Post launch day chat

Splurging $20 on a Lemmy app with my country's currency devaluation is not going to work for me. Nothing against you or the app, the app is amazing and leagues ahead of the competition. But I'm not even sure if Lemmy will be the replacement for Reddit and how it'll all pan out after the hype wears off, so I'm going to wait for regional pricing for this one.

Hamilton and Leclerc disqualified from USGP

Reply in thread

to disqualify 2 of the top cars just like this after the race kinda undoes the whole story of the race.

They can't check for plank wear before the race 😅

Additionally, if 2 out of 4 cars fail the test, maybe it's good to test all of them.

It's a random spot check. Not something that would be done to the entire grid. It's literally practically impossible to check for every rule on every car after or during every race, which is why random spot checks exist.

Mastodon is Rewinding the Clock on Social Media — in a Good Way

That isn't a good justification to me.

You want developers who spent years studying design and development, to spend months developing an app, to just give that app away for free?

People like you are why more and more developers join big corporations for salaried position rather than trying to make it by themselves in the indie scene. Because they know they can't make it in the indie scene because you are too cheap to pay for their apps (either by buying the app, or by consenting to see ads)

If your app can't exist without ads then I don't believe it should exist at all.

Sync for Lemmy exists as a paid, ad-free version. The ad-supported version only exists for people who don't want to, or can't, buy the app.
