For what it's worth I find the text prediction is really accurate for me (and it capitalizes I without issues).

I've got a few smart plugs, TVs, and a bunch of Hue bulbs. It's surprisingly easy to get to more than 20 devices.

I work in AI, and I think AI is overrated.

I agree. The System UI has been crashing hard on my S23 Ultra recently due to the One UI 6.0 Beta, which means I can't open any app or even shutdown—nothing happens. Thankfully, you can force a shutdown by holding Volume Down and Power for 15 seconds.

There should always be a hardware force shutdown option.

Thanks for the hard work!

I enjoy writing with fountain pens, and I've got to justify the numerous pens and inks I have. I also find it helps me with recall and focus. So I take notes by hand most of the time.

This is what I use. It's the right size, works well with every nib I've tried, and it's inexpensive.

Same. I've written a fish plugin, but other than that I just fish pretty much stock. It works and just gets out of my way.

Same. I chose programming.dev because it was close to my interests and seemed less likely to be drawn into federation drama. Losing Reddit already made me feel "homeless." I was worried about choosing a home instance, and then being forced to create a new account all over again because of admins squabbling amongst each other and instance drama.

Both worked for me on Sync. 🤔

I've tried Connect, Liftoff, Thunder, Voyager, and Infinity. It's just bugs galore. The back button will take you to the wrong activity, comments won't post (due to the app not the instance), some instances or accounts won't load, and a laundry list of UI or functionality bugs. Liftoff gave me the fewest issues of all of them, apart from using Lemmy in the browser.

But Sync really is polished, and the experience is night and day. I'm a big FOSS proponent, but I don't think it's wrong for a developer to want to make money when their income source suddenly disappears and they need to pay bills (and region-specific pricing is coming soon). The level of customizability, spit and polish in the other apps doesn't even come close. I'm sure they'll get there eventually, but I think it's a mistake to drive away passionate developers who want to help Lemmy succeed.

I've given pretty much every app or browser front-end a fair shake at this point, and I'm gladly choosing Sync for now.

I recommend installing Obtainium. In Obtainium, click Add App and then paste the Codeberg URL for Infinity for Lemmy: https://codeberg.org/Bazsalanszky/Infinity-For-Lemmy

Obtainium will take care of installing and updating from various code repositories whether they're hosted on GitHub or Codeberg or some other place.
