Recently picked up the Kingsenton Slimblade Pro. Love it.

Yeah Barbie is played by this really good actress! Looking forward to seeing her in more stuff!

Any possibility of them releasing a gesture typing library with this? I can’t seem to find one in the wild.

There is no need for an actual installed adblocker. You can simply change system wide DNS to block ads. You can really use any DNS you choose, but I’d suggest mullvads DNS.

Look for “private DNS” on your phone, or switch it on your browser if on desktop.

I like OpenCritic for game reviews now. It’s a site that aggregates a lot of reviews into one site. If not there I always trust steam reviews of games.

Y’all need to start sorting by top posts the past 6 hours. Changed Lemmy for me. Right now the algorithm for hot and active is too stale.

I use Notion for organizing my DnD campaign. Love how this is looking so far. I’ll add a feature request for linking to other pages, and implementation of a table in each note. Thanks for your work!

hackernews is bigoted? Well that’s news. I had no idea.

Okay so say I believe you. Why do you think a large majority of third party devs shuttered their projects they worked on for so long if it was just as easy as adding a subscription fee? Why didn’t more of them do it? I know of one that actually implemented a subscription. If folks were actually doing much less than 1000 API calls daily then you’d think most devs would have gone that way right?

They would actually use much more. See [here] ( https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/141mjij/lets_talk_about_those_api_calls/). Basically almost everything is an API request. Just loading a post and doing very little you have close to 33 requests. Even if my math was wrong it’s still way too much to pay for per day. Especially if folks are using much more that 1000 API calls per day.

Okay let’s do the math. According to here there is expected to be about 55.79 million folks using reddit daily. Let’s say a good 5 million folks use Sync. Now, reddit said it would charge $0.24 per 1000 API calls. You can find that here. Now 1000 calls isn’t much at all really. Let’s say those 5 million folks just 1000 API calls a day ( they wont’ actually use ONLY 1000 ). So we have 1000 * 5,000,000 * 0.24 = $1,200,000,000. That’s per day. Does that seem sustainable to you? Like if folks were using MUCH MUCH less I could see your point. But the fact is…they weren’t and reddit were being assholes about it. Now compare that to what he’s charging. $17 bucks for a year. Let’s break that down and compare it to what he’d be paying per day. Say all 5 million users were paying for Ultra. That’s 5,000,000 * 17 = $85,000,000. Divide that by 12 to get per month. 85,000,000/12 = $7,083,333 per month. Divide by 30 for average revenue per day. $7,083,333/30 = $236,111. Now tell me that even comes close to $1,200,000,000. Your logic is flawed. This doesn’t even account for fees and possible server costs.

Holy shit y’all. Developers need to eat too. It’s totally fine to charge for an app or serve ads. LjDawson is a fantastic developer and really listens to his user base. Yes there are plenty of open source apps to use, but sometimes closed source is way more polished because the developer makes it their job to create the app. Living isn’t free. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Very very unlikely. Considering the underlying point of Lemmy is that it is decentralized, the devs would have to add something similar and possibly every instance would have it’s own place.

No 2fa…yet. It’s in the works. For now you should be using an email to register. If not I don’t know what instance you are on as Lemmy by default requires an email.

Instead of asking “why?” consider asking “why not?”
