People like this are actually the best ones to have running such a project. For them it's not just a pet-project to pass time, or a small way to show their skills. It's a necessary step for them, to be able to keep their online presence.

You'd be surprised at how effective people can be, when they're doing something out of spite.

Thanks man.

I've been using ChatGPT for quite a few things recently, but started to question whether the 20€/m was worth it.

Some person suggested that using an interface, with my API key, would be more sustainable, as it most likely wouldn't exceed my monthly cost. Unfortunately they never gave me a hint towards where to find such an interface, so I'm very grateful that you were able to help.

I'm very pleasantly surprised by what you sent - seems like i found a new substitute!

Cheers!

I've been using Jerboa for quite a while now. Everything has worked alright, with no big complaints.

After the 0.18 update, I have had issues with using lemmy.world, so I decided to give yourbsuggestion a try instead.

Turns out I had already installed Liftoff, and was quite surprised now that I gave it a second try.

It's clearly still in development, and there are some things from Jerboa that I will miss, but I'm set on giving it a sincere try this time around.

If anyone is interested, its available in the Play Store:

Hey OP, you forgot to mention what kind of interface you used ;)

Hopefully the meme-posters will stay on Reddit

I hear what youre saying, and I do agree, but keep in mind that the developer of Apollo has definitely come out well in all of this.

He has made millions from Apollo. Yes plural. Yes in USD.

I'm not saying he isn't deserving of his success, I just want you to be aware that he is definitely well off.

Look, I'm all for reminiscing about "the good ole days" of YouTube, but let's be honest - the 5-star-system was pretty useless, and was used in the same was as up/down thumbs.

You would either rate the video 5 stars or 1 star. Always.

The switch to thumbs up/down made it much more easy to judge a video. And with the green/red bar beneath, you badicslly had a more condensed star-rating.

YouTube (or rather Google) have made a lot of bad decisions regarding the platform over the years, but I sincerely think that switching to thumbs was a good change.
