The fediverse is the perfect example of how social media should be implemented following Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s vision when creating the WWW. That’s why this feels like pre-2010 internet!

Nike actually makes a running shoe which used a carbon reinforced sole IIRC which is supposed to make you use a bit less energy when running. So I’ll put in my vote for no, you won’t be faster barefoot.

Couldn’t figure a reliable way to mate, found the game and holy hell am I impressed. Black made the mistake of trying to pin White’s queen, White played Bc7 after that forcing a second mistake of moving the rook.

Yeah ofcourse I understand, I’m all for letting people know the danger of what they are doing though. And how they probably shouldn’t be trusting convenience over safety. I wouldn’t know how to distribute it properly to be clear. Maybe an open-source pipeline compiling them on-the-fly, but Google would probably have some issues with that lmao

Anyway, I recently decompiled an APK where I found some routines grabbing the final piece of code from their webserver to be evaluated and ran in said app. “But it’s just an anti-piracy measure and to see how many people use the app” Meanwhile leaving a skyscaper sized backdoor, or potential internal abuse.

I don’t really appreciate the ‘trust me bro’ vibe of this post. Virustotal links are useless when injecting custom build malware.

Just to be clear, I’m sure you’re posting this with the best intentions, but there is no way I would ever install an apk from a random mediafire link, nor should anyone else.

It doesn’t justify it IMO, but the features are not the point. It’s about supporting the development for a (currently) smaller userbase.

Anyway, here’s a screenshot

It’s not $99 for the app though, it’s $20 for sync ad-free, which is reasonable for a crazy polished app like this one. The $99 gets you a tiny bit more functionality they provide extra based around a subscription model because recurring revenue makes sure you always have the funds to further your project. I don’t necessarily agree with this sentiment, but I also don’t need any of those extra features.

Also, sync is just the beginning. Many more apps will follow. If they still think that price is reasonable, then so be it. But $20 is very fair IMO.
