this is the ad-free version, which is available with the exact same (if I'm correct) features on F-Droid for free, along with the source code on GitHub.
the versions on the Play Store (paid version and free version with ads) likely just help pay the developer for their work
and as others have said already, free software is free as in freedom, not free beer.
oh, I forgot about the API not being freely available; so an alternate frontend wouldn't be a proper solution?
going by the other comments, though, there are client-side options that can avoid API issues entirely by just re-styling the webpage. thanks for the info, though!
yeah, that was the main reason I wanted to apply it to old Reddit specifically, because it would have been easier with simpler theming and old Reddit is close to Lemmy's style too
I installed RES beforehand, but haven't used any of its features. I'll try this out first and maybe Stylish if that doesn't work. thanks!
okay thanks for the tip! I'm already using Stylish but I couldn't find a pre-made style for Lemmy.
I figured I could make my own but I didn't want to waste time doing something that could have been done already or could be done faster. at least I know I'm on the right track!
yeah, my bad. edited the comment with more accurate info
and this does apply to creative writing, not knowledgeable stuff like coding
in terms of the quality of writing you can get models from 20GB at a similar level to GPT-4 (good for creative writing but much worse if knowledge of something is required)
the model I use (~20GB) would know what rclone is but would most likely not know how to use it
EDIT: now that I think about it is was based off of some benchmark. personally I wouldn't say it performs at GPT-4 but maybe GPT-3.5
ah, okay, that's fair. in terms of short-form social media that tries to engage you, I'd expect little warning and for children especially to take more risks when encountering this type of content.
Folks with rooted android phones have a high chance of having watched a 12 year old tell them how to root their phone on TicTok.
I was more focused on this, though, because this sentence implied that you could successfully root your phone with short-form, likely phone-generic tutorials when the process nowadays is much more difficult and technical
maybe it's just me, but isn't it quite hard (at least for people not confident doing technical stuff) to root a phone?
like a decade ago the bootloader may have been unlocked by default and for many phones there were exploits so that they could be rooted with an app, but nowadays you would have to:
I guess there are usually detailed instructions for this, but I doubt that most people rooting their phones now would be non-techie people who are just watching generic online tutorials. they would most likely stumble upon XDA or other forums that would have proper instructions. and even then, they are not very beginners friendly as they aren't usually supposed to be followed by people with little to no experience with using the command-line, drivers, how Android phones work internally, etc.
damn. rest in peace man
thanks for this!! there's so much info on this comment
i'm currently using Logseq w/ Syncthing but i'll be looking at Org Mode and DokuWiki
