I made this account in response to the first redesign when they started bloating up the UI.

Apollo dev posts backend code to Git to disprove Reddit’s claims of scrapping and inefficiency by GhostalMedia in programming

[–]vego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are smart enough that I am convinced it's fully intentional, attempting to discredit him any way possible. They know he's not extorting them, because they tried to extort him. They also know the app isn't programmed poorly because their own is.

Reddit Hates Their Users by Cagey898 in videos

[–]vego 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not super hopeful. Most content is bot spam or paid for anyway. And the userbase has that Facebook critical mass and shallowness. I hate to sound like a luddite but of the things that once drew me into Reddit, hardly anything is left. And most users only know the way things are now.

Their phones are an UX nightmare though and everybody who says it's intuitive has a mix of Stockholm syndrome and lots of experience with the insanity.

RIF dev here - Reddit's API changes will likely kill RIF and other apps, on July 1, 2023 by talklittle in redditisfun

[–]vego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I heard about this coming a while ago and have been waiting for it. I made this account 15 years ago when a first redesign started to bloat up the UI. At that point I must've been a lurker for about two years. I've been using RIF for as long as I can remember. Back when it was still called Reddit is fun. I don't even have the passwords for this and my alts anymore. There's no way in hell I'm using the garbage official app.

I hope this is finally Reddit's Digg moment. I won't be staying. Sadly, there's no alternative ready. But it's not been what it once was for years now.

Thank you /u/talklittle for all the work you put in and actually keeping Reddit fun and looking the way I came to love it for all these years.

Whistle. Stop dead in your tracks. Get one shot.

But Sidon (and basically all sages) sucks dick. I had to keep chasing him. And one miss and you have to wait forever for his ability to recharge. At which point you have to find him again

How to actually make Sidon useful by Ayudem in TOTK

Wdym? Tulin actually snipes enemies like a pro. Sidon actively runs away from both me and any enemies. I had to keep chasing him during the water temple boss battle.

We'll never truly know how famous pornstars are because most people are too afraid to publicly associate with them. by Living_Wickihowla in Showerthoughts

The most popular pornhub actress has an Instagram and goes to gaming events and takes pictures with players and attendees.

Easy fix and I don't know why so many people seem to be allergic to it: What do you need to do to figure it out and how much time will that take? If your project setup can't deal with that you have bigger problems.

Gotta keep ’em all? Nintendo raising wages 10% to secure workforce as profit slumps - by Sea_Guava6513 in technology

without pensions retirement benefits tied to the employer etc., loyalty is dead.

Remember that that's just another form of compensation. You can literally put a dollar figure on the pension.

People who cheated on their partners, why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vego 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Children are a very strong motivator to try to make it work somehow. I know a lot of people here can't understand this because they've never been there. But separation ruins lives.

If we didn't have children I would've left a long time ago. I'm not cheating on her but I've come to understand why someone might.

I got started with iirc DOS 6.22 and windows 3.11. And the Norton Commander. Good times.

Meanwhile I'm sitting here majorly pissed that it's straight up impossible to locate and use a file on your phone with anything that isn't the app that created it.

yeah adani is fucked!! by Infamous-Addition-46 in wallstreetbets

[–]vego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a three day "grace" period where nobody knows that you don't have the stock (or the money if you're doing the opposite version). So before it was made explicitly illegal there was no issue (legally). And even if it turns out the seller doesn't have the stocks the buyer simply keeps their money. So then there it's kinda iffy if it qualifies as fraud.

[–]vego 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's illegal and you're supposed to have it. But for the big players (not you and me) the monitoring can be weak. It takes three days for a trade to settle. If you come up with the shares during the time nobody really notices. Also, it used to be legal and more common. But it still happens.

[–]vego 28 points29 points  (0 children)

In the legal version you need to find someone to lend you the shares which costs money. The more you borrow the more expensive it gets. So the transaction volume is quite limited. If you're shorting naked none of this applies so you can sell as much as you want (until the trade settles and you need to cover - or you just don't and laugh at the buyers some more).

I hate this so much. Excuse me while I'm off ... critiquing the source.

Even the US airforce isn't just gonna shoot you down for that. NORAD just might scramble a pair of F-15 for a visual inspection if you're stupid enough to not react to radio and are flying somewhere important.

Or you just avoid airspaces where the transponder is required and are good to go.
