You should check out !worldnews@lemmy.world. Lot fewer tankies being useful idiots there. The magic of the fediverse 🪄

This would tie in nicely to existing library systems. As a plus, if your account ever gets stolen or if you’re old and don’t understand this whole technology thing, you can talk to a real person. Like the concept of web of trust.

It’s 100% clear that Reddit is trying to kill off third party apps completely so that they can facefuck you with ads and other garbage. The Apollo dev saw the writing on the wall. I can’t blame other app devs for trying to squeeze a bit more livelihood out of this, but hopefully they’ve realized that they need to move on asap. In the end, it’s a great reminder to not build your business on someone else’s platform, even if they’re “cool”.

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

And yet countries, given free choice, came running to NATO. Curious 🤔

The founders don’t like each other on a personal level, and I haven’t heard about any updates since then, so until there’s new life breathed onto the project somehow, I’m assuming that it’s on the back burner at best.

I’m bearish on Elementary. Their recent-ish drama where the founders split up doesn’t seem good for long-term stability:

How would this apply towards the Reddit API situation? I’m torn between didn’t know and didn’t care

I wonder how hard it will be to just scrape the HTML to accomplish this. It’d be a bit of a cat-and-mouse game, but you’d probably get pretty far just using Google’s user agent string. I kind of think Reddit wouldn’t actually care about scraping vs API access, since all of Reddit’s dumbfuckery seems to be coming from spez panicking due to investor pressure, and I’d bet investors don’t have the faintest idea what “scraping” is.
