There’s a general sense of you should try to ethically pirate. Like no one cares if you shoplift from Walmart, but you’re a dick doing it to the local mom and pop grocery store who’s barely getting by.

On a more selfish level, paying for the things you enjoy shows whoever made it they’ll get money for it. Simple as that. If you really enjoy something stealing it isn’t going to convince them to make more. There’s been more than once where a game or show got pirated more than bought legally and it’s killed any future projects for it.

I think it depends what age range you’re dating. It definitely matters more to early 20 yo girls than late 20yo girls in my experience

No lol, two weeks ago I was messaging a girl and she asked if I was using an Android. I was like yeah, it’s a galaxy fold. Which seemed to placate her. I believe there’s like a vibe of if you don’t have an iPhone you’re poor or something lol.

If they’re in the work force some Chad might steal her from me!! Never can she leave the house.

On iPhone if someone without an iPhone texts you it shows up as green. It also disabled a bunch of iphone features you can use since they aren’t on iPhone.

Essentially weird elitism. It’s come up in my dating life.

Long time boost reddit user. Feels natural again. Already bought ad free on principle lol. After the whole Sync for Lemmy price gouge fiasco. Like jesus

Where does one give feedback?

Edit: right off the bat the blur for nsfw needs to be a bit more muddled. I like nsfw and stuff and tend to stick to /all so it shows up often. But the blur isn’t really doing a food job when it’s like just a out of focus naked woman compared to a general sense of shape the other apps ive used hit. There’s no plausible deniability lol. And I just need to see red and the title to know not to click gore stuff

Pretty sure there’s no way to cancel a venmo payment. Once it hits your account it’s there. Idk what 3 day thing you mean.

The only fishy thing with venmo is the “I sent a code” or saying “I sent it” and sending you a fake confirmation. Like unless it’s in your venmo account it’s not there but I don’t think there’s anyway to undo it. Otherwise what good is their service? It’s not like they can do a charge back. That’s why theft on venmo and similar apps is a big deal because they can’t/won’t “undo” it.

This isn’t like getting a direct ach payment/check to your bank or anything.

Nazi: “white power!” Normal people: “hey, stfu!” Cristian Conservatives: “hey I don’t agree with it but let’s hear him out. Some people might agree, his ideas deserve to be discussed and given a platform”

Yeah I wish there was a setting that’s like if it’s released in the last two years just grab it. I always have an issue with my peeps wanting old stuff. Like my uncle was like that and I let his shows auto approve but then he asked for some show from 2019 with 8 seasons and it grabbed like 200gbs of shows in a few hours and I was like “nope, no more”

I don’t think so, but I’ve never had someone do that on the old system. They always want all 16 seasons of some old show lol. Drives me crazy. My brother asks for a show every two weeks and be like where are they? And I’ll respond with the like last 12 shows he asked for with zero watch time from tautilli

Yeah I’ve been trying to cut out the middle man. My family isn’t technically proficient and I found just having it sync straight to Sonarr and Radarr was saving me a step since I always have them open and already have them accessible on my website. Since TV shows was the only thing I don’t have auto approve it just made the decision on letting it search or going out and manually finding a pack happen at the point that matters to me.

But yeah I still have the request site up but thinking of taking it down because I still have some issues pop up and less moving parts is better for me.

It’s also a plus for me because I use NZB360 to manage everything on my phone which is much better with Sonarr and Radarr

Fwiw there’s a new feature in Plex you have to opt into but the Sonarr and Radarr devs figured out how to use it. So you can make it so things people add to their watchlist on Plex get sent to the 'arrs. Like I have it auto add movies and search for them with the typical profile and then add TV shows unmonitored and send me a text message.

Really simplifies everything. Like now my grandma doesn’t have to go to a website and stuff. Since even if you turn off the free TV spam the search function will still return things you don’t have and let you naturally add it to your watchlist and even put it in a recently added bar on the watchlist page when it’s there.

I like it. It’s a pretty strong show from a “what the heck is going to happen” pov. Idk if that’s been exaggerated because I watched it week to week but it is a solid show for sure. Its certainly better than Silo was. I still think For All Mankind is the best show show on Apple TV (Ted Lasso aside lol) though. Foundation is really good but some of the moments that drag REALLY drag. I’d love if it was almost exclusively about Lee Pace and his dynasty lol

I say this as someone who’s chronically watching new shows, I’ve never even heard of this. So that’s probably part of the problem. Like, after a conversation with someone I realized I’m watching like 12 shows week to week. I’m caught up on Hijack and saw Silo.

Point being, the fact I saw no word of mouth or marketing probably makes it obvious to me why whatever this show is failed lol. I was curious if it was good reading the article until it said it ends in a cliffhanger. So no reason to watch lmao

Server owners aren’t doing this for free. They are doing it at cost. Some of them quite a bit. I genuinely can’t see how you can sincerely equate someone paying thousands of dollars a month to host the infrastructure of Lemmy itself as someone designing a CSS theme in their free time for something that wouldn’t exist without the mentioned instance owners. These aren’t the same. And this is the first form of mainstream monetization to hit Lemmy at any level past donations and it’s aggressive. Childish reply. Someone posting content is not spending a dime but them posting that cost the server hosters one.

Yeah this feels like early adopter tax. Get your money off people who don’t blink at stuff like $100 for a beta app for a small reddit that’s literally just a front end.

Then lower the price slowly. Like I feel like there are more Lemmy apps than Reddit ones. It’s pretty gauling to charge so much and essentially take everything from server owners by putting this up front for people trying it from Reddit.

So they need to make all the revenue they made off Sync for Reddit in one week instead of growing with Lemmy over time like they did with Reddit?

What up front costs could there be here? Obviously their time, but no one is arguing it should be free. But making a premium app 10x the cost of any app, let alone their own Reddit version, is a crazy ask.

This is a gold rush through and through. Clearly the dev see’s an open market, ran into it as fast as possible, charging an astronomically high fee, and will likely bring it down to reasonable levels as soon as another app, which there will be, shows up with reasonable pricing.

You click on the icon in the left hand side and it opens up a pop out, and one of the options is remove ads for $20. But then you don’t get sYnC uLtRa features.

YouTube Premium pays for Youtube itself and provides a higher payout to the content creators you watch. If you actually want to support the people you watch on Youtube Premium is the best option for that, premium views pay out sometimes 10x as much as ad revenue on videos. It’s the best way to have a good experience and support the people you watch outside of giving them money directly.

Meanwhile, this is like paying some 3rd party website to scrape Youtube and make sure the people you watch don’t see a penny. Since presumably if one of the servers like Lemmy.World breaks down and adds ad’s to offset the astronomical server fees and growth, Sync would block them, if not they are doing a disservice to people who bought ad free.

Yeah it feels a bit wild to add ads to the experience while charging 5x as much to remove them as the Reddit Synce app on a service that people are hosting on good will and at a loss, compared to Reddit being itself ad filled and a premium selling service.

It’d be different if like some of the subscription went to the servers people use or something. But it really feels like taking from everyone and charging a pretty high price for it compared to any app, let alone a front end only one.
