So now I have to PAY you to NOT store files on my device that I don't want?

Was trying to read a news story and... What fresh shitfuckery is this? Why do I now have to pay money to a company just for the privilege of not being spied upon and not getting your cookies that I don't want or need? How is this even legal? RE: "Why are you even reading that shitrag?" -- I clicked on a link someone posted in another sublemmit, didn't realise it was the Sun till after. I do not read the Sun on the regular, chill. My point stands regardless that this is extremely shitty and should probably not be allowed.

'Lemmaroo' is a portmanteau of 'Lemmy' and 'switcharoo'. The latter word is the name that was given to a long-standing tradition, originating from Reddit, wherein users try to form a long chain of linked comments across posts in various communities wherein a play on words has been made based on someone's unintentional ambiguity. If you still use reddit, [r/switcharoo](https://www.reddit.com/r/switcharoo) explains it perfectly, the key takeaway being: >A switcharoo occurs when a witty [lemmy user] feigns ignorance about which of two subjects in a post (typically an image) is more comment-worthy. > > These 'roos are linked in a chain; this [community] keeps track of the most recent link. If not, here's a summary of the key rules: # Rules of the game: - Someone makes a comment which has some unintended ambiguity, and another replies with a joke based on the ambiguity. - You then reply with “Ah, the old switcharoo” (or {thing}aroo), and include a link to the most recent switcharoo comment, which is the latest post in this community. - Then, post a link to your comment here to grow the chain. Please follow the convention of: `"Switcharoo: Thing A vs. Thing B"` when titling your post. You may want the link to point to a comment one or two levels above your switcharoo so readers have enough context to get the joke. - As per the tradition, others can then reply to your Lemmaroo comment with "Hold my {subject of the ambiguity}, I'm going in!", and ***then*** "Hello future people!". **Example comment thread:** ``` User 1: "I can't get my kids to eat their vegetables" (introduces the subjects - the kids and the vegetables) User 2: "You should eat them then" (ambiguity - the kids or the vegetables?) User 3: "Are you telling OP to eat their kids?!" (follow-up) User 4/YOU: "Ah, the old [switcharoo](link to latest post here)" (this is the roo comment) User 5: "Hold my kids, I'm going in!" User 6: "Hello future people!" ``` # Community rules: - Don't spam and be nice - Make sure it's not the same user making the set-up and the punchline, and ensure both subjects involved in the switcharoo have been correctly introduced - Title your posts as per the convention of: `"Switcharoo: Thing A vs. Thing B"` - Always link to the latest post so the chain doesn't branch out - Mods have ultimate say over what is or isn't a roo - Only link posts please

(S22U Exynos, UK) What is this?

I'm being forced into this update, and there's no changelog or info on what's being updated... Just a vague "system configuration update"... What is this?

Misaligned/mis-sized menubar headings [S22 Ultra, Android 13]

Also, in "enable markdown" in settings - editing is spelled with one "t". Also also, blocked instances disappear from the list when I tap "save settings". Please fix.
