Sync is just so much more polished and feature-rich than all of these already... It's exactly like how it was when it was for reddit, and it's just one dev! I don't mind at all paying for a fantastic app.

You guys are taking the justified corpo hate and extending it to talented individual devs just making a living.

Sync is fucking fantastic, just how I remember. I don't mind at all paying for a great app by a talented dev.

The pro version is supposed to be out later, and will just be a one-time payment unlike ultra's subscription

Just use Firefox, Mozilla already put their stance forward as opposing this garbage

Firefox is faster than chrome anyway nowadays.

...Yeah that's enough.

Blatantly, and knowingly, lying (let's not pretend that wasn't the intention) about his compensation to billet is too much. No excuses for that.

For those who don't get it, the japanese community shortens 'Lee gu macchi' (league match) to 'Li gu ma' (ligma)

!accidentalrenaissance@lemmy.blahaj.zone for us lemmy folks

...why did they make two comms though when kbin and lemmy work together?

In order to be truly independent from platforms like Reddit, communities need to be owned by their members in ways that platforms cannot take away.

What the fuck lmao you can't make this shit up 🤣🤣

They literally admitted the problem, but they're doubling down on siphoning even more money from their users instead

Yeah I've used all the apps in this post and Sync is just light years ahead of all of them right now. Well worth the 19$ to remove the ads

Kinda shitty to hate on Sync like this for not being foss when the dev never claimed it to be.

They've also been on Mastodon (@elonjet@mastodon.social) for about 8 months with 66k followers already

Much better

For those unaware, Mastodon had two massive security flaws discovered a few days ago thanks to Mozilla:

https://github.com/... (9.9/10 severity)

https://github.com/... (9.3/10 severity)

They even got a cute nickname, tootroot!

Finally, the Lemmy fanfiction I was waiting for

And that's why people should spread out, as is the entire point of decentralization

Lemmy doesn't crash, the .world server does. Just use a smaller instance like lemmy.zip or lemm.ee

The only person that can crack denuvo right now.

Clearly fucked in the head but there's no other option.

The Dutch government already made an official mastodon instance: social.overheid.nl

The Netherlands just can't stop being based

From what I understand, they're likely trying to kill the fediverse by making it irrelevant (embrace, extend, extinguish) seeing how it's finally starting to grow, since they can't just buy it up this time like they've always done to competitors.

Even aside from that though, their algorithms designed to retain user attention by any means necessary are definitely going to seep into and poison the fediverse, at least indirectly, if they're federated.

Not to mention they could easily run ads as normal posts and boost them artificially; they are an ad company after all. Wouldn't put it past them.

Not federating with them means we don't have to deal with all that, and the fediverse can just continue to grow naturally as it's been doing.

Federating on the other hand means a very real risk of permanently halting the fediverse's growth in favour of corporations', like Google did to XMPP

If there's one company you should preemptively block, it's Facebook. They have a track record of destroying anything and everything they touch and there is zero reason to think it won't be the same this time. From this post:

They aren’t some new, bright-eyed group with no track record. They’re a borderline Machiavellian megacorporation with a long and continuing history of extremely hostile actions:

• Helping enhance genocides in countries
• Openly and willingly taking part in political manipulation (see Cambridge Analytica)
• Actively have campaigned against net neutrality and attempted to make “facebook” most of the internet for members of countries with weaker internet infra - directly contributing to their amplification of genocide (see the genocide link for info)
• Using their users as non-consenting subjects to psychological experiments.
• Absolutely ludicrous invasions of privacy - even if they aren’t able to do this directly to the Fediverse, it illustrates their attitude.
• Even now, they’re on-record of attempting to get instance admins to do backdoor discussions and sign NDAs.

That's not the issue though, Photoshop doesn't have a native Linux version.

Using wine to run heavy productivity apps can be very troublesome and buggy

On that note, why would they decline tests in the first place? You're the one paying.
