Give NixOS a shot. It’s got a learning curve that may be difficult if you’ve never read code, but it’s my preferred immutable setup.

It even has more packages than Arch.

Here’s the video that got me onto it:

Bro just accept the L and quit while you still can

Edit: I just saw the thread 💀

I’m really enjoying Otterwiki. Everything is saved as markdown, attachments are next to the markdown files in a folder, and version control is integrated with a git repo. Everything lives in a directory and the application runs from a docker container.

It’s the perfect amount of simplicity and is really just a UI on top of fully portable standard tech.

The apology video to me rang hollow and self serving. They made jokes (including a sex joke which was very unfortunate timing), they teased a new product and plugged lttstore, they said the details on how Labs does thorough testing will be paywalled, they publicly disclosed Billets prototype price which GN’s video clearly stated they did not want public (an error in the video apologizing for errors), and then there’s Linus’ response.

I’ve canceled my floatplane subscription and unsubscribed from all of their YouTube channels. I was willing to see them through on the original accusations from GN, but after that “apology” and the accusations from Madison, I no longer feel okay rewarding them with my time and money.

Then you missed where they dropped an opportunity to show a new screwdriver variant coming to LLTStore.com 🤦

Thank you for this, I don’t normally use twitter but I read some people saying the Threadreader app wasn’t up to date with all the comments.

This situation sucks and was something I would have been willing to see through. But after reading the thread from Madison this morning I’ve decided to cancel my Floatplane subscription. While the accusations she makes are currently accusations, they’re pretty damning and worth taking seriously in case they are more than allegations. I await LMG’s response to her thread, as I feel that will be the deciding factor in whether or not I continue to consume and support anything LMG does going forward.

I was using Vanced for around a year, and immediately switched to Revanced when it became available. No issues so far

You could always try Asahi Linux if you’re on a newer MacBook

You’re not paying to remove ads from Lemmy. You can continue using Lemmy ad-free on mobile via the mobile site or any of the other PWA’s or native apps. What you’re paying to remove ads from is Sync. The developer has decided that they need to be compensated to sustain the amount of effort developing and maintaining the app requires. If you don’t want to pay that price with cash or your eyeballs then don’t use it.

Nobody is forcing you to use Sync, nobody is forcing you to see ads. The beauty of a platform like Lemmy is you have the choice to use whatever client you want. That doesn’t mean you’re entitled to any of them.

There’s an expression I think about a lot, “You can’t think when you’re hungry”

Unfortunately principles and ideals are calorie-free

We may not like it, but this is what progress looks like?

Or install ReVanced and enjoy all of that for nothing, including Sponsorblock

The hype is because Sync was a long standing and well respected client for reddit, that is now available for Lemmy.

For many users this means they can finally try Lemmy through an interface they know from a dev they trust.

I don’t use Sync, or Infinity, but the more the merrier!

Welcome! Here’s a Youtube Short from @misnina@crystals.rest that I think does a great job of summarizing Lemmy and the Fediverse:

I’m also seeing this take place on the desktop site. The Sync admin can’t really do anything algorithmically as that isn’t supported by the API

He could request top posts in X time frame, like last 4 hours or so and then do manual sorting, but it seems more likely that it’s just an influx of users as a result of the app releasing.

This is a known bug in 0.18.3, a fix will be in the next release:

Same experience in Argentina and Paraguay

I never used Sync. I’m not a fan of gesture controls

I was interested until I saw it uses swipe gestures for interaction :/
