Oh my kid doesn't play -- more or less just listens to me vent about EA while occasionally providing advice on how to make my Sims clothing/builds look better. :D

Aww thanks for the comment. I'll share this with my kid as they're the one who came up with that one. :D

I'm so looking forward to once Paralives launches (Early Access to be sometime in 2025). Out of all of the competition, that's the one I'm looking forward to the most. I've been a Patreon supporter for years and love seeing their weekly updates.

I'm not interested in giving EA any more money or in their 2 hour long commercial. However, what I AM interested in is all creative talents who may create their own versions of what the Sims movie should be based on Sims 4 is actually like:

• No plot since it's up to you to think up the story in your head!
• Dining out for hours but the Sims can't sit down and actually eat a meal.
• Sims getting married when they've known each other for less than a day.
• A wedding with guests doing things like pushups or using their cellphones during the ceremony.
• A sim drops trash and now can't walk around it doing their 'hey you - help here - hand wave'.
• A crying baby needing food with two parents who desperately need to pee. The parents pass the baby back and forth, pee themselves, then one places the baby down on the floor in the puddle of urine.
• Famous Sims oddly appearing in every scene despite it not making sense for them to be there and oddities like wearing swimwear in snowy areas.

I break the spaghetti into 3 pieces before cooking it as then it's much easier to deal with. :)

Better to create your own instance then.

It's about reducing risk not eradicating it and there's a huge difference in risk in being targeted for legal action due to hosting c/piracy (via caching/mirroring) than from a single piracy post in c/hellokitty.

I appreciate your response and I agree. And likewise nothing wrong with the dev making money and fans supporting that too. (I've seen complaints of some people who think all Lemmy apps should be free...and I feel that's very entitled demanding someone else's time and effort for free, but they too can just use free apps.)

Cool. It's great that you did this.

However, my concern is there are no guarantees it wouldn't change and there would be no recourse for Google to give us a refund since from Google's standpoint we gave permission for the app to track our data regardless of whether we paid or not.

Just because it was done like this before does not mean it's a good or transparent practice. I can appreciate though that those who used and loved Sync for Reddit may not care.

I have not used Sync for Reddit however but upon hearing about how much people love it, I wanted to give this app a try. My main point is it's not transparent unless their is a separate app for the paid version that lays out the permissions.

Based on this source the issue has been fixed but the instance owners need to update to the latest version of Lemmy (v 0.18) which has the fix.
