Charlie Angus for PM!

He was stopped by reporters the day Freeland quit and the very first thing he said to them was "What the fuck is going on?!"

Great Smashing Pumpkins song.

The internet, no, all of technology was a mistake. We made rocks think using lightning so we could make this?!

Well--well look. I already told you: I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?

Huh, come on, you don't want to spend years learning to be a cmake guru?

Hah that does seem pretty on brand for him

Money.

Not to say that you can just buy a liver if you have enough money, but being rich and famous you get to the top of lists and can afford the private jet to immediately go across continent to get that new liver hardware installed

Yeah, "pancreatic cancer" and "highly treatable" rarely go together. Obviously he was quite private with his health so we'll never know for sure, but I do recall him needing a liver transplant so it's safe to assume it had metastaticised quickly and was pretty advanced. But regardless, he was an abusive asshole billionaire, so obligatory "fuck Steve Jobs."

It is absolutely both

 

(This is my first post sent from Sync, so hopefully I don't mess this up too badly...)

This might already exist, or might just generally be a stupid idea, but here we go:

I share images from Lemmy / Sync pretty frequently, primarily as direct images to Facebook Messenger. However, Messenger doesn't like WEBP files, and quite a few instances seem to be using WEBP instead of JPEG or PNG.

It'd be a time-saver (literally minutes a day!) and reduction of friction if there was an option to convert WEBP to JPEG on-the-fly when sharing. Right now I have to check the image format, and if it's a WEBP I need to download and edit / re-save before sharing.

I was going to say this would be a nice value-add for Ultra, but I'm already subscribed 🤷🏻‍♂️

I bet this issue doesn't actually affect that many users (stupid North America and its reliance on Facebook Messenger), but it does ever so slightly annoy me, so I figured might as well shoot my shot and make a feature request.

It's annoying enough that if Sync was OSS I would have submitted a PR already.

All that said: Sync is great and I'm so happy it was transposed from Reddit.
