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

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.

[–] Xeknos@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (5 children)

This. I've been using Jerboa ever since making the switch to Lemmy. There wasn't much of a learning curve and it basically does what I want, so I'm happy with it.

I started off using jerboa. Just installed sync to see what the fuss is about. At the core it's pretty much the same. One thing sync does better, at least on my phone, is smoother loading/rendering of content. There were times id actually use Lemmy web instead.

With that said, my favorite reddit app Boost, is working on a Lemmy client too. So I'm looking forward to that as well.

Am I ditching jerboa? No, not yet.

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

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

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@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] iamascaryvampire@lemmy.world 30 points 1 year 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.

Yeah, still liked Connect better

[–] LilBagOfBunnies@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Connect is great but I can't get over how ugly I think the icon is, so I've been using Liftoff instead. Turns out I'm shallow when it comes to tech!

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.

I read your name as rustic titties, and I have never been more disappointed in my whole life...

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

[–] Gork@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year 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.

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.

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