Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?
  • Nah they use "an open standard" being just markdown files or something, but the apps are still proprietary as far as I'm aware

    I really hate how I sometimes, though rarely, see Obsidian talked about as if it were open source just because it uses an open standard

    Like Photoshop isn't open source because it can use PNG kinda thing

  • Humanity making progress like it always does
  • Honestly, having a world that's just alone and empty, but not "abandoned", sounds so soothing to explore, so liminal

    Until insanity set in, but until then I'd have alot of fun just exploring the place for a while

  • Astounding absurdity
  • Mad respect, this is the exact same outlook I have

    This is also a reason I use Open Source software, because I know that if it's not the developer, then someone else can pick up the project and live on in perpetuity, as long as it's useful to even only one, the software will always be there

  • Are there any active forks of Eternity/Infinity, or should we keep waiting for an update?

    Eternity hasn't been updated in 4 months, in that time Lemmy itself got some really nice features like scaled sorting and instance blocking, but that's not something that we can do yet since there haven't been any updates

    If the current developer simply doesn't have the time to put out updates, that's alright, I want to know if there are any actively updated forks because Eternity is otherwise an absolutely killer app, I adore the customization especially!

    Unless there's a big update on the horizon, and afterwards updates become more regular and implement new technologies officially supported by Lemmy, in which case it'd be nice to have regular betas released publicly (I'm actually part of the apps beta program on google play, but that hasn't been updated either) or otherwise posted about on the main sublemmy

    I've met a couple other Eternity users in the wild recently, and our consensus is the same: We like the app, alot, but wish it was updated every now and then

    If there aren't any updates soon, and development will stay at this silent pace, then I'll probably just try out and use the other foss apps out there

    Whatever the case, I still thank the eternity devs for what they do!

    [Request] Resize the vote button hitboxes to match the other buttons

    They should fill vertically, atleast

    And tapping the number does nothing atm, so I think the hitbox should cover the arrow and number or something

    EDIT: yeah just made a sanity check and Infinity has the vote buttons sized properly

    I knew it felt weirdly precise compared to old Infinity
