Honestly dodged a bullet there when they can’t even get their errors straight. Obviously an undefined variable you and me would be more appropriate. Duh. 👯♀️
My brain is too mushy to do it myself right now, but I wonder what the result would be if we were to consider the alphabet a base-26 number system and added the numbers that correspond to those letters.
Okay, can’t argue with that :D my point was that development is so fuck up nowadays that nothing can be done offline anymore (at least easily) and this new generation of developers don’t even know how their hardware works, the basics of an OS and their favorite tools. They can’t live without pulling a few docker images and whatnot.
Idk, half the apps look like they are just a fork of one app including sync. Why pay for an app that is mostly just a reskin of an open source project.
It just looks like every other lemmy app. They all look the same with a few things changed and their talking points are so similar from app to app. It’s almost completely impossible to decifer the differences without trying them out. If it wasn’t a fork I wouldn’t know because they are so similar on the play store.
If anything, the Lemmy apps would look like Sync, because obviously Sync has existed way longer, even before Lemmy was even a thing. The more likely reason most of them look the same on Android, is because they’re following some (sometimes older) form of Material Design, the design standard for Android.
It would be easier just to imagine a generic social media app than to copy sync. It would look similar too because sync is pretty generic in feature set, like all social media apps are in feature set. Besides I pay developers for making a good app not paying the developers to make it a good app.
I did the opposite. The moment I saw Sync for Lemmy available to download I installed it and immediately purchased Ultra because bless LJ for making the superior app. He deserves getting paid for his work. And it’s not like he requires you to pay for the app. It’s free for everyone, you just get some additional features if you are willing to pay and by doing that you also support the developer. So I decided to support him. I’ve been using Sync for Reddit before and I knew I needed this app for Lemmy. Now I feel home.
