Can someone lay this to rest for me? What is FOSS? I think I get in some capacity that it's Lemmy... but?

You guys were all taking how you'd pay the developer twice for his work if possible, and how everyone should purchase the Pro version without question on day one etc.

Maybe it wasn't you sucking the dev off sideways for weeks straight - but the community at large is and has been.

I mean, I like the app and all, but the price is steep. Steeper than it was for reddit and steeper than all the other apps as well.

As far as I know it's the only one with a subscription model, and we don't even have the "sync" feature that is its namesake.

Does anyone know if we're going to get the "Sync" feature back?

I really miss my offline reading.

The Wikipedia app comes dangerously close believe it or not.

I think "myself" is the word you're looking for.

What ones are doing this?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Notifications of all types are getting seriously out of hand again. Some apps (looking at you Whatsapp 🤨) have "preferred notifications" turned on by default effectively bypassing DND.

I'm seriously about to nuke ALL notifications on my phone except for my bank, significant other, and my boss.

I don't really know what we're talking about as a lay person, but I kind of do.

I've gotta say I'm happy as a pig in shit right now with things just the way they are. (happy to have Sync period.)

Amazing as expected from Jlaw - am I right?

Do we really care? If you have a smartphone you're being tracked in more ways than advertising and that's a fact.

This. My only media expense monthly is my VPN at $10. Everything is pirated.

Even that though - I just download only my favorites for the collection. Everything else is available on stand alone websites these days (multiple) so if you're paying for a streaming service or really even using bittorrent then you're living in the past as far as movies go.

Testing with Sync.

Gold right here 🥇

Personally? I'm still pleasantly suprised/happy that so many people have created instances that they opened to the world.

As long as they're communities you agree with right?

Right, so because a community has different views than the leftists you all think it's your place to "protect" users preemptively without discussion or reason, basically fucking worse than Reddit?

You'd better think long and hard on that.

And here you are posting... I'm not sure I can handle the irony! 😁

I had the same but it works with old.lemmy.com.

You mean Lemmy? Or do I not get it still..
