Same, DDG fails with local results here in the Philippines, I found myself adding “g!” to my searches more often

Same, but maybe my timezone (GMT +8) would play a role in my case

when lemmy is clearly essentially a reddit clone.

The apps blurring the lines between the two platforms don’t help too lol

Genuine question, is it possible for a developer of a FOSS project to enforce copyright protections or does the nature of FOSS disallow that?

This is a very neat QOL feature to have, nice detail

That’s true—I’m planning to pay as well, but I’m waiting for the IAPs to sort themselves out, everyone seems to report very different prices

And those are the ones with arguably better UIs out of all of the apps

Notice a pattern?

I’m surprised they don’t shit on macOS too lol

Ads, what ads?

FOSS apps often suffer from mediocre UX/UI since the expected audience are power users, but it alienates users that aren’t. They’re functional for those who need it, yes, but is the GUI high quality? More often than not, they aren’t.

I’m not saying FOSS can’t have bad UI, like Blender for example, but those are the exception, not the rule.

For me, Connect and Thunder are getting there, but they don’t have the same level of quality and finesse as Sync. Though to be fair, Sync has a decade of work put into it.
