I am kinda hoping that with increased revenue, they can afford to get more licences for other content. But I think the video streaming services is too fragmented now for that to be a reality. Unlike audio streaming where it’s a lot more sensible.

Was just about to say the same. Google often like to pick up their ball and go home after releasing something good. Maybe it’s time we stop relying on cloud apps and go back to good ol’ fashioned locally run applications.

I feel sorry for those small, understaffed, enterprises that had to scramble to get off CentOS 8, and may now be in the same situation with Alma/Rocky 8. IBM/Redhat have really fucked over potential customers. What a great advert to ensure no-one buys your product.

If IBM actually cared, they could have still gone down this route. But they could have let CentOS 8 run it's initial, promised, support cycle, then switch exclusively to CentOS stream. And continue to provide the source for the entire run of RHEL 9.

That is true, however, some companies would still want weeks/months of testing the transition in non production environments first with detailed write ups and sign offs before any work can be done. The script may be easy, but the bureaucracy in some of these companies is also yet another level of hurt.

The rate of inflation may be falling, but year on year it's still rising. I mean, I don’t know about you, but the cost of living certainly doesn't feel like it's getting any easier.

Same for KDE, in fact, I would go as far as saying that most Windows users could find their way around KDE very easily within a matter of minutes.

What issues do you have with KDE? It's been solid for me for many years. The initial release of KDE 4 was a bit of a shitshow, but they hadn't EOLed 3.5 at that point yet, and once they did, 4.X was solid.

I tried to come up with a witty reply, but sadly that's not my forte.

Just waiting for Reddit to say the mods aren't doing a good job and replace them, ironically, with fully-sighted mods.

We're currently in that weird limbo phase. Too late to use Apollo, too early to use Artemis. It truly is a weird time.

Great seeing there's quick progress on this, though. Thank you!

hawdini, 10 months ago

Is this a lost Lemming?

hawdini, 10 months ago

That's the solution I've ended up going with too. Hoping to get my hands on the iOS Beta of Artemis soon, though.

I wonder how long it'll be before they scrape the bottom of the barrel and send that message to me for closing the r/dfshow sub. The sub is a support community for my DF-SHOW Unix (and Unixlike) terminal file manager. I was planning on unveiling the sub as part of the 0.10 release of the project, however, the API drama kicked off before then.

If they do decide to forcefully reopen the sub by kicking the only moderator, who is the sole developer of the project and currently the only subscriber to the sub, then we'll know they're desperate!

Heck, imagine if Reddit didn't charge so much for their API, I'm sure someone would eventually wrap an integration to drag Reddit kicking and screaming into the Fediverse

hawdini, 10 months ago

BlackCat announced it would delete the information if Reddit gives it $4.5 million and reverses API price increases.

Now, unlike Christian Selig asking for $10 million to essentially sell Apollo to Reddit, this actually is a threat. Let's see what Steve Huffman's response to this is...

Hang on, if we (and by we, I mean those that still have Reddit accounts) will be able to vote out mods, why not demand that we have the ability to vote out the board too? They want more democracy? They should extend that to the whole of the platform. Seems reasonable to me.

For me, it's not about being able to replace the battery more quickly, but instead being able to take out a battery that's decided it's not happy being size zero and would rather embrace its inner plus size lifestyle. Strangely enough, an enclosed device isn't happy when a sealed-in battery decides it wants to take up 3 times the space that's been allocated in the device for it.

I know it's already been posted there, but for more kbin customisations, have a look at the @kbinStyles magazine

hawdini, 10 months ago

Either that or submit a pull request to the Kbin project. Unlike Reddit, Kbin is open source.

So basically, we can now vote out the mods and post what we want on subreddits? And if the new mods don't like what we post, we vote them out too? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

In most cases, when the EU passes a law to make something happen, it's cheaper for manufacturers to make that EU-compliant device available worldwide rather than make a specific version just for the EU market. So, I'd expect user-replaceable batteries in flagship smartphones to be available in the US by 2027 also.

I work night shift, and switch to day life when I'm off shift. My schedule is generally, "oh, I'm tired, better go to bed". I don't think jet lag is going to be an issue for me any more though!

There are no 3rd party apps yet. But nothing is stopping one from being made. I'm happy to use a web browser to use Kbin until a more rounded App comes along.
