It's exciting to finally be posting to Midnight Pub. I like to do a bit of creative writing sometimes and I think this will be a great place to read some great prose from others and make connections.

I've been using Sync for at least three years, and I've been a vocal advocate of the app, but I don't feel right paying for ad free anymore.

I am unable to transfer my paid account to my new phone and yet Google continues to take out my $2.13 every month. I understand everyone needs time away sometimes but I don't see how LJD feels right accepting people's money while providing ZERO support for months on end, and never bothering to at least appoint a maintainer in his absence.

I see issues piling up with this app and I'm forced to look at ads while LJD does whatever he wants and takes my money. I feel stupid that I've been paying this man for years to provide a good experience just to be taken for a ride like this.

I had bought the lifetime pro back in the Reddit days, I paid for pro subscription while using Lemmy, and at this point I'm just done. I hate writing this post because I've been a happy, continual premium user of this app for literally years, but there's only so much I can handle.

My beautiful Millie is so photogenic. I am sure that the SEVEN MEMBERS of this community would agree! Who else loves this beautiful little noodle? I can't wait to see more snake pics on here. Pets and wild animals are all welcome!

Hello (nobody!)

Since this is a brand-new community with zero views, subscribers, posts or anything, I figure a good place to start would be with the icon mascot, my baby Millie. She is of indeterminate age, but likely around one year. She's underweight for her age, only about 240g as of last weigh. I got her from my friend who wanted to do right by her but couldn't bring himself to care for her properly. She's an absolute sweetie, has never once bitten me or even hinted at doing so, eats her meals cleanly, and I can't wait until she's a giant monster noodle that terrorizes my house.

Hello, I am new to this community, as well as to coding in general. I am having fun learning C, and I've generally been able to work through/slam my head into problems until they make sense, but I am confounded by this discrepancy, and I am hoping to have some help with it:

printf("%%c);

Output: %c

#include 

void textGreen(const char* text)
{
    printf("\033[32m%s\033[0m", text);
}

int main()
{
    textGreen("%%c\n");
    return 0;
}

Output: %%c.

Since printf is wrapped into the function, should the text not be outputting with the same behavior? Why is my terminal printing this code without escaping the percent sign? FWIW, the text is green, at the very least.

I am using Ubuntu 23.10, the code was written in KATE, it was compiled in GCC, and it was run on the basic GNOME terminal.

I found it in a cupboard at my family farm. It's unlabeled, gate marked, has a funky raised "8", and an interesting design on the handle. The finish job on the inside looks great, very smooth.

Picked it up for a song recently. I suspect it to be a BSR but it's kind of weird. Also, why is it so clean and skinny? It looks like aluminum but it's labeled as CI.
