I was looking forward to trying Sync today now that it’s live, but my enthusiasm was immediately dampened after seeing the “Data Safety” section on the Google Play store.
Liftoff has been great, and want to say thanks for making an awesome app. This will continue to be my daily driver.
Edit: for clarity, because the post got way bigger than I expected.
Sync looks like a fantastic app, and the dev/s should charge whatever they feel is fair for their efforts, even if that’s through the usual ads + ad tracking.
My intent was just to post here in /c/Liftoff to thank the Liftoff devs for managing to somehow offer an awesome app without any of that.
People that diss open source are dumbass dipshits. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Open source software runs most of the Internet and this social media platform. It has provide more value to every one of us than any closed source retail software ever could.
And yes I do care about privacy. I only run de-googled AOSP phones and my home network has pi-hole and a VPN. So I will go on and on about how FOSS is better, thank you very much.
Exactly where did I diss open source? Did you read my comment, or just jump to the reply button?
I copied and pasted my own comment from another thread, because I thought it was still good haha. Maybe it doesn’t apply perfectly but I think the sentiment is relevant.
At least you were 💯 about it which is a rare thing to see
Agreed.
