how political and America centric this community seems to be. I’d love to see more universal or individual themed uplifting posts!

Really not worth it in my opinion. I’m hoping some day it will be, kind of like how robot vacuums used to ha e a lot more problems and be a lot more expensive.

We couldn’t afford any of the robot litter boxes for starters, even if we could manage the huge upfront cost (compared to the cost of even a high quality regular litter box), they all have some type of additional ongoing cost. Bags, or filters, or replacement parts, or more expensive litter.

Second, every one I looked at had reviews about cleanliness not being completely covered by the machine, so you sometimes have to clean a lot more parts than just quickly rinsing a typical litter box. Some people’s cats also get dirtier, or struggle to aim in some robot ones.

Third, I find the smell worse with any that you don’t dump or replace the tray every day. Using a diaper Genie honestly works much better for that for us. And I would rather know that I only need to take the 30 seconds to scoop every day as opposed to suddenly waking up to a broken litter box or having to spend an hour plus cleaning every part of it.

Lots of different opinions on here which is great, this is just my take!
