I use TwinkleTray on my gaming setup. It adds an icon to your tray that will popup with sliders for adjusting brightness on your monitors. The monitors respond very quickly! Eliminates having to go into the menus on the physical monitor to adjust brightness.

We need to download more RAM

I copied this from another comment of mine. My advice is just give it a shot! The set up is super quick and the app just works.

For features: incredibly customizable material design. Extremely fluid. A lot of view customization. Comment drafts are something I missed on voyager.

Paid exclusive features: Cloud backups, user specific highlighting and theming, pull text from images, translate text, saved post folders (coming soon). No ads (yes the other apps don't have ads and are generally free).

Echoing the other comment, I came from reddit and Sync was the only way I knew that site. Used Sync for about 7 years. I like LJ as a dev, I appreciate the way he interacts with the community, and I love the app. For me it's a no-brainer to give him support because I use his product as much as I do.

I feel your pain! Sorting by Top 6 Hours is my current go to, mostly because I only scroll every few hours or so. Additionally, I start by scrolling through "Home" then transition to "All" if I feel like it. If you use the voyager app, there's a new function to hide read posts, which could be helpful to you, as well!

I prefer SwiftKey. Been using it since 2011 or so. I tried gboard and it's... Fine? I mainly use SwiftKey for a few reasons:

  • I prefer the minimal theme that I'm using.
  • I've used it forever
  • I like the way it handles gifs and emojis
  • Swiping for punctuation is extremely quick. I dislike having to hold it on other keyboards.

I saw a post somewhere saying that changing 1 letter can prevent it from being searched for by people who just want to troll posts with that particular word

Lj said "it's picking up steam, but still a way off."

If we go based on the original timeline, maybe a month?

I really enjoy the content on lemmy compared to r/. I think the loss of moderation tools over there has made a bunch of crap float to the top. Here it feels more authentic, I guess?

Just a heads up: Humble Bundle posts in like an hour. I'm waiting for that drop so I can make sure I don't overspend lol.

-Outer Wilds and Return of the Obra Dinn are must plays. About $27

-Definitely recommend the spiderman games.

-I'm looking at a game called Cloudbuilt. It's $7. This review is selling me "If Mirrors Edge and Sonic decided that they wanted to have a baby but then megaman x was upset cause he always wanted to have a baby with mirrors edge so he inserted nano machines to make the baby a bit more like him this game is what you would end up with!"

I'll start with maybe I just don't know enough about open source. I do understand that the code is available and people can see it, make suggestions or adjustments, or essentially make their own thing using some or all of the code. I'm all for sharing things as necessary and learning from others when possible. With this though, I personally am on the side of: I trust ljdawson to do what's best for this app. I am on the sync train because of him the incredible app he made, and how he leads and interacts with the sync community.

I've been using Sync for about 7 years and I've always thought Ljdawson is very active with the Sync community and (from my experience) has been pretty receptive to feedback on his app. When the material you version of Sync came out, people didn't like it so he made it so you can choose between the material you look or the old look. There are tons of customization options. I feel very informed with each update as well as what his next plans are. There are paid features that both support him as a dev and the longevity of the app. He puts a lot of time and care into creating the product we get to use and for me that is more important than being able to access the source code.

I understand the worry for sure. My gut says that stems from the current situation at reddit, but I personally don't think the answer is sync going to open source. If something crazy happens with sync, there are (currently) other options.
