Never knew that, thanks for the correction.

I stand corrected!

Brave products are not open source. Not their search, and not the browser. Your post wording seems to imply that it is.

Well they were dishonest about the product behavior in multiple cases, such as adding referral links to search results. That makes it a bad product.

I don’t think they tried to hide that they were using Google, but rather than they are using Brave, because many people were upset about that. They probably just decided to stop naming specific indexes.

I’m in the US and I only have Standard as an option in my account. Is that the same as Basic or did they get rid of it here already?

Thank goodness. I came here because I didn’t want to be a customer.

The Apple developer terms actually have a specific section for “reader apps” which are primarily meant for consuming media purchased or subscribed to outside of the Apple Store. The in app purchase requirements are relaxed for apps falling in this category. I don’t think a calendar app fits that, though.

What resolution were you playing at?

Memmy is open source. Anyone can fork it and work on it if they want to. The developers are all of us. Why don’t you give some time?

Avelon seems to be closed source…

The revenue split is the same (30%) on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox, which seems like the number that should matter to the publisher.

TIL Valve started and maintains Proton…

Wait, so people used to take this guy seriously? I watched a review he did on some sim racing gear a few years back and it was obvious the guy didn’t google even the most basic advice on how to set up a sim rig properly.

I tried Kagi, but the results just seem like Google being re-sold, and there’s no way I could get away with anything other than the unlimited plan which is $25/month. Also I’m pretty sure it’s a company of one guy - I’m not sure if this is anything other than a pet project or how they would actually improve the results or become independent of google. Also not sure how I could trust their privacy claims as you literally need to be signed in to search. It’s frustrating though because I want to love their business model, and the presentation is very clean.

Is the top right icon a globe? The default I believe is to show posts from All instances, rather than local (your own instance) or subscribed communities only. Just tap the globe to change it, or set a different default in the settings.

Not really, IMO. I maintained a large open source project for a few years and the amount of time suck and mental drain is hard to overstate. Most employers seemed to barely look at it even though they could have clearly seen how I programmed, interacted with users, etc. And, if you decide to stop maintaining it, all those happy users are going to be unhappy users. Given that even bad developers have not much trouble getting steady work, and that all that time could have been invested in a project that earned or had the potential to earn money, it’s sort of hard to justify outside of personal passion. Just my experience, anyway…

Push notifications are an ongoing cost as well.

Since it seems like a lot of people here aren’t aware, this is app is open source and publicly licensed, and you can watch the effort being put in on github. It seems like the developer has been working around the clock to get this done, for free, writing code that is owned by the community.
