Made my second on the Swedish instance. Enjoying it immensely right away.

Sweden. And please double check the regional Ultra prices when you have the time, they seem way off to me.

Smaller userbase of nearly 30 000 users in 24 hours. Sync will be huge!

I’m gladly paying. Just not 117 dollars for the experience to be ad free which is what the app wants me to pay in Swedish kronor.

You are 100% correct. I just went off of my own view and what is good and not where I live.

This is insane to me. You can live in so many other countries with as high, or higher living standards and live the good life with that money.

Nope. Yearly. But I used the pricing for me, in Sweden. Seems the conversion rate is a bit off. Because my price is 19 dollars per year and the price for Lifetime is at 117 dollars.

No app is worth that, sorry.

15 bucks? So the conversion rate to Swedish kronor is messed up then. Because my yearly fee is way more than that. If I earned 42k dollars and continued to live in my house with my family we would be insanely well off.

This is by far the best app for Lemmy. By a mile. It’s a lot faster and nicer looking. That said, pricing feels a little steep. Imagine being able to sustain your livelihood on making an app for Lemmy, an otherwise free service providing no additional content. It’s not like we are paying the persons who invest in all the infrastructure for the servers running the Lemmy instances. They provide for the actual service. If a part of the money went to instance servers it would feel way better. Because if they go down, so will Sync.

Not taking anything away from the massive work Lj is putting into this, but pricing do feel a tad off. If 1500 people subscribe he has a yearly income equal to a decent job. If he gets 5000 subs he will earn almost 100 000 dollars a year. Which in Sweden equals to about 2.5 times of a well paid job. That’s excluding ad revenue from everyone who don’t subscribe or pay for removing ads. Pricing can be fairer without compromising the livelihood of said dev. That’s all.

Can’t imagine he can handle all refunds for that reason. He won’t have time to work on the app.

I’m right with you. Sync was the only reason I even started using Reddit. I happily paid the onetime fee and I’m more than happy to do it again. If the sub actually covered costs to keep Lemmy-instances running it would be one thing but that’s not the case now. Let’s see how it all paves out.

Maybe even more!

Doesn’t have to be the most expensive app I’ve ever bought though. While also collecting and selling data. Right? Don’t get me wrong, I love Sync. I just feel it went a bit overboard.

Yeah he should be able to get a decent amount in the pocket for the huge work he is putting in.

Great mention! Will save and watch later!

Using Voyager and the devs have been more than awesome. I don’t encounter any bugs on Android. Still gonna throw my money at Sync when it arrives though. Sync was the only reason I even used reddit. A bit wierd but before I stumbled on the Sync I couldn’t even stand reddit. I was a Sync user, not a reddit user.

All I did: Add installer as Steam Game. Press play to install. Add launcher as Steam Game. Press play to open the b.net client and install w/e game you intend to. In both cases also force use of proton experimental or else it won’t start.

Did you get the b.net installer and launcher mixed up? I did the same uphrade just 3 days ago, 1tb upgrade from 64gb. Diablo works fine for me from the new ssd. On my old 64gb I got them mixed up once and it was a headache to sort out.

I bought the same. It’s perfect.

You are fine for now. You will notice when storage starts to run out. Most important thing right now is understanding how everything works on Linux and the Deck specifically. How it handles shaders, why storage runs out even if you dont have games on the internal storage, etc.

Start looking into som videos about the deck. Download cryo utilities and follow that setup, you learn a lot and speed your Deck up while at it. Only suggestion coming from a fellow 64gb user is to not use more than maybe 8gb of storage for the extra “ram” you can create. You will run out of space. And don’t install any games directly on the Deck whatsoever. Only use that external storage.

When, or if, you start to run out. A 1tb sd instead of your 128gb could be the easiest option and requires 0 tinkering. I swapped the internal storage myself just about 3 days ago and it was super easy. But just getting a 1tb sd is probably best for most people anyway.

Welcome to the gang. Enjoy. Your purchase was a great one.
