what's the point of judging? Sync is the only app so far that has full, thoughtful support for foldable phones and the dev genuinely has been putting in a lot of work into it. I bought the No Ads IAP and I'm perfectly happy with it, but there are so many good options now for those that want something completely free.
Because the open source community has been full of a bunch of people who built whole personalities on shitting on anything not FOSS. And even though they now have an opportunity to bring a lot more people into the community than before they'd rather play these stupid arrogant superiority games instead of just letting people enjoy things how they want to enjoy them.
Right? No need for the smugposting
Smugposting would be me calling sync people "Lemmy J. Fry"
Cause FOSS people are worse than vegans. It's like Linux users but infinitely worse.
FOSS ≠ better or good. Most of the FOSS Lemmy apps are usability nightmares right now. The only reason I was using jerboa for so long is because sync wasn't out yet
FOSS apps often suffer from mediocre UX/UI since the expected audience are power users, but it alienates users that aren't. They're functional for those who need it, yes, but is the GUI high quality? More often than not, they aren't.
I'm not saying FOSS can't have bad UI, like Blender for example, but those are the exception, not the rule.
For me, Connect and Thunder are getting there, but they don't have the same level of quality and finesse as Sync. Though to be fair, Sync has a decade of work put into it.
Bro you're smugposting rn
I'm really just disappointed nobody found "Lemmy J Fry" funny. That had me cracking up before I went to sleep last night. Either way, I feel less... passionate about the subject after a good night's sleep. Spend money, don't spend money, doesn't matter either way as long as you're here. Now, the moment I hear about awards or ads on Lemmy instances, imma be back on my bullshit, and I hope some of you will join in 🙂
Hahaha with you 100% there
Pretty sure I said "to each their own".
Saying something at the end of your rant doesn't preclude anyone from responding to you.
It's a rant now? You're putting tens on twos. Gotta relax bud.
Your post? Your comment?
Congrats on being insufferable, bud.
Thanks, it took a lot of hard work and dedication. I'll do us both a favor and block you, so that we can get on with our lives. This Convo has obviously gone on too long.
Please, stop, don't.
