If you don’t mind a copy of their “Lite” version that often ships with audio hardware, you can google a method to generate a valid license key for that version that doesn’t require buying anything. ;)

I call it sequel but I’ve heard squirrel and squeal.

And every time I try to pull off a sweet gymnastics maneuver below an air conditioning unit suspended by failing screws…

I know a guy who also won his hearing but now has to enforce the ruling, and it seems like it’s completely up to him to now to get his money? Like he has to seek out bailiff services himself I guess? It feels pretty strange to hear that he won the hearing against his landlord, they owe him money, but getting the money isn’t some automatic process. Like what’s the fucking point?

I’ll be pedantic and say that CEOs are paid to think everyone has money to spend. ;)

But I totally agree with you.

Anecdotally, I’ve bought 3 keys over the years from g2a and 2 of them immediately didn’t work. Iirc there’s a big button you click during checkout if your key doesn’t work and the seller immediately has to provide you with a working one. That’s not g2a though, that’s just the seller providing you with another cheap key from their collection. G2A is scammy in other ways too (I’ve yet to be able to cancel their $2 “insurance” fee or whatever they call it the first time, it’s been years and I’ll probably have to chargeback since their site just throws me errors when I try to cancel. PayPal won’t even let me cancel it from their end.)

Why defend them?

Well it’s pretty damn cool for a single dev then, I’m impressed. I like the idea of giving money to a talented dev and not to reddit, too, so that feels nice.

I am looking forward to the lifetime payment, yeah. Is Sync made by a single dev? I don’t know anything about this app aside from everyone clamoring for the team to make a Lemmy-compatible version.

I also find myself using Lemmy less than Reddit but I’m hoping as we discover and tailor our feeds with more fitting communities then it’ll naturally become a healthy replacement. It took me like 10 years to curate my reddit algorithm.

As a Jerboa user who just started using Sync, I can honestly say it’s really fucking slick. Like really slick.
