Or switch to linux and you can make it always be an animated, sentient gauntlet

“virtually” impossible. hehehe

lol it was ‘tell’ being used as a noun. its uncommon and i assumed the person just made a typo

What the fuck… I just commented on another post where I was failing to read a sentence. This was literally the next post I saw.

nanoers just never figured out how to :wq

How can I simultaneously agree with you and the other person?

im defending the people it was directed at

haha silly commie. if there’s no money, where you gonna get your money?

I literally said I donate dumbass. I don’t want Sync for free cunt. I don’t want Sync at all if it uses ads I have to pay to remove when I have a free alternative. That’s not a cheapskate decision. That’s called not wasting my fucking money. If someone likes Sync, then it isn’t a waste for them.

And I reply each time you do. Doesn’t take that long. Beyond that, the people digging this far are like you. My original comments are upvoted so clearly I’m not against everyone here…

Doesn’t have to be the only thing you do. Where do you think FOSS software comes from?

i said don’t need not don’t use. its such a ridiculous comment to call people cheapskates. this defence of Sync is wild in these comments.

The original post is about someone using a free app (the web app). They check out Sync and see that it has ads and costs money otherwise, and that cost has no regional pricing (apparently). So they continue to use the web app. It’s a fair complaint and it doesn’t make them a cheapskate. Doesn’t have anything to do with other people’s choices. Doesn’t mean the dev is an evil person. It’s a just a bruh moment they had.

Donations work. The dev clearly has many loyal fans willing to pay. Look at Jerboa/Lemmy’s donation pages. It’s good money.

Besides this I’m not even saying the dev shouldn’t do it. I’m just explaining that I don’t like it.

I gladly donate to FOSS software devs because the product never forces me to log in for a feature or get a key or see an ad. The app doesn’t get any of the bloat required to do that stuff either. I just don’t want to use Sync and it’s not because I’m cheap

i never bitched about $20. its so funny how many times i had to explain this. i didnt use the app because i already had a free app that i dont pay for. i see no reason to use the paid app. somehow that completely reasonable decision makes me a “cheapskate”. I dont even know how you could read what I just said and think that reply would make sense.

It’s a forum. Not everything is reddit.

Irrelevant to my point but either way I saw other posts about a subscription.

I’m still just using Jerboa. It was buggy when I first used it but a few updates later it does it all fine.

That’s not the only alternative.

Yes, the ads make a little money. But it’s still a problem you create then sell the solution to. It’s at least half the reason to do ads.

Well I’d like to complain about people complaining about people complaining about Sync >:)
