  • I’m sorry if I’m out of line with my comment here, but this whole post gave me a good laugh. I think it’s akin to asking GIMP developers, “why don’t you just make this like Photoshop” or asking Linux developers, “why don’t you just make this like Windows”.

    I’m sure the Thunder devs would love to bring over a lot of the most popular features from Sync, but it’s not that simple. Looking at the repo, there are already very frequent commits and releases, but there is also quite a backlog of feature and bug requests. You can’t just make one app like another app, nor can you imply that Thunder doesn’t have feature parity with Sync because the devs don’t want it to.

    Add on to that the fact that Sync is a paid app meaning that the developer can justify spending more time on it than an open-source app maintained in the spare time of the devs.

    Anyway, that’s just my two cents. In short, “it’s not that simple”. :-)












  • This is exactly it. Airports with the newer scanner machines (I call them the croissants due to the resemblance) let you keep your electronics in your bags.

    They still give you a hard time for not just automatically knowing that though. Every TSA line should have clearly posted rules for that line.
