Just block the !random community, done.

Key Messages rocks. Comes with built-in badword filter and some other nifty config.

Not open source though.

He was also doing a PhD at the same time, and writing a dissertation is not exactly a small feat.

Yep it's still a beta, that will be coming soon.

Lemmy Ultra = Sync Ultra

Lemmy Adfree = Sync Pro

The old app was simply too cheap, that's that. One-off purchases for $2 are hardly sustainable for individual developers.

Adfree is 20 bucks, how is that insane?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (4 children)

That's for ultra. Simple adfree is 20 for a lifetime.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Exactly. And lifetime is just about 100 bucks, who cares. Sure it sounds like more than the casual $2 you throw at a random app to remove ads, but considering that I used Sync daily for ~12 years, it's really just peanuts in the long run.

I've bought a bunch of seemingly cheaper apps and then used them 10 times over 2 years and they ended up discontinued, that's like 20 cents per use.

I'd have racked up tens of thousands with Sync that way. Easily the most used app on my phone.

If it's open source, the developer can't monetize it. Everyone will just be able to remove ads and compile it from scratch.

FOSS is all fine and dandy, unless being a developer for a popular service (or app) is your sole source of income.

Ultra is another subscription with different benefits altogether.

Adfree is the regular pro version, which is way cheaper. Make sure you double check before you recommend pirating software.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's pro. Ultra is something else entirely.

$20 is what it takes to remove ads. Ultra is another subscription with different benefits altogether.
