Seeing how writing absolutely nosedived after 2-3 seasons, I find it hard to sympathize with them for ruining one of my favorite shows.

Wendy's in Canada is excellent. Dave's Single and Double are the best fast food cheeseburgers IMO

I can sort of see the reason behind it. If they're hosting the manual then they can keep it updated (typos/mistakes/changes etc.). Printed manuals can become outdated by the time it reaches the buyer.

What they should've done instead was to include a printed version, and then add a QR code to see the latest version online. That would've been very handy

Totally! Not just that, the user base also feels different, sorta how reddit was before it became mainstream

You simply cant win. People make fun of Xbox fand Windows for having non sequential names, and iPhone gets berated for having a naming scheme that's sensical, easy to follow and date

This is not sad. Progress is progress.

Good on EU to force their hand, we should be cheering for regulatory agencies making life better for consumers.

I have tried all of the ones on Android.

Wefwef / Voyager is extremely impressive for what it is - webapp

However it and all of the other android apps glitch a lot. I'm on a pixel 7 pro so it's not a legacy hardware issue either

Sync is by far the best app by a large margin. Everything has a high degree of polish. UX design is perfect, though I may be biased since I've been using it for reddit for the past decade.

Sync only has ads on the post pages, may be once every 10-15 posts. No ads on the comment page. Honestly it's got the little Google ads that are not a big deal at all

If you'd like you can remove ads for $30 but honestly it's not a big enough issue at all

Oh wow good to see you here! I remember you from the early days when we had less than 6k subs there!

It used to be such a fun, vibrant and exciting hobby and community. It so sad to see how regulations basically strangled the life out of it. It's very nice to see familiar usernames pop up here and there!

The person you're replying to is a very interesting person indeed. They're a farmer, an electrician and looks like a fairly knowledgeable, low level programmer as well.

Hey OP why don't you start by sharing your donation receipts to Lemmy?

Lead the way please

Hey are you db2 from reddit who used to be into vapes?

Honestly I rarely see ads on the app. I mostly get temu ads.

Go to most news sites and they're bombarded with shitty ads taking up 80% of the screen space

On sync I may be see 1 small ad per 10-15 posts, tops.

Everybody spies. Its not possible to maintain my privacy 100% and still keep the same QoL

Sync definitely is far superior. $2 and change per month is more than reasonable to keep developing an app I use so much.

It's by far the nicest Lemmy app I've used on Android. I used to use sync for reddit too.

It's a no brainer for me.

Back gesture / design

Whatsapp portability. Last time I checked Whatsapp data couldn't be moved to Android. I have a decade of chat history id like to preserve.

Integration with Google Photos. I am not switching to icloud or any other. Google Photos is just way too good. I can even search photos with text!

Notification system. I'm not entirely happy with how android does it, but apple does it worse.

Charging port. All my cables are USB C that charge both my phone and iPad. I'm not thrilled about getting 3 more chargers and cables.

App prices. Android has great KeePass clients for cheap / free. I use strongbox on my iPad which is like $30 a year

These apps cost pocket change considering how expensive life is right now. I can't think of anything else where I get so much value out of so little.

We have to be willing to pay out of pocket to support a competition if we're not happy with the way reddit is making money.

Even if pro subscription carries over I'm still buying it again. Sync was the best android client!
