I really think he should consider making this app open source in case he doesn’t plan on continuing development. He’d be remembered as the guy who made the best open source Lemmy app instead of the guy who made people buy his app and then disappeared a few months later.

I can’t really go anywhere as I need to save as much money as I can to cover for missed time at work.

By far the most American thing I’ve read in a while.

Answering the question: How about reading some books?

Get well soon, OP!

I’m German. One day my house was being renovated and they were working with jackhammers to remove parts of the facade. It was incredibly loud and I couldn’t bear it. I lived close to university and had recently stopped working in one of the institutes. I knew though that my former colleagues had couches in some of their offices so I thought I’d give them a visit. I walked over to the institute and greeted my Australian former coworker. I explained about the noise in my house and said I was “looking for asylum”. Knowing the word “asylum” only from written language, I had no idea it was not actually pronounced “ay suh lum”. He asked “you’re looking for what?” as he obviously hadn’t understood. I repeated “ay suh lum” confidently and he politely said “ah”. Not long after, I learned the correct pronunciation of asylum and that memory has haunted me ever since. It’s been almost 10 years but I still cringe about it.

Is there a good alternative app? Been thinking about moving to a FOSS app for a while anyway but so far couldn’t find one that’s as good as Sync.
