I'm on Pixel 7 Pro and after this winter (dry hands) I'm leaning towards iPhone. I'm so sick of failing the fingerprint scanner 3-4 times before having to resort to the pin code.
FaceID worked so well on the Pixel 4 XL - why isn't any Android manufacturer picking it up??
Feels like something that can be very frustrating unless they get it perfectly right
Is it just money? Or why would Lavia and Caicedo choose the football dumpster fire project that is Chelsea over Liverpool?
Ah, might be! It's been 10+ years since I tried it. Back then I found it very hard to navigate
Same with Lightroom vs Darktable.
I loved infinity for reddit. Did I miss a memo or something, I thought he decided to try to make the reddit client financially sustainable?
Yeah, Google+ was such a hit thanks to its lack of users
I disregarded it because just from reading the description, I thought I knew how it would end. Finally gave it a chance and they dismissed my theory in the first episode 😅
100% recommend the show!
It's like people are trying to misinterpret.
Liftoff is strictly using Lemmy's free API and for the developer 5 users or 5M users doesn't make a difference to his expenses.
The Sync developer is obviously trying to do something more ambitious.
It's great that we have FOSS apps that do a decent job but we shouldn't look down on developers who put a lot of time, effort, and money into something expecting to make a return on their investment.
I don't like data collecting either but I accept that if you want to offer a free version - it's inevitable. What I hate is when you're not able to pay for ads to go away.
But I might be biased as I'm a developer myself and would hate to put 8-9 weeks of hard work into delivering a great app and then get hate for wanting to get something in return for that work.
I think you're spot on and it applies in general to why we see a trend of subscriptions. When we all got our first smartphones, most apps were local and it didn't cost the developer more if they had 1M downloads compared to if they had 50 downloads.
I think the main issue is we don't know where Lemmy is one year from now. I have already started to see a decline in my usage because there simply isn't enough content. /c/football is virtually dead it feels like and it (or rather /r/soccer) was my number one subreddit.
Eh, I don't think I should use my phone more while in bed...
