Hmmmm (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I guess googleads sucks even more than I thought

Love the app! Bought the adfree for reddit, plan on buying this one too once I move out of my car.

I think that font is more offensive.

Idk why, but it seems to help my dyslexia. ¯\(ツ)

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

There are non-awful fonts designed specifically for dyslexia.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 weeks ago

So I went looking, and found this

https://opendyslexic.org/

Which also looks weird to me, but if it makes it easier for someone with dyslexia to use their phone then I'm all for it :)

Basically mirrored letters are bad for dyslexia

[-] ReiRose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Oooooh, that makes sense! And also randomly reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Lisa can't deciper the cereal box clue even though everyone else gets it.

[-] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 week ago

Thanks. Sent that to my son.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

I know Amazon also developed some very un-janky dyslexic typefaces for the Kindle, but I don't know if they can be had for free.

Agreed, Helvetica Ultra Compressed or bust

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

That's a beautiful font.

jk tell us about the bet you lost

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 9 points 1 week ago

Just use one of the many open source Lemmy apps, such as Voyager or Jerboa. They don't have ads.

[-] Legend@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah jerboa have a similar to boost UI too .

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Or pay the app developer the £3.59 one time fee they are asking for for the hard work they've put into making the app good.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Why, when free and open source alternatives exist? I don't know about you, but I'd rather donate to something like Jerboa, than spend the same amount of money supporting proprietary software. Especially as Lemmy itself is an open source protocol.

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I find Boost more pleasant to use. 4$ is not a lot, and you're even hanging out in this channel yourself. If you pay to remove ads, there's also no tracking

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I'm glad it's working well for you. Other people who don't want to pay, or don't want ads, should know that free alternatives without ads exist, though.

[-] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I read this as goog leads.

[-] aleph@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[-] Metype@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I've gotten ads for that thing too. I think it's because Google ads really only knows that you're on social media and little more so it just shoves ads for "social media" at you and then this happens. I think, at least kinda, that it's reassuring seeing ads so disconnected from my usage of the app since it implies little information is being sent to third party advertisers.

Next time I get paid I'll just pay the dev though tbh
