  • I use TwinkleTray on my gaming setup. It adds an icon to your tray that will popup with sliders for adjusting brightness on your monitors. The monitors respond very quickly! Eliminates having to go into the menus on the physical monitor to adjust brightness.

  • What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?
  • For anyone reading this, I definitely recommend Earasers. I have spent the better part of my life around really loud music things, especially because of my job. These things work wonders and are incredibly comfortable and low profile

  • It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million
  • I copied this from another comment of mine. My advice is just give it a shot! The set up is super quick and the app just works.

    For features: incredibly customizable material design. Extremely fluid. A lot of view customization. Comment drafts are something I missed on voyager.

    Paid exclusive features: Cloud backups, user specific highlighting and theming, pull text from images, translate text, saved post folders (coming soon). No ads (yes the other apps don't have ads and are generally free).

  • Day 1 Sync Ultra Subscriber. So excited for this!
  • Echoing the other comment, I came from reddit and Sync was the only way I knew that site. Used Sync for about 7 years. I like LJ as a dev, I appreciate the way he interacts with the community, and I love the app. For me it's a no-brainer to give him support because I use his product as much as I do.

  • Why is my Lemmy experience feeling so lame? **UPDATE**
  • I feel your pain! Sorting by Top 6 Hours is my current go to, mostly because I only scroll every few hours or so. Additionally, I start by scrolling through "Home" then transition to "All" if I feel like it. If you use the voyager app, there's a new function to hide read posts, which could be helpful to you, as well!

  • What was the dumbest way you ever injured yourself?
  • Not me, but my brother ran into a cinder block wall in a foot race yesterday, cheek first fortunately. Ended up needing 6 stitches and having a hefty black eye and we're lucky that's all he got.

  • When did you first get "hit" by music?
  • I have 2 music Ed degrees! An aesthetic response is essentially an emotional connection. The idea is that a person's brain reacts to parts of music (dynamic, timbre, tempo, melody, etc.) in a way that generates that emotional response.

  • When did you first get "hit" by music?
  • This definitely feels a little embarrassing, but we're all strangers. It would have been late middle school, I just got a philips mp3 player from church and loaded some albums on it. My gf broke up with me at some point and Bullet For My Valentine's Scream Aim Fire and Panic! At The Disco's Pretty. Odd. kept me company. I have 2 music degrees now I am constantly having aesthetic reactions to music.

  • What's your favourite keyboard app? ⌨️
  • I prefer SwiftKey. Been using it since 2011 or so. I tried gboard and it's... Fine? I mainly use SwiftKey for a few reasons:

    • I prefer the minimal theme that I'm using.
    • I've used it forever
    • I like the way it handles gifs and emojis
    • Swiping for punctuation is extremely quick. I dislike having to hold it on other keyboards.
  • What is your favorite open source software?
  • I have used 7zip on a work computer or something, but it was quite a while ago. I mainly use winrar on my personal computers to decompress files. I may check out 7zip sometime, it may be nice to get rid of that pop up lol.

    Thanks!

  • Opinion: Sync shouldn't be open source

    I'll start with maybe I just don't know enough about open source. I do understand that the code is available and people can see it, make suggestions or adjustments, or essentially make their own thing using some or all of the code. I'm all for sharing things as necessary and learning from others when possible. With this though, I personally am on the side of: I trust ljdawson to do what's best for this app. I am on the sync train because of him the incredible app he made, and how he leads and interacts with the sync community.

    I've been using Sync for about 7 years and I've always thought Ljdawson is very active with the Sync community and (from my experience) has been pretty receptive to feedback on his app. When the material you version of Sync came out, people didn't like it so he made it so you can choose between the material you look or the old look. There are tons of customization options. I feel very informed with each update as well as what his next plans are. There are paid features that both support him as a dev and the longevity of the app. He puts a lot of time and care into creating the product we get to use and for me that is more important than being able to access the source code.

    I understand the worry for sure. My gut says that stems from the current situation at reddit, but I personally don't think the answer is sync going to open source. If something crazy happens with sync, there are (currently) other options.
