I'm not trying to be rude here, but please read my post. Paying to remove ads is part of the ad business model. Anyone who pays to remove ads means the developer profited from ads.
Sounds good to me. I'll have friends and family watch from the outside so I'll be confident it isn't some kind of ruse.
That would be a good idea too.
Almost all of Syncs business model is ads. The free version has ads and almost everyone who pays for it is doing so to remove ads. Which is just rewarding the implementation of ads. I also disagree with the concept of profiting from free user content with ads like Reddit does. Which was Reddits primary goal of preventing third party apps. They wanted the ad revenue themselves instead of third parties getting the ad revenue.
The only way this can be acceptable is to not have a free ad version and only have a paid version. That way you are paying for software and not paying to remove ads or profiting from free user content.
I believe you can send DMs over the Matrix protocol. I've never looked into it.
No reason in particular. I can't get interested in video games anymore. So I have unintentionally replaced my free time playing video games with reading. If I could manage to get interested in a video game then I would still play it.
When you design a new device from the ground up you make them fit in a way that allows the remaining space to be a single large rectangle to be entirely filled with battery. This might require custom PCB to have some L shapes. If you want to target a specific weight and having that much battery is too heavy then you make the device thinner. Instead it looks like they took pre-existing components from other devices such as Pixel phones or the Google Home and put them in a larger case.
It's not necessarily a problem that this device exists how it is, but that it is a cheap way to go about it and yet still sold at a premium price.
Yes, but at $500 the profit margins are still huge. This is like a $200 tablet being sold for $500. It probably costs $50 to manufacture.
This is what I clicked this thread to say. It doesn't make any sense. There is no official "anonymous" organization so there can't be an official Youtube channel.
Matrix has some Lemmy integration already and perhaps more in the future.
Why are so many things on Ebay even more expensive then what the item would be brand new from the store?
I was searching for a Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto which is $80 brand new in a store, but on Ebay they are anywhere from $100 to $200. Even if it is pre-owned. It seems impossible that anyone is ever going to buy this so what is the purpose of these listings?

I set a ribbon on top of his back and he gave me this look.
Hello everyone. I am working on reviving the /c/battlestations community which I believe has a potential to be popular. 📺 🖥️
Feel free to stop by and share your setup.
Get down from there Fig. 😵💫
It's funny how he sleeps on his back.
Didn't realize it was cats in bags day. 🐈 🛍️
Because the battlestations community is empty thanks to a community squatter I figure this is the next place for this kind of thing.
I had been using a light and flimsy IKEA table for a long time and decided it was time to get some real solid wood. Pretty expensive stuff, but it feels so much better. The tabletop isn't even that big, but it weighs about 70 lbs. Far less likely to move around by getting bumped.
Obligatory cat.
What's mildy infuriating is your attempt to advertise your app here. I have ad blockers, but I kind of suspect this site has ads on it somewhere.
