On the contrary, I think it was by far the most beautiful Fallout game. It wasn't just green and brown and had gorgeous scenery instead.

Got my mind on my money and my money on my mind.

It's immoral because Chun Li didn't consent.

inevitably there are times you need to use spaces

When? You indent with tabs then add any spaces you want for precise alignment. When would you need to use spaces to indent?

There is non instance blocking except for certain apps.

Aye

I've got some more.

• You can long-press (and hold) a thumbnail to peek at the full image it came from without loading the link in the browser. Sometimes I see an interesting pic like some recipe, and I just want a closer look without loading the entire recipe site. Also works great to see YouTube thumbnails in detail.
• You can change the default feed from Local, Everything, Subscriptions, or even a single community (and have it be different per account).

Here's a partial screenshot of the image peeking:

I just gotta say... The ability to edit titles on Lemmy is so smart. Especially for cases like yours. Thanks for adding "Solved"!

Get a 12V inverter and a normal 120V AC fast charging adapter. It seems silly to turn DC into AC then back into DC, but it's totally worth it when you need a lot of charge fast.

There are 12V inverters that plug into cigarette lighter ports. Some use a wire, and some just stick out of the port.

You can also get "fast" charging USB ports that stick in your cigarette lighter, but they are never as good as a proper charging adapter. Maybe nowadays you can find a real fast charging one now that USB-C fast charging standards are a thing. I haven't shopped for one in a long time.

I'm a Sync user, but that feature worked fine in Liftoff.

• A comment and post draft system. You can save drafts to restore them later. It's really nice when writing an "effort comment" (kinda like this one) and you want to resume it later.
• When submitting something, it saves a temporary draft in case the submission fails. Several times I wrote a long comment in another Lemmy app and then lost the entire thing when the submission failed.
• A ton of customizations, so many options and view modes. Customizable actions menu. Excellent contextual button.
• Cleanest interface of any app I've used.
• Biometric lock for opening the app or changing accounts.
• Masked usernames in the account switcher for privacy when showing the app to someone.
• Can pin favorite communities at the top of the subscriptions panel.
• Separate settings per account. (Kind of a drawback sometimes. It really needs an easier way to sync settings between accounts.)
• Backup all your settings to a file. (Which can be used to sync settings between accounts.)
• Can submit a comment as a different account than the one you're browsing with. (Useful for a quick reply which you don't want to make as your official account. I like to keep stuff like politics out of my account that's associated with my real-person online presence.)
• Long-pressing any setting in the app copies a link to that setting to the clipboard. When pasted in a comment or post, other Sync users can tap the link to go straight to that setting. Useful because there are so many settings!
• All replies to a top-level comment can be collapsed by default with an option. This is great because the top-level replies are the most important, and then you get to choose which conversations to open.
• Each comment has a button to jump to the patent comment, and long-pressing that button jumps to the top-level comment of that thread. This is excellent when a comment thread has hundreds of replies and you're done with it and just want to collapse the entire thread and read the next top-level comment.
• Speaking of comment navigation, the reddit version had a handy, optional comment navigator UI. Not sure if it's here yet. It's there!
• You can search settings. Really nice to find A specific setting fast, or all settings related to "comments", etc. I just used it to determine that the comment navigator does exist in the version and I just turned it on.

I could probably think of more if I spent more time on it.

Liftoff was the best alternative app I used, but it's not as customizable. It also had a confusing account switcher. In fact, you didn't switch accounts at all. You switched instances and had a default account per instance. Switching accounts on one instance required you to open the settings and change your default user for that instance and then switch to that instance. It was even more confusing because you were allowed to change users when viewing the Inbox, but that had no effect on who was actually logged in. I made several comments under the wrong account while using the app because it was so confusing.

I've used 5 of them. Not a single one is what I would call "fully featured" compared to the million features I loved in Sync for Reddit. Sync for Lemmy promises to be as good, but for Lemmy. That's worth money to me. If that doesn't describe you, or most people, then OK.

All code should be free! No one should ever make a living writing code. It makes no damn sense. Writing code is the easiest thing on the planet. Asking money for it is pure greed.

I guess I should have added "/s". I really didn't think it was needed. 😅

Do you think he'll smile?

You just slammed the entire news industry!

I think people (me included) have a very poor sense of what apps are worth.

$20 for an app you use nearly every day for years is unthinkable.

$20 for a single decent meal at a restaurant is fine.

Seems odd to me that anyone should think $20 spent on an excellent app is too much.

It's been reported as a bug. I decided to remove that portion of the screenshot.

An hour ago I would have sworn it was $16.99. I had to edit a bunch of comments where I told people the price.
