Recently picked up the Kingsenton Slimblade Pro. Love it.

Yeah Barbie is played by this really good actress! Looking forward to seeing her in more stuff!

 

This would lead to some very large cost savings if AI could compress video/audio even better than current compression algorithms. Data borders unite!

Any possibility of them releasing a gesture typing library with this? I can't seem to find one in the wild.

There is no need for an actual installed adblocker. You can simply change system wide DNS to black ads. You can really use any DNS you choose, but I'd suggest mullvads DNS.

Look for "private DNS" on your phone, or switch it on your browser if on desktop.

Okay let's do the math. According to here there is expected to be about 55.79 million folks using reddit daily. Let's say a good 5 million folks use Sync. Now, reddit said it would charge $0.24 per 1000 API calls. You can find that here. Now 1000 calls isn't much at all really. Let's say those 5 million folks just 1000 API calls a day ( they wont' actually use ONLY 1000 ). So we have 1000 * 5,000,000 * 0.24 = $1,200,000,000. That's per day. Does that seem sustainable to you? Like if folks were using MUCH MUCH less I could see your point. But the fact is....they weren't and reddit were being assholes about it. Now compare that to what he's charging. $17 bucks for a year. Let's break that down and compare it to what he'd be paying per day. Say all 5 million users were paying for Ultra. That's 5,000,000 * 17 = $85,000,000. Divide that by 12 to get per month. 85,000,000/12 = $7,083,333 per month. Divide by 30 for average revenue per day. $7,083,333/30 = $236,111. Now tell me that even comes close to $1,200,000,000. Your logic is flawed. This doesn't even account for fees and possible server costs.

Holy shit y'all. Developers need to eat too. It's totally fine to charge for an app or serve ads. LjDawson is a fantastic developer and really listens to his user base. Yes there are plenty of open source apps to use, but sometimes closed source is way more polished because the developer makes it their job to create the app. Living isn't free. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly I'd rather have a smaller community to interact with. Less bullshit that way.

 

So say I make an account on lemmy.world and post a bunch of stupid comments around other instances then decide to delete my account because I'm ashamed of them. After I delete my account, a copy of all those comments I made on other instances remain on those instances as a "shadow copy." There isn't any way to actually delete them all. The copies of the comments/posts on your home instance will be deleted

tldr: Don't say stupid shit on other instances you'll regret later! They never leave that instance!

Why YSK: so you can think carefully about what to comment and post.
