the last few seasons of Discovery have been a bit bogged down by the stuff that has always made it a tough sell as a Trek series: overly ambitious, serialized storylines that aren’t compelling; new characters and environments that don’t impress; plot twists which can be maddening in their lack of logic; big storytelling swings which can be confusing and predictable at once.

Yeah, it's not "underappreciated". It's just not very good for what many of us are expecting. I still haven't gotten through season 3.

I got a new phone, with all the same accounts, but cannot restore my previous lifetime purchases from sync. I'm not sure how to rectify it.

Edit: I'm pretty sure that I made a mistake here, in that I tried to use my main credentials to sign in and transfer, but I actually bought the lifetime on a different account. The likelihood that I confused myself with my paranoia is likely high.

Just to clarify, we are talking about Sync for Lemmy, not Sync for Reddit, correct?

Why does Sync not display some comments?

I've posted something today and somehow Sync gives me notifications in my inbox for replies to that post, but when I open the post, it can't find any. I can interact with them just fine in the inbox and in the browser. But in Sync on the post, the number of replies is shown to be 4, while the comment section states that no...

If you're specifically seeing that there's one comment, but there are none when you open the comments, The two most likely scenarios seem like the posts are for videos and you have pipe links hidden in the settings, or you have an active user blocked.

what's a good way to stick a laser leveler to the wall?

I have a laser level that I'd like to use for lining up pictures on my wall. I'm doing this by myself otherwise I just have someone else hold it. It has a couple holes in it that look like maybe you could use screws or nails and I'd rather not have to put holes in the wall to do this. Any suggestions?

JackDark ,

Some good suggestions already, but I would also keep in mind that you can put a nail in the wall right behind where you're going to be hanging up one of the pictures. It's a small hole, and there's no immediate need to paint the patch since it's going to be hidden behind a frame anyway.

Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?

I went to some palestine protests a while back, and was talking to my brother about the organizing, when revealed something I found pretty shocking, we (the protesters) had acquired a permit to hold the protest. Apparently this is standard policy across the US....

JackDark ,

My understanding is that the permits essentially allow you to disrupt things like traffic by having sections of the city cordoned off for gathering/marching. Take this with a grain of salt, as I've never had to actually deal with the permitting myself.
