I hate that I relate to this, because honestly I feel like constantly skipping around to get to the good stuff can't be good for us.

I went into this movie not knowing what to expect. Honestly, I mostly went because my girlfriend wanted to see it.

I was pleasantly surprised. The movie is hilarious, well-acted, clever, and surprisingly touching. Also, the soundtrack has absolutely no business being as good as it is.

Ive defended these musk posts in the past, but sorry... This story has nothing at all to do with technology.

Bet this mouth-breathing shill didn't even post the meme from a FOSS app. Despicable.

Great news that it will work across the fediverse. I'd love to try pixelfed for example, but its got too much of a walled garden thing going on since nobody I know uses it.

You can say that again. My cat was so stressed he threw up this morning, poor little guy.

The thunder and lightning last night were bonkers. I seriously thought about getting out of bed multiple times to make sure my roof wasn't on fire or something...

We should probably try to enforce some quality control for the sources posted here. Why would anyone trust a Russian source for statistics detailing the Ukrainian side of the conflict?

I agree completely. Warning for democracy is total click bait, so long as we all make the bare minimum effort to find news elsewhere; its really not that hard for most people.

Sounds like you've got me all figured out. ¯(ツ)/¯

Why would the dev give you attention specifically? Like who the fuck are you? Delusional.

Believe it or not, I dont think these posts are part of a mass conspiracy to indocrinate the world into the Sync cult. Touch grass, bro.

Busting nuts in Japanese ladies, probably.

So I guess any new updates and features will just release on their own, huh?

In my experience you can have:

1. Good app that is free with ads,
2. Good app that is paid without ads,
3. Shit to mediocre app that is free without ads.

I've tried many alternatives, but so far the intuitiveness and beautiful UX of Sync stand apart from the competition for me. I respect FOSS apps, and even prefer them in some cases. But let's not pretend that its the best approach for every developer, or that anyone who releases a non-FOSS app is automatically greedy or sketchy.

Regional pricing is coming soon, hopefully that will help!

Regional pricing is apparently coming soon, just FYI.

You don't need to pay for Sync if you can't afford it either, though. A free version exists, the only noteworthy difference is that it shows ads. To your point, there are technically a few gated features behind the Ultra subscription, but these are niche inclusions that 99% of people probably wouldn't use even if they were included for free. I think of them more as an added bonus for supporting the dev.

So the 'principle' is that developers shouldn't be compensated for their hard work because it inconveniences you, is that right? Comparing a $20 lifetime purchase to the Reddit API pricing debacle is completely ridiculous. You sound incredibly entitled.
