The FOSS idealist fantasy land is just as cringe as all the "it's only $20" bootlicking loyalists. Just another dramatic console war, courtesy of a bored internet and slow news cycle

for real lol - you'd think Sync users were getting the logo tatoo'd on their forehead the way people are acting

At this point I'm just sick of hearing about it. If I promise to delete Sync from my phone, will you all shut the fuck up about it???

I was pissed about the yearly subscription, but $20 for life for an app that I will likely use for nearly a thousand hours per year really isn't too bad.
