I’ve never heard anybody suggest that 50 is middle aged, usually it’s traditionally been 30, or nowadays with life expectancies being higher, 36 is spot on.
Anyway, we’re all going to work until we’re dead, to keep the rich ruling class fed. There’s no escape.
I’m a sync ultra user. My sense of superiority is only eclipsed by my ignorance of what FOSS stood for. But seriously use what you like. I just want lemmy to grow.
I installed sync yesterday and am having a really hard time getting it to work as well as Jerboa. i feel like I’ve been in every setting, but the layout and UX just doesn’t seem nearly as good. It just feels like everything is multiple extra actions to do the same thing in Jerboa.
Like, what do you have to do to get a seamless experience in sync?
Years of tweaking my Sync for Reddit app and then just importing the settings in 3 taps. It’s not the answer you were looking for, but it’s what a lot of us did.
Yeah, I have used sync for years. Decided to switch to Lemmy once sync announced an app in production. I used Jerboa and Connect in the meantime, but now that Sync is here, it’s like sinking back into a warm bath.
I’m here because of Sync, and if it is good that I am here, it is good that Sync is here.
It’s about having the freedom to control your own devices. Proprietary software like Sync takes away that freedom, so it’s unethical. We should be complaining about it.
You’re going to have to explain how purchasing and using software that is completely voluntary takes away any freedom from anyone. It’s literally just a ui wrapper with different visuals and functionality that some people find useful enough to pay for. Entire legions of people protested the removal of these apps from Reddit. Nothing is free, the concept of that is broken.
This is not about price. Nobody is saying that authors can’t charge for their software. It’s about freedom.
Your computer/smartphone is controlled by the software that runs on it. Libre Software like Jerboa gives you the source code and the right to study it, modify it and distribute it. This means that anyone can verify what the program does and change it if needed. It means that users actually control the program. If the authors added malicious functionality, it would be easy to remove it.
Proprietary software doesn’t give you those freedoms. It’s very difficult to verify what such program does or change it. You can’t really control it, but it controls your device. If it contains malicious functionality, usually you can’t do anything about it. That’s why proprietary software is unethical. It gives developers power over their users and they often abuse that power.
Hey, you’re me! I’m a big fan of Sync (free version) thus far, and I’ve been able to tailor it as such that it’s damn near LiF for me. I love all the options and customization it offers. Big ups to Liftoff too, still use that from time to time
13 year RIF veteran, tried a few but stuck with Jerboa, just switched to Voyager (wefwef.app) as they just dropped their Android native app and so far I’m loving it.
I can’t tell if your joking. I also didn’t really care that much about open source software before coming here, but now I find myself searching out for open source replacements for the stuff I’m already using.
I know it’s satire but I hate when it’s so obvious they’ve seen like 4 episodes before they start riffing. Study the source material and then concoct your satire, don’t just wing it from the back cover…
Bandit tires, he makes mistakes, he fails miserably at teaching lessons at times and really the only truly unrealistic thing about Bluey as a whole is how fucking great those kids are (Bluey and Bingo.) They’re far to understanding and intuitive and don’t get me started on how they are as siblings with the worst conflicts being just about the mildest stuff ever.
If anything the show, like 99% of kids shows, has unattainably competent role models. No kid that watches it ever thinks they can be Bluey or Bingo because they’re just as unrealistic and unrelatable as Spider-Man. You can only be them in your fantasy. Being Chili and Bandit is far easier and I think that is why it’s so loved by parents, because it inspires us to do better, to try harder and to push through, like they do.
We need a kids show about a kid with ADHD and light Autism that tries but fails ever damn time but keeps on grinding. Celebrating the smallest of success.
I tried jerboa, I didn’t like it. Seems to basic and didn’t really function for me(was likely due to actual server issues rather than app issues though). I’m now on connect and pretty content though.
