How? I don't want to pay for an app when I have one that satisfies my needs for free.That doesn't make me a cheapskate. I was using this before Sync was even available. I can express my opinions about it too. I don't think it's worth the money when the service is already free and I don't like it's tactics to make you pay. But again, why would I care if someone paid for Sync? I'm not going to call all Sync users money wasters. Clearly they found value in it. People who didn't aren't just cheapskates
Nothing works for "free" they ask for donations. And just cuz you don't wanna use an app doesn't make it useless or an app "we don't need". Also there's not "tactics" to make you pay, guy's just asking you to pay to remove ads, they made the app, it's their choice how it should work. You're not expected to buy it or use it, it's just out there as an option if you want to.
It is free, in both meanings of the word. Donations are donations. I didn't say it was useless and by "we" i mean all the people that guy called cheapskate. They are tactics. Never said it wasn't their choice. For the last time, I don't use the fucking app. That doesn't make me a cheapskate. This is the most ridiculous comment section. The original guy was shitting on others for NOT using the app. I don't fucking caaaare what people use. Good lord.
It's the implication that the sync dev is doing something nefarious by charging to remove ads from the free app they developed.
I didn't imply that. I don't like the ad model and I think it's bad for people. How many times are people going to try to make this dev sound like the most humble person ever. The poor dev made this free app and you wont support them. Dude can and already has made money. I'm not saying not to support independent devs. I'm saying I don't like the model and that's my fucking choice to not use it. I'm fine with Jerboa and I'm not a cheapskate because I wasn't convinced to use Sync. This is the most bizarre opposition I've ever faced.
It's not really bizarre. You're digging in to something and responding to each comment, and every time you do, you talk from a perspective that to others is obviously flawed. In every comment you said "noooo I'm not a cheapskate, I just want an app for free" and that is amusing.
You're the asshole who posts useless bug reports on GitHub but never donates. Get the 🦆 out of my project issues.
I literally said I donate dumbass. I don't want Sync for free cunt. I don't want Sync at all if it uses ads I have to pay to remove when I have a free alternative. That's not a cheapskate decision. That's called not wasting my fucking money. If someone likes Sync, then it isn't a waste for them.
And I reply each time you do. Doesn't take that long. Beyond that, the people digging this far are like you. My original comments are upvoted so clearly I'm not against everyone here...
