Somebody downvoted you… I didn’t think the sync hate was a thing yet, anyway, Sync is a damn beauty, it handles the very aggressive ram management of android very well, for me (and for many many more aspects) I think Sync is the best app for Reddit and Lemmy, and maybe the best app I have ever used on Android LMAO.
While I agree (I paid for it on Reddit and Lemmy), the dev does disappear for stretches of time, like now. When my main instance updates to 0.19, I expect things will break in Sync as it hasn’t been updated since the release of 0.19.
My instance is using the latest Lemmy version and nothing broke for me, if any I don’t have the new sort types, if I want to use them I usually head to Voyager, sadly I didn’t find the new sort types very interesting, or maybe I need to browse them more hah.
I do agree that if he is charging for something he should be more present with their users though, but I’m pretty sure if something critical happened he would be on it ASAP, granted I don’t know how active he is in his Discord server or on GitHub.
vscode extension that summarizes Java’s exceptions for me so that I can easily find what’s wrong and which line caused it instead of scrolling through 100 lines of exception/error stack.
Experience designer here. Flip your question around. Ask people about what they hate about event planning, RSVPing, meetups, etc. Then fix one of those things.
Find a user need, the build something to address that need.
Why event organization? are you already familiar with each piece in that list? Why that tech stack? Do you need to care about scaling or is self hosting more fun for this?
The distinct concept might be to take that stack and do something else with scheduling? I think weaving in a thing you like or want to specialize in would be better than a generic scheduling app (I don’t know those apps you mentioned).
If you’re doing a web app focus then the MongoDB INSERTS and updates will be easy to template once you find how they communicate. The DB should do less of the logic and just hold your “primative” data that can’t be calculated. It might even do BLOBs if you want to skip a cloud bucket because you won’t have to scale…
All the people saying taxes or caps on income are missing the point. Who should impose those taxes or caps? The government is basically controlled by billionaires, it doesn’t matter what the ordinary citizens want.
Honestly I think the best means for changing things is right under our noses: voting. Not just federal, but also state and local. As it is now, in most places tax cuts that flow mostly to the wealthy are still a great political move that’s an easy way to get votes. That’s the first thing that needs to change.
There’s all kinds of groups like the Center for Tax Reform and the US Chamber of Commerce that push for policies that tend to increase financial inequality - but as far as I know there isn’t one for reducing inequality. Given how many people recognize the problem, maybe there should be one. And then politicians can start to fear that group as much as they fear the others. Of course it won’t have a lot of wealthy donors, but as some politicians have shown small donations can do a lot.
Voting doesn’t change anything when billionaires can be easily lobbied. Just look at what happening in France, it is not the US as there are some rules against it but politicians are doing exactly what billionaires want them to do. French people are against those laws in favor of the rich but the gouvernement doesn’t care.
No one seems to answer the question « why do we need a new one? ». Can someone give his/her thoughts on this ? I’m curious. Are the current engine not good enough?
Try resizing your browser window. Youll notice that the content reflows very slowly, and that youll often see giant ugly black bars. This is a pretty bad user experience for people who resize their windows often. That alone is not enough to warrant a rewrite of anything though, so thats why it hasn’t been fixed yet.
Google is a surveillance company with a huge impact on web standards thanks to its insane market share. Apple on its side uses its forced monopoly to prevent websites from competing with its app store. Gecko depends on Mozilla that depends on google for 90% of its revenue, and is today a good “look we’re not a monopoly” excuse for google.
I don’t think people want a new engine because the current ones don’t work. They want a new engine because they want the web to be truly open.
Trump is cursed to live until he Makes America Great Again. He will run election after election, with unnatural longevity, but once he gets back in office he only has one term left to find the error of his ways, discover Wisdom in Friendship, and bring moral-philosophy-flavour-of-the-month to the troubled but inherently glorious institution of American politics, or the curse will be fulfilled and he will spend eternity haunting golf clubs and expensive hotels not quite dead but never quite alive.

Tune in later to part II, where, in a world taken over by the all-powerful EU, Donald’s seventh descendent learns of the calamity of his forefather and sets out to rediscover the truth about America and set her people free from the tyranny of socialised healthcare. Coming soon: “The Seventh Trump”
Followed shortly after with direct-to-TV prequels “Seals and Fur Hats: the Decline of True America”; and sequels, “Bowling with the Ghosts of Presidents Past, Present and Future.”
Not sure what landscape features you’re looking for, but I’ve been pretty happy with Voyager. I switched from liftoff/jerboa after lemmy.ml took the 0.19 update and they broke. It’s been good enough that I think even if the others hadn’t broken, I’d still choose Voyager over them.
I use my 8" Samsung tab S2 for reading and responding. When in portrait the keyboard is to small, in landscape the keyboard I use (Hacker’s keyboard) is perfect.
Also, when you’ve seen more then half of a century, eyes and hands suffer from wear a tad.
I don’t know Liftoff, so can’t’ compare but I am using Mlem. I don’t know if it is a good app or not but It has all the functionalities you asked for. Changing from account is quite easy: one slice and tap and it is done.
I’ve been using Thunder for about a month now and I really like it. I wish it supported a few more image sites opening directly in the app instead of browser, similar to Sync.
I used liftoff and moved to thunder when my instance moved to 0.19.
I changed some settings to my liking and now I’m used to it. It isn’t a drop in replacement but is okay. It works in landscape mode and has a dark mode and almoled dark mode.
