Oh absolutely! I wouldn’t trust them with anything mission critical but for little projects here and there they’re absolutely amazing.
I’d recommend racknerd. Their black Friday pricing is available year round and they have super good annual pricing on some of their VPS options https://www.racknerd.com/BlackFriday/
This right here. If you block ads you’re literally worth less than nothing to them and they couldn’t care less where you go. You’re just a bandwidth leech. I use uBlock, but have some self awareness.
I didn’t buy a pixel 4 because it was Google’s first attempt at face unlock. Decided to spice things up and get an iPhone for a change. FaceID is fanfuckingtadtic and I’m sad that my pixel 7 doesn’t have proper face unlock.
Imo: rear mounted fingerprint sensor > proper face unlock > under screen fingerprint.
Pixel 7, Firefox. 🔥🦊
People were far more upset at the one time fee to remove ads being 30$. The monthly subscriptions include extra features. I used sync with an adblock so I never saw the ads anyway. I wouldn’t have seen them on boost either but it’s the principle behind it.
I’ve legit already “boosted the rocket” in Boost for Lemmy. My issue with Sync was the fucking audacity to ask for 30$. My google opinion rewards will slowly funnel their way into rocket fuel out of mere respect for him being humble.
Oh BEYOND out of their minds. Sync is certainly a great app. But like, I can buy a game for what they wanted. I was a Boost user on Reddit, had that labour of love feel to it.
After the astronomical pricing debacle with Sync for Lemmy… I instantly bought Boost ad free! Thanks @rmayayo@lemmy.world <3 Loved Boost for Reddit and I’m excited to keep using your app for Lemmy!
I’m getting real sick of this lawsuit crap regarding AI. Precedent case law already says you can’t copyright work produced by AI. So what exactly did it fucking steal, and how does it negatively impact them?? Imo, it doesn’t.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves about YouTube.
Google has supposedly started cracking down on apps like that. They don’t want duplicates of the same apps anymore so it’s likely to remain IAP only.
Fuck it, imma just drink molten rock.

Personally I was a Boost fan and I’m excited for its release for lemmy. But I’m using sync in the meantime and absolutely loving it. There’s a smoothness to this app, a refinement if you will that I couldn’t find on any of the other apps. The level of customization to make my feed my own.
The Lemmy userbase is so small by comparison to reddit. I don’t like subscriptions or ads but my god man’s gotta eat. People get butthurt way too easily over this stuff.
First order of businesses.
Yup, feels much better giving small devs monthly income vs some filthy corporation that forked their content from another platform to ask for more money.
I agree with almost everything you said. I’m not referring to services like Netflix as owning. More specifically the recent debacle with Sony removing access to PURCHASED content. I would happily buy my movies and TV shows on something like Google play movies or Apple TV. My issue is I can’t trust any of these corps not to pull the rug out from under me. Their track record says they will. It’s a question of when not if. We need a streaming equivalent of Spotify for TV and movies. Obviously it would be much more expensive than Spotify, but I would happily pay for the convenience of having anything I want as much as I want on one platform/interface. Streaming sucks right now where libraries are spread across platforms with varying interfaces, bitrate etc. shit just sucks lol
