I guess googleads sucks even more than I thought

Love the app! Bought the adfree for reddit, plan on buying this one too once I move out of my car.

What in the fuck is that font dude what the hell are you doing

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

That's a beautiful font.

jk tell us about the bet you lost

I've gotten ads for that thing too. I think it's because Google ads really only knows that you're on social media and little more so it just shoves ads for "social media" at you and then this happens. I think, at least kinda, that it's reassuring seeing ads so disconnected from my usage of the app since it implies little information is being sent to third party advertisers.

Next time I get paid I'll just pay the dev though tbh

Hur de durr durr. We all know orange man is Satan. Let's move on please

Just use one of the many open source Lemmy apps, such as Voyager or Jerboa. They don't have ads.

Or pay the app developer the £3.59 one time fee they are asking for for the hard work they've put into making the app good.

Why, when free and open source alternatives exist? I don't know about you, but I'd rather donate to something like Jerboa, than spend the same amount of money supporting proprietary software. Especially as Lemmy itself is an open source protocol.

Yeah jerboa have a similar to boosr UI too .

I read this as goog leads.

I think that font is more offensive.

Idk why, but it seems to help my dyslexia. ¯\(ツ)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

you misspelled dylsexia

There are non-awful fonts designed specifically for dyslexia.

So I went looking, and found this

https://opendyslexic.org/

Which also looks weird to me, but if it makes it easier for someone with dyslexia to use their phone then I'm all for it :)

Basically mirrored letters are bad for dyslexia

[–] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Thanks. Sent that to my son.

I know Amazon also developed some very un-janky dyslexic typefaces for the Kindle, but I don't know if they can be had for free.
