  • I did a quick test and confirmed no trackers were present after paying for ultra.

  • Sorry I'm not sure what you're saying. There's 3 or more distinct groups here:

    1. Lemmy devs, responsible for Lemmy itself + they run lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml
    2. Server admins, responsible for whatever instance you're browsing from and whatever instance the post is on (I use lemmy.dbzer0.com, you're on sh.itjust.works, these are two different admins/teams of admins)
    3. App devs, in Sync's case ljdawson

    Are you looking for a single donation to go to all of these groups?

  • Here's how I tested:

    Pihole off on my home network, TC running. Open Sync (I paid for ultra, so no ads) and then exported the csv. There were zero hits. Open theScore (riddled with trackers and ads) and then exported the csv. There were 16 hits.

    Left is Sync, right is theScore.

  • I saw this with other Lemmy apps recently. It 100% grabs trackers from posts as well. The remaining Google ones are likely related to ads in the app which I would expect to disappear when you remove ads.

    I'll give it a whirl and report back in a bit.

  • I'm not sure how that would work with those being two separate sets of developers + instance admins. I don't even think you can do instance admins + Lemmy devs in one place.

  • It's worth opening an issue on GitHub, but I suspect this is a Lemmy problem. I've had this happen in Liftoff, Summit, and Connect.

  • For your first question, the one time ad free only seems to remove ads. Ultra gets extra features, those are listed if you scroll down on ultra page

  • There's both a 1-time and a sub option

  • Yep, this is why I run forgejo internally and have zero intention of exposing it to the public.

  • IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE HOME

  • Those things matter to you and me but we're in the minority. As long as Johnny Gamer and Grandma Facebooker can still do their preferred activities in Windows there's a close to zero percent chance they'll put the effort into making the switch.

  • Sadly, I agree. I'm at the point now where as long as I'm not trying to game I can thrive on Linux. But even then I spend way more time than necessary getting things to work that do so out of the box on Windows. We have a long way to go before legacy apps is the only reason to run it.

  • Thanks for this. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks and aside from having to manually tell Lasts/AntennaPod to sync it's been a seamless replacement for pocket casts. Well, once I figure out how to get the f-droid version of AntennaPod to play nice with Android auto (a problem I only came across yesterday)

    That's again for the recommendation.

  • Any chance you also listen to them on PC? I'm looking to move away from Pocket Casts to Antennapod but haven't looked into desktop players yet (web/win&lin)

  • I've been with Fastmail for about a year and a half now. The number of complaints in their subreddit about outages had me a little worried but I've never once missed out on an important email or anything like that.

    My literal only complaint is lack of offline viewing for messages but I just run K-9 and shit's solid.

  • This is what I do on ipt, my ratio is insane because the 24/7 seeding + redeeming points. Def the way to go if you can swing it.
