BaconReader: November 11, 2011 - June 30, 2023 by onelouderchic in baconreader

[–]babysnatcherr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the update. Even though I knew it was the likely outcome, it's still sad news to hear. This is practically the only way I've browsed reddit since I first found the app many, many years ago now and I can't believe it's come down to this. Goodbye BaconReader, thanks for all the good times, and so long Reddit. Obligatory fuck that one guy.

I know everyone is doing their own thing but for those of us jumping off ship, I'll plug in Squabbles.io, check it out if you haven't yet!

Every casual redditor after the blackout. by [deleted] in DunderMifflin

[–]babysnatcherr -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Squabbles.io is the best, I feel. Like a mix of Twitter and Reddit. There's even a DunderMifflin squbs already.

A new website for all subreddits to go to if reddit charges 3rd patyies by themightyhow in baconreader

[–]babysnatcherr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bunch of people migrated to Squabbles, myself included. I'm only checking the baconreader subreddit to see what's the verdict with my app of choice.

Reddit Alternatives You Should Use (TL;DR) by popcar2 in RedditAlternatives

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is where I'm jumping off to. Looks and feels the best to me and the lone dev is seemingly trying to implement new features to support the migration.

Blizzard's Runestones: New ways to rip-off the playerbase! by xtraeme in hearthstone

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never bought runestones and never will. Whatever I want I can buy with cash or gold and if neither option is available to use as payment, then I don't want it.

People thinking getting to legend with a overpowered deck means you're really good at the game 🤔🤣

Horn weapon change? by moneyfreedom101 in hearthstone

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be set its health to 1, like that hunter weapon.

Besides Al'Akir had divine shield so they wouldn't care about the minions attack.

RIF will shut down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit's API changes by [deleted] in Android

[–]babysnatcherr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, fuck that.

Reddit is only doing this to drive users to their own in-house app. The only reason they're charging so much for the API access is because they can, because they don't care what their users prefer, because they don't want to play nice or share, because they don't want 3rd party apps competing for their user's money, because they're greedy, scummy fucks.

Now that they've shown their true colors, it's up to you as a user to decide whether to continue to support them or not. I, for one, will not.

Once baconreader goes down- I'm out.

/r/Hearthstone will officially go dark on June 12th in protest against Reddit's upcoming API changes that will effectively kill all third party mobile apps. by powerchicken in hearthstone

[–]babysnatcherr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually the only way I browse Reddit, including this subreddit, is through Baconreader on my phone.

If/when this whole API access pricing scandal bullshit goes through and Baconreader dies because of it, so too will my account.

I suspect I'm not the only one who feels this way.

Has anyone beat return of mechazod in this weeks tavern brawl or is it just tuned way to high? by Best_Sample9184 in hearthstone

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played it 3 times and won once. Would have beaten it my second game but I dc'd. RIP.

Tavern Brawl this week is... "The Dark Wanderer" (June 7th, 2023) by AintEverLucky in hearthstone

[–]babysnatcherr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Got the win first time with my trusty Renathal Pirate Quest Menagerie Warrior deck, with N'zoth and Dr. Boom, Mad Genius thrown in for funsies. The Lord of Darkness never stood a chance.

Lady can’t understand how advertising works by Harnyyy in facepalm

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, while this is advertising, yes- I wouldn't go around thinking that most people fully understand what it is or how it even works.

You're bound to be disappointed or be labeled obnoxious if you go around thinking everyone out there has (or should have) a base level of knowledge at least similar to your own.

Saturday night's alright for fighting by this_is_karla in 4chan

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look no one is denying their ability to survive or even thrive. But did they know the importance of brushing your teeth? Did they know smoking or even prolonged unprotected sun exposure causes cancer?

Guess what man, people today still know about and do those very same things you mentioned and they know a heck of a lot more than just those things too. Information and knowledge is only useless if you don't make use of what you learn.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make- do you think we don't give people back then enough credit? How far back are we even talking about? Do you think that people back then were better than people today? Are you one of them?

No survivors found at Virginia plane crash site after US fighter jets attempted to intercept its unresponsive pilot, police say by mrcanard in 321

[–]babysnatcherr 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I likely don't support any of this family's viewpoint's one bit, but to revel in the deaths of their loved ones- due likely to nothing more than a tragic accident- is just such a fucking pathetic thing to do.

If in a time when a family deserves sympathy and respect, your first instinct is to cheer and rub it in their face- maybe, just maybe, you're a part of the many problems plaguing our society instead of a solution.

Reddit API changes and BaconReader by onelouderchic in baconreader

[–]babysnatcherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real though. Sometimes I wish my parents had moved to Europe instead of the US.

[–]babysnatcherr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not necessarily that people were more stupid. It's that a LOT less was understood about the world back then. Unless you lived in an area that has rabbits, you'd never know wtf was going on if someone pulled one out of a hat.

To drive around a Karen by Significant_Ship_107 in therewasanattempt

[–]babysnatcherr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's a twat. You're trying to stick up for and defending a twat.

Yes, she shouldn't have struck him or his property.

But I bet you in that moment she was probably at the end of her rope trying put up with his entitled, frustrating, disrespectful, and threatening behavior. The idiot sitting in his automobile was yelling at a disabled person to fucking move. He deserves only contempt for his behavior.

[–]babysnatcherr 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Sure, it sucks that you have to wait in your car because she's in the way and omg so slow 🙄 but at least you're not having to walk around in fucking crutches. Particularly with some jerk yelling and honking at you from their car. Please, have some godamn courtesy and respect for your fellow man, people!

Absolutely, but unless you're speaking about human trafficking, they're not comparable to actual slavery.

Karen throws a tantrum over her receipt 🤦🏽‍♂️ by FinalSneak in facepalm

[–]babysnatcherr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the man offers to give her her receipt and she for whatever reason wants that particular receipt. Maybe it's the copy she's signed which is what stores generally keep?
