skepticalifornia,

Do you not understand the concept of deterrence through strength or are you being intentionally dense?

Do you believe for one second that Putin stops with Ukraine if NATO and the US weren’t standing in his way?

skepticalifornia,

I tried creating an account, but never got the email confirmation. Everything seemed to work until that point.

skepticalifornia,

Mine came through just now and I logged in successfully.

is anyone else bothered by the lack of the 3 buttons at the bottom

So i just bought Asus rog phone 6d and im extremely bothered by the lack of the back ,home and whatewer is the 3 one called buttons on the news androids. Is this something you all got used to with time or does this still bother you( IT really fells much less intuitive compared to the old 3 buttons ,alghtough preferably i would...

skepticalifornia,

Same for me, I think there are a lot of us 😀

I just haven’t been able to get use to gestures instead of the buttons.

skepticalifornia,

Are they updating? Mine are there but nothing new in a couple of days.

skepticalifornia,

The great thing Reddit had was the ability to turn any subreddit into an RSS feed by just putting .rss on the end of the URL in place of the “/”

Thankfully RSS is built into Lemmy - every community includes an RSS feed.

It’s a good way to see a quick list of all posts in a reader that supports RSS.

skepticalifornia,

I think it’s all part of their assault on open APIs - I have to believe that a tiny percentage of users use RSS, so the traffic can’t be that big unless scrapers use RSS.

skepticalifornia,

Update on this issue. Reddit has apparently started to enforce login requirements for RSS feeds. Since most newsreaders have elected to not pay Reddit for API access, most of them will likely stop working.

However, there is a workaround for now - you can use old.reddit as the feed url, so something like old.reddit.com/r/technews.rss will work, for now.

I expect Reddit to also kill old.reddit at some point as they still have a couple of bullets in their gun to shoot off the rest of their foot.

skepticalifornia,

Like others here it has to do with my Grandmother - one of my earliest memories was me, about 2, riding in the front seat of a car, and looking over at my grandmother driving and she smiled at me.

This was in the 1960s so kids could ride in the front seat and I probably wasn’t even wearing a lap belt, certainly no car seat.

My grandmother stopped driving not long after that, so I never saw her drive a car except for that one time and I can still picture her face smiling at me.

PSA, you can add subreddits as an RSS to view without supporting Reddit

There’s still some subreddits I’d like to view as their communities haven’t swapped over yet. Like you guys, I obviously don’t want to support Reddit in any way shape or form. Surprisingly, they have not gutted RSS feeds yet. Simply add .rss at the end of the domain. Example...

skepticalifornia,

Sadly, Reddit appears to have pretty much broken RSS feeds. I use NetNewsWire on iPad and Feeder on Android and both of them are hardly ever updating now. Reddit appears to have implemented rate limiting.

Yet another reason to tell Reddit to go F itself…
