Yeah, it’ll be a while yet

So it goes

Kinda depends on what features in sync made you like it.

Overall, boost, connect, thunder and summit each get close to parity, but only close. But, you could say that in reverse, (that sync only gets close to parity with any of them) it isn’t a slight against any of them.

Eternity is another one that I’ve had good use of, but development on that seems to be stopped as well, so I dunno if that’s a useful option.

Past those, you get less similarity in ux and ui than would make sense to compare. Like, the apps that mimic voyager (or whatever the popular iOS reddit app was called), things are laid out so different that if you used sync as a primary, you aren’t likely to enjoy that ui.

On a phone, I kinda favor connect over sync, despite it looking very unlike it compared to boost or eternity. But on a tablet, nothing else does double columns in portrait worth a damn for me, and aren’t great in landscape either. But boost and eternity come the closest to the visual ease sync has.

that’s sync

I was going to include screen shots of the ones I have on this tablet, but uploads shit the bed and are being weird after that one. So no promises that I can do them all

boost

eternity

connect

and interstellar since it does piefed better than anything else I’ve tried, and still does lemmy just fine.

Decided to install thunder and summit long enough to give a visual

thunder

annnd summit

As you can tell, everyone has a slightly different approach to the UI. But they’re even more variable in what settings are available, little niceties, etc. Theming is all over the place from a bare bones light/dark/oled to the relative broad visual options of boost and sync. None of them are bad at all. They’re reliable, work even on older devices without bogging them down, and are all easy enough to get going with.

I mean, dude does seem pretty rapey. I wouldn’t leave my chickens alone with him.

Nah, it’s only gay if you like it

One problem

Batteries.

I’ve used old devices as many things: security cameras, a form of intercom, digital picture frames, etc. The real problem is that the batteries eventually go bad, and become dangerous.

For the few devices that have realistically replaceable batteries, that’s no big deal, but how many of those are left now?

No thanks to the potential fire, I’ll pass. The few devices I have left that I can swap batteries out are becoming harder to find new batteries for as well, so that’s an issue beyond their anemic hardware (I’m talking really old tablets at this point)

I’m a fairly recent jazz convert, and there’s absolutely no way I would be able to tell the difference. None.

No more or less flawless than windows, Android, or the iOS stuff.

It’s different flaws.

Ngl, that would likely be me.

Not just because I like chickens, though that’s a factor.

In my neighborhood, if you go the posted speed limit going one direction in the section that my house is on, you’d be going slow enough to be able to correct and not hit an animal. Going the other direction, as long as you don’t slam the pedal down, it’s the same.

So anyone hitting any critter with the possible exception of squirrels is 99.9~% likely to be doing something they shouldn’t. I’ve gotten in altercations about it before because we have not just a lot of pets in the area, but kids. So some fucking moron is going to hear about out when they’re showing exactly how fucking stupid they are.

But, I also happen to kinda know all the neighborhood chickens. Not necessarily on a first name, come her for petting basis, but I know which birds live where. Since I also have my own, and would gladly curb stomp any motherfucker that fucked with them, I would likely at least lay hands on a motherfucker for killing any of the neighborhood birds by being a moron. I’m old, but my tolerance for fuckery like that keeps getting lower as I age.

Accidents do happen, but some jackass trying to be all badass by speeding in a residential area can fuck right off and die. And yes, I’m talking about you, Robert, you absolute prat. Jackass. Done told you once. Fuckwit.

Anyway, yeah, chances are high the lady was justified as long as the dude is still alive

Obviously fake, no anon has a girl friend of any type.

Nothing more gay than sister/sister stuff.

Which has to be fake right?

Aren’t all anons?

I’m not seeing the problem here…

Dude, everyone at the company owes you head at that point. 10k hours = head, that’s just the way it is.

With a title like that, anyone that doesn’t like it is probably yuppie scum, and needs composting

I remember the first time a teacher gave me wood.

Then I gave it back

While OP is obviously made up, and definitively loves others of the same gender, that is not a bad metric for compatibility.

If it’s your favorite song, ever. Something that just brings you great joy, and the prospective partner isn’t at least able to jam with it, the chances of being on the same wavelength about other things get smaller.

I don’t really have a favorite song because how the fuck am I going to pick just one. But let’s pretend that I managed to and it was Master of Puppets (which would be on the final list no matter how that list got decided). If my lady can’t at least smile and throw the horns in solidarity, how the fuck we gonna handle that big a gap in tastes? Not saying it has to be her favorite too, but there’s gotta be at least a friendly neutrality or it means our tastes in music are radically different.

If tastes in music are far apart, chances are that other things like movies, tv, books, are almost guaranteed to be similarly apart. That wipes out big chunks of conversation and leisure time. And, how the fuck you gonna handle road trips? Stuck in a car with music you can’t at least tap a foot along with isn’t gonna be fun. It’s going to be stressful as fuck after an hour or so. Trust me on that one, I’ve been stuck in a vehicle for work purposes for long trips without realizing exactly how horrible the people I was with were. And I’m one of those people that doesn’t entirely reject any actual genre. Even the stuff I avoid, it isn’t because of the genre, it’s tangential stuff.

But after two hours of shitty contemporary christian bullshit I was ready to strangle someone.

Imagine that, but you hate Taylor Swift, and the date you’re with is a swifty. Or, imagine your poor date just can’t tolerate death metal, and you’re blasting some Behemoth. The fuck? You’re doomed. And that’s what long term relationships bring: hours in the same place frequently. You gotta be able to find common ground.

So, anon up there making the right choice for the wrong reasons, what with the fictional nature of their same sex lifestyle

Dammit!

Anon is totally gay, but the realness present in this text has broken my brain.

Also, that song is still fucking awesome.

It doesn’t have to be a 1:1 equivalency
