I see, makes sense. So if I get it correctly, the idea is to make it easier for new people to join the fediverse, and not so much to improve the experience for those of us already here (although it seems that is also a goal).
But why is that such a great benefit? We already have a myriad accounts for different services/platforms; would this be merely a marginal improvement over the current situation?
IMO both of these ended up being poor names.
“Open source” can be co-opted to mean any project with public source code even if it’s not open contribution (think SQLite, and many of the projects effectively run by major tech corporations).
“Free software” falls victim to the eternal mixup with freeware, requiring the endless repetition of the “beer vs. speech” analogy.
I personally think “Libre software” is the term that best encapsulates the intended meaning while being unambiguous and not vulnerable to misinterpretation.
Uh, yeah, I do use light mode during the day, and dark mode at night. I find it a bit hard to read dark screens in daylight :)
Oh wow, I had looked into the settings but somehow I missed the theming options! 🙈
This is the default theme out of the box :)
You can download an apk from the releases page.
Username checks out ^(sorry for the redditism 🙈)
there’s no way to activate pro right now, and afaik that option is not coming.
Since beta 25 it is now possible (and the developer had mentioned before that it was coming).
Edit: I stand corrected (should have read your comment more attentively), what’s available is, as you say, the option to remove ads with a one-time payment, as well as the sync ultra subscription. I’m not sure how the ad removal option is different from the pro mode in sync for reddit, though.
You know what, I had paid for the lifetime pro mode in sync for reddit, and usually prefer one-time payments to recurring subscriptions, but I chose to go with the recurring ultra subscription this time, to contribute to your regular financial stability. Your dedication is commendable. Thanks for all the work you’ve done over the years!
Workflowy and Teuxdeux are two web apps where I spend an embarrassingly large amount of my time online. I wish there were FOSS alternatives because I would happily contribute features and fixes to the issues I bump into in my daily usage.
While more smarts in natural language understanding would be welcome, I don’t feel like that’s what the assistant is missing the most. The biggest advantage that google assistant has is the potential for tight integration with the system (Android). IMHO it would pay off to make it more capable in terms of interacting with existing apps, setting up flows of actions, etc., than necessarily making it be able to communicate more fluently.
Wow, it’s the first time I come across anyone who says they use

. How does it differ fromnano
andmicro
?Btw, I used to use
dit
several years ago, but swapped it formicro
due to some keyboard shortcut issues (which are probably fixed now).
