  • Developers should have the responsibility of ensuring their users get the freedoms they deserve.

    No one deserves anything

    right to study and modify the program and distribute the original copy and the modifications

    there is no such right in any code, legal or moral, that i’ve read in the past, i wonder what philosophical branch it is that sources this perspective

    what’s stopping the developer from adding spyware into the app

    nothing, but when they do that, that’s when they’re “being unethical”. That’s like saing it’s unethical to have a kitchen knife in your kitchen because you COULD stab someone with it.

    Why would anyone trust that the program does what’s in their best interest?

    cuz they’re dumb & uninformed. doesn’t make it unethical tho, afaik.




  • I tried all of the apps out there including Sync and continued using RIF because, for me, it was simply a superior user experience to anything else in the market.

    Aesthetics-wise, though, Sync and many others are much better. Sync is one of my favorites for sure. It’s very pretty. I used it for a long while trying to make it my new alternative cuz the looks were so much better. It was very good. I can’t remember why I went back to RIF. Must have been a trifling detail.

    Overall I’m extremely happy to see Sync here. It’s a high class app in what is a primitive environment I thought was not gonna be amazing due to the lack of apps and stuff. I’m 100% sure if Sync is finished here, there’s no stopping Lemmy’s growth.
