What if you're both a fanatical sync user and an arch user?

Because that's me ๐Ÿ™‹

Didn't have to think twice to get Sync Ultra lifetime for the amazing value Sync has been in my life the past 10 years. Even paid for previous Sync for Reddit versions. Easy decision. Thanks LJ

Now B is a cause I can get behind...

That's Top-10-social-apps-on-the-Play-store shitware app to you

How do I give more money than I already have to this pig of a dev who made the Lemmy experience so great to me and countless others such that it is now in the top 10 social apps on the Play store?

I subscribe to RSS feeds for subreddits that don't exist on Lemmy just so that I don't give them any clicks or ad revenue.

For answers to questions or problems that are only available on Reddit, I turn on my favorite privacy browser, I hold my breath, go to that specific post, get my answer, and gtfo asap.

Like the saying goes, never stick it in crazy. But if you have to, be protected.

Like @skye pointed out, I suspect it might indeed be based on region. I remember another thread where a user reported seeing Sync rated at 3 stars, whereas others reported 5 stars.

Top 6 app behind X (still can't get used to that stupid name) and before Facebook lite... not bad

Would you pay a yearly fee to continue getting updates for your now no longer being updated but perfectly fine otherwise phone? I would.

Good question. At that point I'd explore replacing the OS altogether with GapheneOS or LineageOS.

When it comes to cars though, I don't find FSD an appealing enough value to continue paying (or even begin to pay in the first place). But to your point, that doesn't mean Tesla shouldn't price it how they want and people to buy it if they wish.

I see where you're coming from. And I also agree with the subscription heated seats.

I think we might actually be advocating for the same thing lol. I was making the argument that manufacturers should have a one-time price for things that are packaged along with the product (with the exception of features like FSD that requires a continuing service to operate and evolve), but jailbreaking static features like heated seats is fair game.

However, your post got me thinking... If it is reasonable for FSD to be a subscription model, how are FSD updates different than, let's say, your phone having updates and security patches? We don't currently pay for new versions of iOS or Android. Granted the complexity and stake of FSD is greater than a phone, it is similar fundamentally
