Is google play required for the app to function, or would sideloading the apk from a mirror site work?

Tachiyomi for manga reading

I use sync, but I think they still should be FOSS, or at least open source. Just because when anything gets left behind or never fixed, you can take it and patch it up yourself. That includes clients too, lots of good clients that get left behind because Dev stopped and whatever they were interfacing with changed.

Sync has a lifetime ad free option. That removes the Google tracking as well, since it’s tied to ads. Subscription it for extra features you probably dont need. Based on comments about reddit sync, it also doesn’t track usage statistics. But that is mostly a guess from my side.

The price is a steep 20 USD, but the app is new and the Dev is well known. You also know what you are getting if you have used Sync before.

It’s just how many of us are used to things. Particularly the collapsed comments along with rainbow colors depending on the nested comments. I’m sure one of those has it, but Sync has all my patterns. And it was as simple as importing my sync for reddit config to get all my options as they were. Worthwhile wait, and I don’t mind supporting a Dev. Especially when there is a one time ad-free payment option, which is all I need.

Using web, going back always put the feed active, despite me changing the sort. So yeah, having the app back is good. And I got all my use patterns back!

Love it.

Some replies to a reply are showing up in the wrong place. Might be a bug, might be because I imported settings from old sync to save myself the trouble of configuring the application anew. Worked like a charm though.

I have a question, can I pin a instance in the feeds? Eg I have a lemmy.world account. Right now it shows me Everything, Local, and Subscribed. But I do want to see everything in programming.devs main page. It’s like an everything for programming, so I see that as a valid use case.

Also not a researcher, but I also believe hallucinations are simply the artifact of being able generate responses that aren’t pure reproduction of training data. Aka, the generalization we want. The problem is we have something that generalize without the ability to judge what it thinks of.

It will in my opinion never go away, but I’m sure it can be improved significantly.

Granted I only see the cherry picked statements in the post, but these things do not speak from a place of neutrality or at the very least openness. When all those things being bad is stated as close to fact, and them being against western propaganda,. They seem, to me, much less like a place that wants no propaganda and discussion of world organizations, and instead it sounds like a place that wants all of it gone and no place for western/left supportive discussion (which can be labeled propaganda, which may be a negative outlook on my side but any other site saying they do not want propaganda of one side usually isn’t very happy about arguments in favor of said side even when said thing is a fact or at least relevant to the discussion)

There were also comments very much critical of federation here because of some political joke posts. If shit post tier jokes on political figures aren’t ok things will work out. because it’s a Chinese communist it’s about, I’m also extremely sceptical of ho well.

With that said, I’m not completely against the federation, but it would require the mods to be vigilant and see if the federation doesn’t harm the general community over time. That might be a lot to ask for, since I do not know how much time and effort they already put into this already.

Doesn’t seem completely impossible with the estimated storage capacity, but like with all of these things, drastically changing the build up of concrete means changing the properties of the very thing used to hold your home together.

It might be cheap materials, but the effort involved also seem very high having to cut up after the hardening to create the super capacitors. Which again may affect structural integrity.

Imagine having set up keybind for our mouse, ND then the game updates and creates a new executable or two somewhere else, and no matter what you do, it never recognizes the game ever again. So no more keybind, and the only way to fix would be to set up a profile and disabled the auto switch running all other games and profiles you have…

That’s my experience with ghub, otherwise apart from clunky unintuitive ui, it at least worked.

(the game is rainbow six siege by the way, haven’t been able to use a profile in that game all year. Part of the blame is naturally that siege does things very shitty when you can include like 5 different executables that are run)

There is a small yes, but not for that big of a gap. There is some minimal advantage, which is if the framerate goes above that of a screen(even at 30 fps caps, you might hit 31 occasionally depending on how it’s limited), you get screen tearing. Screen tearing is where new and old frame overlap causing the image to tear. VSYNC and other tech avoids this, but comes at a cost of a small delay in framerate.

So the solution is simply to cap framerate either to a divisible part of the framerate, eg. 30 fps for 60 Hz screens, 60 fps for 120 Hz. You want divisible because if you create 35 fps, the frames will not be done at the same time as the screen is with showing a frame. Thus the need to have it semi matched up.

But this is a rather big loss for a good screen, so you’d like to just cap fps to a few frames below the screen Hz. Modern technologies deal with that by talking better with the screen, so the screen shows a frame until given a next one. GSYNC and FreeSync are the ones that allow variable framerate without needing to match screen Hz and FPS. (There are some limitations, particularly they can be limited to some framerate ranges iirc, and if you go above screen refresh rate you’ll still have either screen tearing or VSYNC kick in with that extra delay.)

They could make it paid only today, and it’d be instantly profitable. Most free users would transition to a free alternative, but the corporate world would easily pay for use. So would some power users. But I’m sure they are making good money with all the API use anyways, the free access is a cheap way to get mass testing and training data.

I’d expect a “Ultra-tier” fast charging station to have internal batteries (or perhaps supercapacitors or something like that) which buffer up from the grid. Eg. when not in use and over-night. Probably won’t last much into a day even with that, but we may see smaller buildings connected to charging stations that hold internal batteries to deliver faster charging than the connected grid can deliver.

As long as there is demand and profit to be made, it could happen. The biggest cost is of course the batteries, but if solid-state batteries turn into reality I think things might be more cost effective. Especially since fixed position batteries aren’t subject to the same contraints as car batteries. Don’t need to handle vibration, weight is not a big problem. Key goals are lifetime value, energy density + and (dis)charging rates.

Cheaper electricity during night might not be a thing everywhere or in the future, but small savings by stocking up cheaper during nighttime, gives better margins.

I’ve heard about it, definitely planning to use it if it does come around. But I’m not even sure if Lemmy is going to replace reddit for my “daily driving” yet. The dust hasn’t settled yet, there were so many things reddit did that I’m not sure what the future holds. Lemmy is the only option right now however.

It used to be Sync for Reddit, Tachiyomi (Manga reader), and Vivaldi (Web browser, formerly Chrome but I needed adblock)

Replacement for Sync is not found.

Trust is pretty much impossible to earn, particularly after acting awful to the app developers. All the lies to and about the Apollo dev, the impossible deadlines, the high pricing. It’s clear they just wanted to fuck them over.

Worst thing is, if they wanted the money, they could easily have asked for Gold for using 3rd party apps with your account, and developers would see no change, and 3rd party app users could choose if they wanted to go to main app for free or stick with better options.

But now they burned all the bridges.
