The Last Jedi.

I left the theater on opening night thrilled with what I saw. I couldn't wait to go online and read all the positive reactions and theories for the next one... Whelp.

Megalodon. It's a fork of the official app with added features.

Sync for Lemmy. 🤷

[–] Gur814@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I've donated to Lemmy, Beehaw, and Mastodon and came here because Reddit killed Sync. Lemmy is full of gatekeepers and it's bringing the platform down. Half the posts are whining about reddit and the other half are whining because someone doesn't adhere to the perfect open source ethos and shun anything not completely free. It's getting tiring. No wonder Lemmy's active user count is decreasing.

I haven't used them in a few years and found them a lot worse than Chrome at the time. I'll have to give them a try at work this week so I can hopefully fully switch over.

How are the developer tools lately? That's the only thing keeping me on Chrome at work. Otherwise, I'm using Firefox on my phone and personal computer.

What? I'm a software engineer (a so-called "professional") at a major corporation and we get the choice between Windows and Mac. Every single person I know in the company has chosen Mac.

Kotlin is definitely worth learning as a Java dev. It's a wonderful language and plays nice with prior Java knowledge.

Alternate headline: Reddit CEO Steve Huffman attempts to gaslight the entire world.

I donated the other day and I'm glad to see the user base here so willing to support the project!

If we want these places to succeed, we need to be willing to pay for them. It's the only way to keep things running ad and data collection free.

I would have been happy paying Reddit to keep 3rd party app access... But they clearly think my data is worth more than a direct monthly fee. So I'll give them neither and hang out here instead.

Fool me once. Shame on Digg. Fool me twice. Shame on Reddit.

Agreed. To help prevent this we should all send at least a few bucks a month to keep this project running.
