  Star Trek is the only reason I’m paying for Paramount+.

  If Lower Decks and/or SNW go, I go.

  Chuckles. I’m in danger immensely grateful to the glorious Chinese Communist party for graciously offering me this tremendous opportunity.

  I’m absolutely thrilled to have sync on the Fediverse, and will happily pay for a yearly subscription to help ensure LJD has sufficient compensation to keep the app up-to-date with whatever changes come to the Android/Lemmy APIs years down the road.

  The problem with (even excellent) free apps for platforms like this, is they require consistent maintenance to keep up with both the platform they run on (Android), and the platform they serve content for (Lemmy). That is not a trivial amount of work, and is absolutely deserving of continued, recurring compensation IMO.

  A one-time payment might make sense for a simple native game that gets produced once, has no web component, and never needs another update for its entire lifetime, but not for this. You aren’t paying for a singular product, you’re paying for a service. You wouldn’t go to the barber and winged about needing to pay every time I get my hair cut.

  No, but there are copyleft licenses that require anyone using a fork of some open-source project for for-profit purposes to subsequently open-source any changes they make.

  Honestly I’m using, and especially posting on, Lemmy much more often now that I have sync back.

  I had been using Sync for Reddit for so many years that it became muscle memory. Now I have it back and things just feel right.
