Thanks. I might look into the endless things from 2+ years ago that are on sale now. Probably not though. Too many books to read. 😵💫

Being a patient gamer isn’t strictly about money. It’s about not getting caught up in hype and making more calculated decisions. Even so, wanting to pay what you think something is worth is just good practice.
I’ll let you know in 2 years when it is on sale for at least 50% off.
I concur with most everyone else on going to a vet. It’s usually a sign of being in pain. Possibly from a urinary tract infection or the like. Hopefully resolved by something simple like antibiotics.
Those are some nice stairs. 👀
Fig is actually an old man and too gentle to ever kill any birds or squirrels.
The fact that there is an ad version at all as a UI front end to an ad free FOSS back-end is a bit shameful. People buy it because they want to get rid of the ads. If they just sold the software with no free with ad version then they would be acceptable.
It’s not about the cost. It’s the principle of the matter.
I’ve tried almost all of them and shockingly Jerboa seems the best despite being the first as far as I’m aware.
Sync comes in last for having ads unfortunately. Or basically just disqualified.

The scale of the in-game universe is quite vast. Beautiful game too.
This is a breath of fresh air and has convinced me to get this game.
So you are ok with ads and paid subscriptions to remove them, but you aren’t ok with Reddit charging for access to its API? How do you reconcile the contradiction here? Reddit developers have to eat too. They are just a business trying to make money. What if Lemmy instances started charging for its API and priced out third party apps then added ads/subscription to their own app? All just part of the cycle?
Part of the purpose of moving from Reddit to Lemmy is that a for profit corporation making money off of the free content of users was considered bad. I might even say this was the main point of contention and thought that spawned the creation of Lemmy. A free open platform where the users are more in control of their own content. Adding ads back into the mix means that somebody is profiting again off of the free content of the users. On principal this goes against the purpose of Lemmy. You may as well just use Reddit as the end goal of monetizing the fediverse is basically going to end up the same.
So for Sync to not be against the spirit of Lemmy it would need to remove its free version with ads so that the only thing you are paying for is the app itself and not for the content without ads.
I think you are missing the problem here. Paying for a good product or extra features is one thing. Paying to remove the ads that you added in the first place is another. Lemmy is funded entirely by donations and doesn’t have any ads.
It’s a pretty bad look that is fundamentally against the goals of Lemmy as ad free an open platform with a free API. Otherwise we are going to go down the same rabbit hole again and again like what happened with Reddit.
I played Destiny 2 when it came out, but then they kept releasing more and more DLC and expansions I didn’t feel like buying for how little content there was. My plan was to simply wait until the entirety of the game was released so I could buy the rest of everything in a single purchase and play it all.
I think I heard recently they have been actually removing old content so this plan no longer makes sense.
But how many people have escaped the influence of Earths gravity altogether? None?
Between the legs must be a supremely comfortable spot for a cat.
