This seems to be the model I’ve witnessed with many apps over the years. Free at first to get traction and users, then ads, then pay one time fee to get rid of ads, then subscription to keep using the app.

Then there are those that wouldn’t even pay a single fee and get upset at the thought as everything should be free.

The part that is upsetting is the contributions the early community made is monetized when they were they there for the benefit of the community.

I do see there are costs to maintaining and updating these apps so I can understand a need to keep revenue flowing for these future costs. The one time payment is a hell of a deal for years with updates to accommodate the revisions needed for each system update let alone functionality improvements.

In the old days we would buy software for our PC and that was it. There wasn’t really any updates or further support for newer versions of Windows. The software would become very insecure or just stop functioning altogether with enough changes to windows.

It’s hard to find the right balance. I know I only want to pay once, or heck never, but I want these upgrades and updates too.

Well more money for those extra large tires and truck lifts parts…

Some are and some pay extra for that…

I learned by sticking a butter knife into a outlet as a young child. That was a shocking surprise

I went to Columbus a few years ago and I was surprised how every restaurant I went no matter if it was a hole in the wall or a fine dining establishment they all had a version of Mac and Cheese on their menu.

From a simple version to versions with lobster I tried them all. Years later when I was in Montreal I noticed a similar theme where they all offer their version of Poutine.

I couldn’t imagine if KD made Poutine it would taste anywhere near what I ate in Montreal just as regular KD was nothing like the stuff I ate in Columbus that week.

Working through some of that now but the sweating and then cleaning the sweat off is making it worse. Still need to figure out a system where cleaning them doesn’t invite the fogging after. I think if I never sweated on them I would be fine for fogging up.

I’ve recently started wearing sports goggles for hockey as I can’t do contacts. I feel this one a lot. The fogging up and the constant sweating on the lens is never ending…

Same here but no option to edit a post.

*edit only comments it seems

What app do you use that allows you to edit?

WashedOver,
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

I’ll fix the typo once Jerboa is working again. Seems to be the only app I can use to edit a post with.

WashedOver,
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Jerboa has been upgraded since the summer. There was some stuff with swipe navigation which was an issue for my use case but I think that’s been changed along with many other things now. It should be my daily driver now over Sync but muscle memory so far is keeping it from not being yet.

WashedOver,
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

So far I think it depends on the app. I mostly use Sync which I suspect looks at Lemmy from a Reddit functionality point of view. As I recall you can’t edit post titles so I suspect the app doesn’t even include the option or it’s a paid feature.

When I use Jerboa there’s more options like editing post titles, and seeing the various up and down vote counts plus the total for posts/comments. In Sync it’s just the total of the upvotes/downvotes. I’m sure there’s more differences but these are the big ones I’ve seen so far.

Apparently if you say “no homo” after it doesn’t count?

My first thought was:

“he’s quoting Hitler almost daily now, this isn’t setting off any red flags?”

I guess the same as it was at the old place too. Hopefully it doesn’t get too crazy here with that crap.

Thank you for the info. I can’t log into Lemmy. World from a web browser or my Sync app. According to profile he’s in Ireland and probably asleep or at his age hopefully partying.

I’m just trying to understand these hidden rules. It’s not the first time I’ve bumped up against them and I didn’t think of the abortion angle. I’ll keep this in mind as it’s usually not top of mind for me.

WashedOver,
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Ahh that makes more sense. I’m usually browsing via Hot so I missed the others

WashedOver, (edited )
@WashedOver@lemmy.ca avatar

Thanks. I just figured that out. The original link kept taking me to a lemmy.world instance that I couldn’t log into. With the manually altered one from above I could message him for the hidden rules that aren’t posted in the side bar for Shitposting. Hopefully we can get those added to the side bar too.

This was the error I first received :

Ok this works now.

I was about to say I believe you 100% but my browser would like to have a word.

I see that you have manually changed the link to the profile with my instance instead of the one I was sent.

Here’s where I got hung up. I couldn’t log into Lemmy.world either.

Thanks again!

If it was the first one no, same for the second and third, but this one is off as it seems to be about their agenda not a bunch of stupid masturbation jokes

With the articles and comments I’ve read in the past few months one could have a hard time not seeing what’s left of Twitter in this photo…

Back when I dated this was a big deal. I suspect this height requirement to get on the rides still hasn’t really changed all these years later. I do think they have requested the deletion of the weight requirements though…
