Doesn’t matter, paid will due shortly after people realize there’s no NSFW content. Not just porn, everything flagged NSFW won’t show up at all. Everything from AMA to TV show discussions will be impacted.
I agree, I’m OK to let that website die. We really are ready for decentralization and we just need to deal with the growing pains. But it will happen eventually.
The developer thinks maybe they can make this work. Maybe there's a combination of a lower limit of API calls and an upper limit of what people are willing to pay for their app that will let them keep going.
The developer's lawyer recommended that to sue reddit for destroying their livelihood they would need to demonstrate that they had tries with the new system and it wasn't feasible in order to make their case stronger
The developer wants to take advantage of the third party landscape being just them now
Personally I think the first one is the most likely. It seems naive and bound for failure. But its also the least conspiracy theory and doesn't assume malice
Spez has already said that doing this {when talking about Apollo} is “not allowed”, so likely this method will get blocked or your account will get banned. You’re here now so IMO it doesn’t matter
Because the goal was to ban third party apps and they don’t want people trying to dodge it. u/spez seems to be personally offended by their existence and wants them gone.
I think the thing to take away from this is the poor state of management/maintenance tools that Exchange had. Thankfully over the years this has improved, but in those early years it was pretty bad.
I was using both Exchange and Lotus Notes/Domino in that period. If the same thing had happened in Notes, we’d just shut down the mail router task, open the mail.box database and remove the offending message. Easy. But that can only be done because Notes re-used its database system for everything, including the mail queue.
Exchange has a history of reinventing the wheel even within its own architecture. Let’s just say I’mm very grateful that we’re now on Microsoft 365 and these things are Microsoft’s problem, not mine… 😉
I have a Samsung a53 5G, and the system storage on my phone is 26.34 GB. I didn’t even realize until I just now looked that it was taking up that much space.
I urge everyone to support a community you like by posting interesting topics and commenting, and the rest will follow. Don’t just wait for people to do it.
first day of apollo being dead, finding myself sadder than i thought i would be. i knew it was going to shutdown but i guess it didn't feel properly real until it just stopped working
I can’t speak for Apollo but I used RIF and old.Reddit
I work with a bunch of techies with various opinions on this; he said I like “an app that looks like it was from 10 years ago”, which was meant to be an insult, but I think is actually the point: it was text-first, list view, “get out of your way” to enjoy the content.
I don’t like advertising pretending to be content.
I don’t like the integrations that pushed paid crap like their version of Bitcoin.
And I am here because even though Reddit is still active, it’s clear that the ship is being sailed solely by momentum at this point and the company is, well, only going up be able to do so much until they can’t pay what little staff they have. The way the mods and app developers were treated this month was the lowest of the low and sealed my decision.
Currently using wefwef and Memmy to browse lemmy via mobile. Wefwef feels closest to Apollo but Memmy has a better interface.
Also subbed to Winston on Reddit, the dev is actively responding to suggestions and aiming to release an app as close as possible like Apollo for browsing reddit. Then of course there’s also Narwhal.
It’s not only bloat. From what I remember I think it’s also swap space, probably also some space for caching and some other things. E.g. I have 42GB of system space out of 256 on my Galaxy S21, and it’s definitely not all bloat apps.
My 4 year old learned about Pokémon Go recently I started playing it again after about 4 year hiatus, haha I stopped playing about the time she was born 🤣
This is something I've been struggling with too. I love my partner, but they can't be my only source of social interaction. We each have our own lives in addition to what we share with each other.
It's been very uncomfortable, but I've been forcing myself to try to engage with people that I share hobbies with. Think about the things you like doing and then seek out those groups.
One of the advantages of trying to make friends as an adult is that, people are generally welcoming. If they aren't, it's probably not a group of people you want to spend your time with anyway.
