For all the newcomers that aren’t aware, I just stumbled upon this insane drama. Apparently lemmy.ml is the result of a reddit sub ban of a bunch of pro-china bots who vigorously defend the Chinese government, and the two top admins are also the top devs of the Lemmy source software. Pretty terrible stuff!...
YouTube is currently running what it describes as a "small experiment globally," warning users to toggle off their ad blockers and avoid being limited to only three video views.
Despite site-stopping protests by mods and users, Reddit leadership chose to brute force its way through any reasonable way of continuing third-party app support. Instead, the company hopes its luxury-priced API will be its secret shortcut to an overvalued IPO. As a result, Reddit’s official iOS app is being torpedo’d in the...
I've had a Galaxy Fold 4 since release (last september), and I haven't personally had any durability issues whatsoever. The thing here, though, is that Samsung is scheduled to release its fifth generation folding device in about a month or so, while the Pixel Fold is Google's first try at a folding device.
The Flip and Fold 4 are probably the most refined foldable devices at the moment, and I've been really happy with mine. Google is a couple of years away from this level of refinement, so it doesn't exactly surprise me that the first Pixel Fold is "meh".
Note that you're ONLY focusing on the future economic prospect and impact of the creator, and not how it could potentially serve the audience for decades, centuries, millennials in other ways. Like becoming a cultural icon. No, think about the dollars. Right here, right now.
Nah, he's showing his hand since he knows Putin's got nothing. Putin fucked up when his (allegedly) empty plane fled Moscow. We all know Putin's a scared fucking pussy, and he's fucked either way how you bend it. Wagner is the start. Tchetchenia is next, knowing they'll have zero resistance towards Moscow they'll "finally" become an independent state when Putin is gone.
It's Russia. He's dead in a week or three. Putin won't forget or ignore this. He's fucking scared, and he'll try to kill him on the "battlefield", or by suicide by seventeen shots in the back of his head. Plenty of Russians love Pregoznin and hate Putin! Putin's fucked either way. He'll be know as the pussy who fled in his plane (even if it was a purposely misdirected.
I just set up all the subreddits I still want to following in Reeder, an RSS app. I'm able scroll through the posts ad free. It the occurred to me that this is a loss of revenue to Reddit. Could RSS be the new target for onerous fees?...
Fun fact: Feedly supports Reddit, and will list hot threads like any news article. Sure, you have to click the link to go to the thread, but you'll be able to choose which thread you want to engage with without a single ad.
I actually use Edge as a daily, but I also use Firefox because I want to support them. Unfortunately, Edge and Chrome are superior to Firefox in performance. Edge especially is really really great at resource management, and it doesn't matter if I have 1 or 700 tabs and windows open. It'll manage it without any issues. Firefox however, won't. Sure, it's rich in features and it's very very flexible, but it's not as stable or fast as the former.
Yeah, we're basically in the category of "I have a fairly powerful computer and I shouldn't really care about this, but I do care since I love software optimalization, but normal people won't even know or care about what I'm talking about".
Yes, this kinda happened to me tonight 🫤 With that said, Edge is smoother than Firefox, and faster. I guess we're enemies now. I'm upvoting you, though. No need to act like the Brits, right 😒

I've been using Feedly since Google Reader got killed off by Google, and it's been great. Rarely any issues at all, and you can add whatever URLs you want, and i'll try its best to make it into a useable feed.
