Hmmmm (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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.

I think that font is more offensive.

[-] KillingAndKindess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 37 points 11 months ago

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

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

There are non-awful fonts designed specifically for dyslexia.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 25 points 11 months ago

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 :)

[-] DAMunzy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 11 months ago

Thanks. Sent that to my son.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Basically mirrored letters are bad for dyslexia

[-] ReiRose@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Oooooh, that makes sense! And also randomly reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Lisa can't deciper the cereal box clue even though everyone else gets it.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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.

Agreed, Helvetica Ultra Compressed or bust

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

[-] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

That's a beautiful font.

jk tell us about the bet you lost

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Legend@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah jerboa have a similar to boost UI too .

[-] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] BaardFigur@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I find Boost more pleasant to use. 4$ is not a lot, and you're even hanging out in this channel yourself. If you pay to remove ads, there's also no tracking

[-] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

I'm glad it's working well for you. Other people who don't want to pay, or don't want ads, should know that free alternatives without ads exist, though.

[-] Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I read this as goog leads.

[-] aleph@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Thanks, I hate it.

[-] Metype@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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
