I'll pay 15x more for Sync if it's Open-Sourced in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.world
[–] MuskX@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago

I don't care about it being open source.

LJD has proven to be an excellent dev, who also listens to his users. He's built to a lot of trust as a result.

If he sold Sync, then my answer might be different.

Do you reread books? in c/literature@beehaw.org
[–] MuskX@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I almost never re-read books. I suppose if it has been a really long time - like 15 or 20 yrs - and I loved the book, then I'm not against the idea.

This is probably because one of the things I love about reading most is not knowing where things are going to go. Hence why I like a lot of suspense/thriller type stories.

Sync for Lemmy is happening in c/syncforlemmy@lemmy.ml

Sync was not only my favourite Reddit app, it was probably my favourite app.

Its UI was so usable that I found myself using the same gestures and taps to navigate through other apps and being disappointed when that didn't work.

It was that good.

Bring it on!

If you are going to use reddit on mobile and are on android, use the Revanced version of Boost, Sync or the official Reddit app in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

That's going to be Sync for Lemmy??

That would awesome. I was a Sync for Reddit user and it was probably the best app I've ever used from a user experience point of view.

[rant] Why is this so hard for people? in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social
[–] MuskX@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

I don't properly understand how all of this works.

But signing up to kbin on the weekend was just like signing up for anything else online.

And once I did, replying to posts - like this one - was more or less the same as replying on any other discussion forum.

So....I don't get it, what's so hard? Do you really need to understand the technical details underneath to start using this place?

That said, I would like to grasp this whole thing a little better. But I figured the best way to do that is to jump straight in and go from there! :)

Battery Saver Mode - S23 Ultra (media.kbin.social)

Battery Saver Mode - S23 Ultra

I recently unexpectedly got stuck without my charger for 3 days.

When I realised that would be the case towards the end of day 1, I put the phone into battery saver mode. It lasted me those 3 days until I got to my charger again.

But here's the thing, I didn't notice any practical difference in how the phone ran. It was still super fast/smooth. The only noticeable thing was it connected to 4G instead of 5G. But around here I'm averaging 200/20 up/down in 4G speeds, so I can't notice any real difference using the phone.

So two weeks later, I still haven't switched battery saver off! I only need to charge every 2 to 3 days and it never gets below about 25%.

Has anyone else used this? Do you actually notice any difference in usability?

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra passed through FCC, signaling nearing launch in c/android@kbin.social
[–] MuskX@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I'm tempted to have a look at this.

I have an iPad pro with the M1 chip. It's super capable in terms of specs and yet I find myself able to do things on my S23 Ultra that I can't with the iPad. Why does my phone feel closer to a laptop replacement than my tablet!?

It's frustrating at times. Simple things like the file system for example really annoy me.

It's like the hardware is really held back by the software. If iPad OS doesn't improve massively soon, I'm selling it and going all Samsung.

Love the framing on this.

Nice, something very relaxing about this picture.

Are you serious? That's pretty funny!

Reddit CEO Triples Down, Insults Protesters, Whines About Not Making Enough Money From Reddit Users in c/news@beehaw.org
[–] MuskX@kbin.social 111 points 2 years ago (19 children)

Yes, Reddit is a big dataset and yes, Reddit deserves to make some money off that if other organisations are going to scrape that data, for AI or anything else.

That's what they should be blocking and monetizing. Not those few users using 3rd party apps. Those folks (posters, mods) are amongst the ones creating that data set for Reddit, free of charge.

They are right about needing to make money to continue as a successful business. But they are doing it the wrong way and alienating their key assets.

Which is why I'm here :)
