What gives DENTISTS feelings of power? Shaming non FLOSS users.

I was using Jerboa up until now and am now using Sync because I used it for Reddit.

....and that's it. I don't understand why this gets so much talk. There are so many options. Just use something. We all want Lemmy to grow so I don't see the problem.

I never thought I'd be in an environment where FOSS user is the majority demographic.

We should probably start emailing all the Lemmy devs, client devs, etc. and shaming them for using GitHub since it's not open source and open source options for source control are available. /s

Reminds me of the persecution complex people have about vegans. Like, they're actually right and you kind of have your head up your ass.

I'm a sync ultra user. My sense of superiority is only eclipsed by my ignorance of what FOSS stood for. But seriously use what you like. I just want lemmy to grow.

Jerboa was really not good

My... Friend... Wanted to know where he can download foss because he couldn't find it in the Google app store ..

But have you tried Jerboa...

on weed?

Unless you're an independently wealthy jackass, I'm not sure how you can attack non-FOSS software users. I am a software engineer and I get paid to write software. I write some code for fun at home too and if people use any of my projects Im delighted. But if you want bug fixes and reliability and consistent new features and updates to apis and I have to listen to your bullshit complaints about how XYZ is better, you bet your ass I'm gonna charge for that.

It's like a baker making bread who gives out a few loaves for free at first. You don't get to complain if 100s of people show up demanding free bread and he starts charging them. Maybe communism is a system that demands people work for free, but elsewhere you're entitled to whatever wage the market will bear.

I've been a Lemmy about 2 weeks and I'm practically radicalized for FOSS. I'm about to custom install Arch Linux and burn a Sync user at the stake.

Oh no more ways to enjoy the fediverse. Oh no the thousands of users of sync for reddit might come here now oh no this is a disaster!

I like Free Open Socialist Software

Jerboa users would find this very funny, if they could see it.

Can we talk about something else

Been using jerboa since it dropped, was using lemmur before that and jerboa is definitely brtter. Waiting on infinity though.

I had been using Liftoff and am now trying out Voyager and Sync.

So far Sync is winning me over.

I've been using liftoff to pretty good results

This is all sounding a bit insular. I'm happy with the tech stuff but let's not turn the entire site into a discussion about a specific app or two.

Listen I love the Foss apps, but sync is so fucking good. I use multiple apps for different reasons, I did the same with reddit. I just really missed sync.

As long as FOSS and paid versions of something can exist at the same time and the paid thing is actively trying to push out the FOSS stuff, I have no issue with a paid option.

Voyager for me (previous name was wefwef). Works like a charm.

I'm switching between Connect, Infinity and will try Sync. I'm waiting for Boost, and hoping that developer/s of Joey will make client for Lemmy

True tho

Can I ask, what the heck is FOSS?

I'm using Sync for lemmy

edit: I tried it these days and I don't like it, I'm switching back to the webapp

Tried Jerboa... wasn't a huge fan, now I'm using Connect
