Where is that? I couldn't find it

Damn. They're just trying to wreck shit

Did they ban a sub related to it, or more of the same bullshit by reckoning removing mods?

Aether itself. Moderation by the masses is just going to end up a cesspool

I gotta be honest, that sounds like crap. It's a recipe for a race to the bottom

And, if it isn't maintained, it might as well not exist. Trying to fuck around with it would just take the lemmy team's time away from their progress as they move forward with their intended plans.

Banana for scale pre-existed reddit, and is unlikely to die soon lol

But yeah, fuck the rest of that list, I'm with you :)

Sweet :)

Oh yeah, while I won't do subscriptions as a matter of principal, if mr Dawson wants to issue a new version every time there's a significant code rework, I'd pay every time with a smile on my face. I do it with paprika (the best recipe manager out there) on all the platforms. I'm kinda expecting a new version in the next year or two from them, tbh.

I much prefer that model of monetization. Buy the software, you own it and can use it as long as there's hardware and OS that can run it. Want the next version? It's just like buying a different program. It worked very well for decades. Shit, I could (if there were a point beyond having fun) crank things up and run word 98, I still have the discs lol.

And I still use the old paprika on my oldest tablet, as well as the newer version on newer devices. Which, it's cool as hell my old nook is still running.

I'd do the same with sync. I want to buy it again. Sync for lemmy is not the same software, even if it's heavily based in the old code. I want developers to be able to make a damn living so that we can have great apps. I just hate software as a service in principle. Like, the fancy extras that Apollo and sync did with premium is a different thing entirely! I'm talking about paying every month just to use an app when I object to subscriptions

Hell, Mr Dawson could charge way more than the pro version of sync was, and I'll pony up for damn sure. I dunno if anyone here ever had reason to talk to him on reddit, but he's such a good dude. Devs like that are bloody rare, and need to be cherished.

My t480 came in right at that price, and is doing very well for word processing and media consumption.

But Linux is almost always going to do well on low end stuff compared to Windows.
