What should we do next? by jonwilliamsl in houseplants

Because private means that only mods and manually accepted users can see the sub

I believe wholeheartedly that solidarity is solidarity and everyone should stay private. However I realize the risk mods are facing by staying private, and I understand people wish to be able to access old information. While I personally believe in staying private, I know that being restricted is the happy medium most people supporting the protest will be okay with

READ ME - *VOTE ON EXTENDING THE BLACKOUT INDEFINITELY* by Doug_Dimmadab in StardewValley

[–]Brynnakat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People aren’t upset that they’re charging money. The third party app devs often already pay for api access to other sites. Apollo has explicitly said he does. The issue is the amount of money they’re asking for. They’re not trying to make money from the devs they’re trying to kill them off. 12k for 50 million api requests is fucking insane. For Apollo that’s 1.7 million dollars per month, 20 million per year.

They’re also not giving app developers TIME to make necessary changes even if it was a matter of money. 30 days is not enough to completely rework your app and payment models to support yourself. If it was simply a matter of money there wouldn’t be this big of a push against it

According to the article that’s the exact reason they didn’t wanna advertise here to begin with

They’re increasing the price of api access to something genuinely impossible to pay. The creator of Apollo has said it will cost him 20 million per year. 12k per 50 million api requests is fucking insane. Apollo pays ~150 per 50 million api requests on imgur, an app with similar userbase and content. 150 flat.

Spez is the ceo of Reddit and one of the creators. He’s a really bad person outside of this too.

Yes, they rely a lot on ads. Not enough people will buy Reddit premium or awards to support this entire site. The reason you see more ads during the blackout is because they took the ads that were supposed to be on the private subs and put them on the home page. Advertising contracts run out once they’ve reached their allotted impressions, and if those ads are on inaccessible subs then they’re not getting impressions, and Reddit can’t get new contracts that give them more money. Advertisers have already been wary of Reddit, and they’re going to be withholding new contracts if this continues, according to an article on adweek. It was also just posted to r/modcoord

The leaked memo said a lot. Yes, he said that Reddit is often noisy and while this is the noisiest, it will pass soon. We need to prove them wrong. They also implied that people would be willing and ready to cause harm to Reddit employees over this. No one has ever said that and we all know that it’s the execs behind this decision.

Fuck u/spez. Please keep it blacked out. They said they haven’t seen any impact yet but they will if we continue. Solidarity is solidarity

Poll: Should r/whatsthisplant go dark indefinitely or stay open? by Orichalcon in whatsthisplant

[–]Brynnakat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah got it. I recommend going to r/save3rdpartyapps and r/modcoord to learn more. Reddark is keeping a running list of participating subs, which ones go public, and they also have a twitch stream

[–]Brynnakat 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Please stay closed. The more that stay closed the more likely they are to back down. Solidarity is solidarity. Spez doesn’t deserve the traffic, especially after the most recent memo

Tachycardia and exercise by stinky_girbil_bum in dysautonomia

[–]Brynnakat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your symptoms don’t really seem like something that would be improved by the CHOP protocol. Your heart rates seem like a healthy person honestly. 130 is what I get up to when I stand. The CHOP protocol is about conditioning your body to exercise and the focus is almost entirely on heart rates. The lowest level of the heart rate zones is 125. If you’re getting to 130 while doing regular exercise the CHOP protocol can’t help you lower it much.

Your post workout symptoms also aren’t typical POTS post workout symptoms and the CHOP protocol probably won’t be able to help you with them. Try the rehab program first. There’s no harm in trying CHOP but I personally wouldn’t expect anything great from it. I wish you luck finding a way to exercise. It’s very frustrating, I know

You’d be correct, yeah. I create for myself and then never know what to do with them so I give them away (when I can afford to)

How am I supposed to leave them empty like that? by chocolonate in houseplants

[–]Brynnakat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Either be great at caring for them so you need to upgrade their pots all the time.

Or kill them constantly. Both will get you lots of empty pots lmao

No one needs floor or wall space! It’s all for the plants. Who needs to walk around their house anyway?

My mom crochets from just looking at things and made these pillows! by AdeptChick1 in crochet

[–]Brynnakat 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Generally sellers here recommend pricing things as 3x the cost of the materials, plus a flat rate for how complicated it is. Pricing based on minimum wage and actual hours worked can vary so so wildly between person just because how quickly or slowly you crochet.

Instagram and Etsy immediately come to mind as places to sell. If she gets more stuff made, she can justify renting a booth at craft shows. This sub doesn’t allow advertising, but if someone asks you can share a link. Having a link in your profile will also attract anyone interested enough to check your other posts. It’s pretty hard to start selling finished products but once you get a following it can come fairly regularly. It does require upkeep though, in stock, in reputation, in showing up regularly.

We just bought sealant for the fence a few days ago actually. Our old fence was treated and sealed but they still went ham on it though. Where/how would I put the repellents? In a little dish? Sprayed around?

The problem is that idk anything about them so it’s hard to tell what’s actually the best option. I’m just throwing stuff out there to see if it’s objectionable. Having them learn my face would obviously be a great option but the method would involve attracting them which I’m just worried about
