I actually got a notice like this several months ago even before YouTube did theirs.

If anything, Facebook's quite infamous for trying to combat and blockers in general. I remember back then when they obfuscated their web layout so much that it got tricky for some to filter or block sponsored or recommended content.

Then you've never bought imported food or never got food gifts overseas. Or never travelled to a country that used the format that you don't use.

For example, 06/09/2023 could mean either you're eating something that expires next month, or expired two months ago.

Because it gets horribly fucky when you now have to figure out if a date is actually formatted as MM-DD-YY or DD-MM-YY.

Surely we've all handled reading an expiration date before and have wondered if we're eating something OK or has expired months ago because they chose the other format.

(Honestly, I think both formats are shit, and the only correct way to do dates with numbers only is YYYY-MM-DD. If not, then at least use letters for months, like 30 AUG 2023)

I eat my crusts but I have to admit, those who do not have a good point when some pizzas out there have especially terrible crusts.

I don't get the point of this.

Since when did Sync masquerade itself as FOSS?

Just use whatever you want. Isn't that why we're all here?

Is the Sync noise getting to you? Just ignore it. It's natural since the app just opened up and there were a significant amount of Reddit refugees that badly wanted their app back.

Sync drastically reduces the barrier to using Lemmy for sure.

I appreciate the vanilla Lemmy experience but Sync has my muscle memory / usage habits after all. And it fixes some of my UX complaints that seem mildly annoying but enough to disengage me from the browsing session.
