In this day and age it’s more likely that you don’t have voice minutes or SMS quota remaining than you not having internet access.

Exactly 8 upvotes to your comment… Let’s leave it that way.

Hard disagree. iOS UI/UX is sub par compared to Android. Consistent visuals and fancier animations don’t mean that the UI is good.

Non-competes are illegal in California and should be illegal everywhere else too.

Thanks a lot! You’re the best. 🤘🏻

Any plans to bring the previous hide posts behaviour where the hidden posts reappeared upon refresh? The new behaviour has ruined Sync for me and many other users.

Yeahhhh. The current behavior is not how I use the hidden posts feature. It was perfect before and now it’s ruined how I use the feature.

Second this

nobs

This made me laugh more than it should’ve.

UI/UX designer here. Wouldn’t mind spending a couple hours of my free time designing a better interface for you. Would be a fun project.

Super reasonable pricing in Sri Lanka. Will upgrade to Ultra Lifetime once (or if) you localise that. Keep being amazing and doing amazing work LJ! You rock.

Sri Lanka, please. And thank you for your hard work. Seeing your Sync for Lemmy announcement in-app in Sync for Reddit is the reason I joined Lemmy.

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.

ITT, bunch of people who have never used Sync for Reddit whining about Sync Ultra and the app having ads. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Chill, mate, it’s open-beta. Sync Ultra was a thing on Sync for Reddit as well, which comes with features that need constant cash such as server maintenance etc. IAP for ad removal will come soon.

IAP for ad removal will come soon. It’s the first open-beta, give it some time.

The screen protector is mainly there because the inner-screen is either plastic or Ultra Thin Glass™, which makes the inner-screen extremely brittle, despite it being almost always covered.

Reminds me of the olden days of r/Android where threads like this were a blast!

What phone are you using?

Following in the footsteps of Captain2Phones, I am simultaneously using a Google Pixel 6a and a OnePlus 7 Pro.

Are you happy with it? What are its best and worst qualities?

Pixel 6a is the best phone I’ve ever used, including flagship iPhones. I love the camera bar design and the whole look of the phone’s rear while I don’t particularly like the chunky bezels and the hole punch. I have been spoilt by the fantastic uninterrupted curved display (yes, you read it right. I like curved screens) of the OnePlus 7 Pro. It’s smooth and the cameras are great. I love the animations and the overall look of Material You. It’s a really good phone.

As for the OnePlus 7 Pro, it was the best phone I had ever used until they ruined it all with their subpar software updates which made the phone literally a chore to use. I still use it and like it, but the experience it heavily marred by the atrocious software experience of the new OS which is nothing like OxygenOS.

Which phones have you had previously? Which were the best and worst of the lot?

Have had flagship iPhones for several years until I got the OnePlus 7 Pro. The Pixel has to be the best phone, a shitter Micromax that I had a decade ago has to be the worst.

How often do you upgrade to a new phone?

Every 2/3 years.

What other Android ecosystem devices do you have? Watches, headphones/earbuds, etc.

Not a big fan of smartwatches. Well, a big fan of the smartwatch tech, but not a big fan of wearing one over a traditional watch. Have several fitness bands made by Android OEMs (though none of them run Android) and several true-wireless earphones and headphones by Anker and Soundpeats that I use with my Android devices as well as my Windows devices.

Do you also use any Apple products, or are you Android all the way? (And/or Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, etc.)

Not at the moment. But my next computer will be an MX Macbook Pro.

Signed up for Lemmy just because you’re developing an app for it @ljdawson. Can’t wait.
