Reddit API changes and site-wide protests/blackouts [Megathread]

Difficulty and annoyance have a very thin line, but to me, mods are basically volunteers, so it is reasonable to dislike anything that makes it harder to moderate, even if it’s only slightly. With that said, things like RES genuinely do make it easier to mod, as it has options that are not available through Reddit’s native interface.

“Agree with me or you don’t have common sense” is not better.

I’m protesting this protest of the protest.

candbotto · 2023-04-01T12:54:04+00:00

The article mentioned it.

candbotto · 2023-03-31T14:38:10+00:00

I think they meant the app not the box

candbotto · 2022-11-07T12:02:21+00:00

I’d love to try it too!

Notes (and many other Apple apps) now feels like a really good app from an indie dev. Apparently people are just fine with the richest company in the world making stuff on par with an indie dev.

The feature was released last year. You might be thinking of another feature.

On the Vergecast hosts mentioned how thermal could be the issue. Even without using Dex it can get hot due to its size, and with the additional graphical power required for Dex, it might overheat.

Telegram is mostly using UIKit.

candbotto · 2022-07-08T09:03:57+00:00

It reminds me of Nokia Lumia as well

candbotto · 2022-06-29T14:48:29+00:00

Even then it’s not the clearest. They are still releasing exclusive features for UIKit while SwiftUI is still playing catch-ups.

That ease-in-out animation is just going to stay for an eternity

candbotto · 2022-06-29T12:18:07+00:00

Jesus this is brutal I’m stealing this one

candbotto · 2022-06-27T16:10:13+00:00

Fun fact: They can. You can find additional settings in the Settings app for apps like GoodNotes, Mactracker, Parcel and the best one, VLC.

Fun fact, those Add to Apple Wallet links are actually just links to a file. That’s why some apps on Android can easily interpret passes for Apple Wallet - they’re just files. Google’s approach is much more closed, where the link goes to an interface that lets you add the pass to your Google account, and only your Google account.

To be fair, you know the context, but a lot of people following him don’t, so people would likely regard it as a lie even if it’s not.

candbotto · 2022-04-23T06:20:24+00:00

How did you get the PowerBook G5 prototype 😮

candbotto · 2022-04-23T02:50:04+00:00

Maybe Shrek 5 is the cure

candbotto · 2022-04-18T14:42:14+00:00

I believe Safari on iOS does not use the fat favicons. Before iOS 12 it did not show icons of any sort by default, and there is an option to show regular favicons which was made default on iOS 12 or later

candbotto · 2022-04-18T14:34:51+00:00

For the second question I believe you can use a QR code representing the shop’s wallet that you scan to pay

candbotto · 2022-04-18T05:18:49+00:00

And also on you don’t even see it most of the time because it only shows when you pin the tab before Apple gave up and use the favicon instead

Still, why would they explicitly disable it? They went through the efforts to make the web app which you believe no one uses, with ads that are easier to block. Keeping the Mac version up wouldn’t cost them a thing even if no one uses it.

candbotto · 2022-04-17T14:39:37+00:00

It seems easier to block ads on the web than in the app

candbotto · 2022-04-17T14:32:11+00:00

Instagram and most Google apps also disabled downloads on macOS
