This thread should be renamed to 101 reasons why business give Windows or Macs to their employees.

You’re buying… A temporary permission to access certain content.

If you paid for it on Play Store and the app gets pulled from there, you won’t be able to download it again.

Kids that age certainly know how to use a lot of apps, but only in the walled gardens these apps allow them. It’s going to be generations of kids only exposed to very curated experiences that companies what them to know.

Tree fiddy.

Win+D minimizes everything to show the desktop. Press Win+D again to go back to your apps as they were before.

A lot of those behaviors are added by the design/devs because they expect you to use a mouse on the web apps. But for android apps it’s just assumed that everyone will use touch. Sometimes I’ve seen UXs achieve this behavior with a long tap, but that takes away the “right-click” behavior.

Esper Foundation is based on Android 11 and has customizable branding, peripheral compatibility, quarterly security patches, and three years of support.

3 years worth of support on an OS that’s already 3 years outdated. Meanwhile my PC from 2010 running Windows 10 still gets updates and can easily be updated/serviced with off the shelf parts to keep it going. I guess I’ll pass on this one.

It’s a problem if big corp doesn’t support linux. It’s a problem if big corp supports linux.

Yes! Thank you so much!! It’s beautiful this app has the feature I wanted already available 🤗

I can only find an option to block the community, not the instance. Blocking|hiding communities individually is tedious when you’re trying to personalize your feed

It would be super helpful if we can hide entire instances from showing up at an individual level. For e.g. I see a lot of posts from feddit.de - I don’t have anything bad against the server or the users, but the posts there add no value to my experience and fill up my feed with content I’ll simply not understand. It would be a better UX to be able to hide these without having the home instance and other users on it be affected by your preference.

If Lemmy doesn’t have push notifications, would this be bad for battery if enabled?

Check the price for Sync for Lemmy again, maybe you get lucky - they are tweaking it regionally now - the price for me changed to 1/10th of the original ask.

It is possible that a significant amount is spam or something else, but I do find myself using Lemmy much more now that Sync is available.

The only problem with the prices is it’s not yet targeted for regional value. In my country the cost to remove ads is a very fine dinner, not a couple of coffees.
