idk what circles you guys live in but I grew up in rural south and been living a decade in Berlin. If a German talks to a German and they are not doing nerd talk and are just commoners having a chat they have been and still are using the word "handy". It still is the most commonly used word to describe a mobile phone in German language
yeah you can see all donation transparently on the donations section (unless u opted for anonymous) and fortunately it's looking like it's going quite well. I assume the creator actually has some more employees now or at least professional help for all the translations of the app as it seems to be available in a lot of languages.
Weawow is a completly (also ad-)free weather forecast app run basically solo by a Japanese guy. I was surprised when I found this app that it was so good in every aspect that I had to donate the guy. It has has more than half a Mio. reviews on google play with an average of 4.9 . Idk of any free app with that many reviews having this kind of rating, well deserved.
Further honorable mentions:
- Vivaldi browser
- Joplin notes app
- nextcloud
- wikipedia (obviously)
- Öffi
- Signal
- keepass
- rif for reddit (R.I.P)
Every time it amazes me that noone give a fuck about usenet since before the internet existed 😂
I lol'd
hmm interesting, I guess there must be some reason. Was just wondering is anyone could link why it has to be done this way and if it was actually due to Reddit tos as a brand or general play store guidelines
thx for the considerstions. I thought there should be a better way for thumbnails which really should not be the exact size as the image itself. If this is a Lemmy problem itself then I am happy to bring this issue to the Lemmy maintainers. It's a waste of data/energy, just pointless.
Well so you can just use the acronym of the app itself in the beginning of the play store name and it's all good? I'd like to see some source for these ominous play store policy
Maybe it was related to "impersonating other existing program"? Or is was just a brand guideline to the Reddit brand, anyway here are the guidlines related to app naming and some examples. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9898842#zippy=%2Cexamples-of-common-violations
So why was "reddit is fun" called so until the end then?
Well luckily we are not bound zo Reddit tos anymore 🤗
yeah it was obviously the same on any playground so the above comment saying it was "to safe elderly" is just very short sighted. Additionaly implying that this was the case in whole of Germany is again wrong. Each federal state had it's own health regulations in place but yeah some of those were kind of mediated by the ministry of health. Anyway it was a lot more complex than what this comment suggests
