I'll pay 15x more for Sync if it's Open-Sourced
  • I don't care about it being open source.

    LJD has proven to be an excellent dev, who also listens to his users. He's built to a lot of trust as a result.

    If he sold Sync, then my answer might be different.

  • Kbin account support?
  • Yeah, I'm wondering if I shouldn't get too comfortable setting up with this account, in case I have to move to a direct Lemmy account.

    Whatever Sync works that's where I'll be.

  • Sync for Lemmy is happening
  • Sync was not only my favourite Reddit app, it was probably my favourite app.

    Its UI was so usable that I found myself using the same gestures and taps to navigate through other apps and being disappointed when that didn't work.

    It was that good.

    Bring it on!

  • [rant] Why is this so hard for people?
  • I don't properly understand how all of this works.

    But signing up to kbin on the weekend was just like signing up for anything else online.

    And once I did, replying to posts - like this one - was more or less the same as replying on any other discussion forum.

    So....I don't get it, what's so hard? Do you really need to understand the technical details underneath to start using this place?

    That said, I would like to grasp this whole thing a little better. But I figured the best way to do that is to jump straight in and go from there! :)

  • Battery Saver Mode - S23 Ultra

    Battery Saver Mode - S23 Ultra

    I recently unexpectedly got stuck without my charger for 3 days.

    When I realised that would be the case towards the end of day 1, I put the phone into battery saver mode. It lasted me those 3 days until I got to my charger again.

    But here's the thing, I didn't notice any practical difference in how the phone ran. It was still super fast/smooth. The only noticeable thing was it connected to 4G instead of 5G. But around here I'm averaging 200/20 up/down in 4G speeds, so I can't notice any real difference using the phone.

    So two weeks later, I still haven't switched battery saver off! I only need to charge every 2 to 3 days and it never gets below about 25%.

    Has anyone else used this? Do you actually notice any difference in usability?

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra passed through FCC, signaling nearing launch
  • I'm tempted to have a look at this.

    I have an iPad pro with the M1 chip. It's super capable in terms of specs and yet I find myself able to do things on my S23 Ultra that I can't with the iPad. Why does my phone feel closer to a laptop replacement than my tablet!?

    It's frustrating at times. Simple things like the file system for example really annoy me.

    It's like the hardware is really held back by the software. If iPad OS doesn't improve massively soon, I'm selling it and going all Samsung.

  • The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂
  • Yes, it does feel a bit like that!

    I first experienced the "world wide web" in 1995. I'm not saying it's exactly like that, but in some way kbin reminds me of earlier simpler times on the web. I've only been on here for two days.

    Best way I can describe it: really feels like the start of something.

  • YSK that kbin.social is now federating, adding hundreds of communities and ~26k more users content - Lemmy.world
  • Now that Sync for Reddit is being discontinued I'm dropping Reddit.

    I saw a good write-up about kbin, so I signed up about a day ago and have been liking what I see - although it's obviously still in its early stages.

    I don't know much about Lemmy and Federation, but is it a bit like the Newsgroups of old (Usenet), where you joined a Usenet service and any posts on any service propagated across all servers?
