What gives DENTISTS feelings of power? Shaming non FLOSS users.

[–] inpotheenveritas 18 points 11 months ago

That was one well-executed dad-joke.

I was using Jerboa up until now and am now using Sync because I used it for Reddit.

....and that's it. I don't understand why this gets so much talk. There are so many options. Just use something. We all want Lemmy to grow so I don't see the problem.

I never thought I'd be in an environment where FOSS user is the majority demographic.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (10 children)

I feel like I'm hanging out in a crypto community where Bitcoin maximalists are the majority... I hate it.

We should probably start emailing all the Lemmy devs, client devs, etc. and shaming them for using GitHub since it's not open source and open source options for source control are available. /s

Reminds me of the persecution complex people have about vegans. Like, they're actually right and you kind of have your head up your ass.

I'm a sync ultra user. My sense of superiority is only eclipsed by my ignorance of what FOSS stood for. But seriously use what you like. I just want lemmy to grow.

What exactly did you not like? Using it now and it's come a huge way in just a few weeks. Of all the apps I've tried it had the most compact and quick interface.

I feel people had a lot of loading issues when instances were going down left and right which gave Jerboa an unfair reputation through no fault of its own.

My... Friend... Wanted to know where he can download foss because he couldn't find it in the Google app store ..

[–] UhBell 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

FOSS is Free Open Source Software. All Lemmy apps except Connect and Sync are FOSS.

[–] iamascaryvampire 30 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Thank you very much. Gosh my friend is sooooo dumb

You can download FOSS from the same people you download RAM from.

Unless you're an independently wealthy jackass, I'm not sure how you can attack non-FOSS software users. I am a software engineer and I get paid to write software. I write some code for fun at home too and if people use any of my projects Im delighted. But if you want bug fixes and reliability and consistent new features and updates to apis and I have to listen to your bullshit complaints about how XYZ is better, you bet your ass I'm gonna charge for that.

It's like a baker making bread who gives out a few loaves for free at first. You don't get to complain if 100s of people show up demanding free bread and he starts charging them. Maybe communism is a system that demands people work for free, but elsewhere you're entitled to whatever wage the market will bear.

[–] Gyrolemmy 13 points 11 months ago (3 children)

The bread analogy dies at the same point that the piracy argument dies. It isnt truly stealing to make a copy of something.... and it doesnt cost a developer more effort the more people that download their app.

Yes i would download a car.

I've been a Lemmy about 2 weeks and I'm practically radicalized for FOSS. I'm about to custom install Arch Linux and burn a Sync user at the stake.

Can we talk about something else

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever been part of an online community that was this much into Linux. I mean I get it, great open source operating system to stick it to the corpos, but it feels like only a certain slice of Reddit came over and it isn't fully representative of the main Reddit population.

Then again we were mostly united about the 3rd party app thing, which a lot of Redditors didn't really care about (otherwise more would be here).

I had been using Liftoff and am now trying out Voyager and Sync.

So far Sync is winning me over.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago (9 children)

I've been using liftoff to pretty good results

This is all sounding a bit insular. I'm happy with the tech stuff but let's not turn the entire site into a discussion about a specific app or two.

Listen I love the Foss apps, but sync is so fucking good. I use multiple apps for different reasons, I did the same with reddit. I just really missed sync.

As long as FOSS and paid versions of something can exist at the same time and the paid thing is actively trying to push out the FOSS stuff, I have no issue with a paid option.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Voyager for me (previous name was wefwef). Works like a charm.

I'm switching between Connect, Infinity and will try Sync. I'm waiting for Boost, and hoping that developer/s of Joey will make client for Lemmy
