Corporations are coming, it's inevitable, but at least this time we won't have to deplatform ourselves to have a sensible discussion.

But your karma in life will catch up.

So are translations. Quite a few apps benefit from translations, so if you speak two or more languages helping in translation is very easy.

Thanks mate

I didn't know about this, while I think marketplace part of f Droid may still be better, but update part of Obtainium seems well advanced, I'll try for sure

And that link somehow doesn't open well for me, something about a bracket I believe

Thumbs up from fellow lawnchair user.

Ex AIO launcher guy here, I used it for well over a year, gave up because even though widgets are supported, they break so often.

Oh no one will ever command this line more than rorschach.

Can someone help me see how the cross apps thing works? Like can you link some mastodon post that I can see here on lemmy?

Yeah i think cult mentality is the problem. If someone doesn't want to pay or cannot pay, it's their choice/circumstances. If they don't like sync's pricing and wanna stick to FOSS apps, it's their choice. I don't like to see people pushing around others for their choice of what they think is the best.

Actually I'd invite the FOSS developers to learn from UI of sync. If they get better, I'll switch to FOSS apps, I'd contribute to FOSS if I had the time, but I don't and their UI does feel unpolished. Used liftoff and jerboa before sync.

I was using both jerboa, liftoff before sync came along. But my problem with both was effectively less dense information. And hard to navigate comments. The more I have to scroll the more I dislike it. Sync is good at packing information densely if you wish to do so. But also good at spacing it out if you like that layout.

It's cool to hate it, for a lot of people who moved to fediverse early, it's a matter of FOSS software and an ideology. Everyone has a flexing point in their ideology, early adopters of fediverse can't be flexible at closed source products. I personally draw my flexing boundary at large capitalist companies. Sync is developed by one guy and tbh with a way pretty UI than any of the FOSS software has (my personal opinion) so I like it. And I use it. But I understand the ideological point of FOSS everything, but I don't understand people who want FOSS everything but they contribute nothing.

I said somewhere else in this post as well. It's a lot of fun, but I can't be doing that my whole life, I have other interests in my life as well that require time and attention.

Oh it is, when I was in uni I had the time of my life with arch, now once I'm working, married and juggling few other interests and suddenly, I have so little time to actually build exactly the way I like it in arch, and I've resorted to picking a just works distro on my machines. And I feel the learning curve had also flattened out for me, more effort I put now, less I learn. So I understand even enthusiasts at some point in life may choose to just go the less work route.

That would be digical. The only sensible calendar widget as far as I know.

Those ikea chairs, man they give me nightmare

Alright this convinced me to try it out. Thanks
