This. If you’re unhappy with the shitposts, block /c/lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world and like magic, they’re gone.

It was fully charged ten minutes ago, when the official Reddit app started opening.

During the official app beta, every beta tester complained about every problem they still have- poor battery life, shitty performance, unintuitive and space-inefficient UI, excessive ad placement. Reddit made exactly zero changes as a result of this feedback.

Ah, the Activision Blizzard playbook.

He wasn’t optimistic on being able to make that work, last I heard.

He was initially talking about $3/month, but the issue is that most of the people willing to pay a monthly subscription for Reddit are the heaviest users. So instead of looking at the API usage for the average user, pricing needs to be aimed at the top 10% or 1% of users.

I’m still looking into it, gathering data etc. Unfortunately the average call rates when broken down to the top 2, 5, 10% etc of users is painting a much different picture. This is the cohort of users I would expect to possibly convert to a subscription model and the average rates for those users can be 3,4,5 even 600 hundred calls per day just by the shear amount they use the app. Some of the top users are well over 1000 per day and sometimes over 2000.

So I’m not sure yet. It would probably have to be a usage based subscription model if it was going to be anything and I’m not sure that’s worth doing. I am still looking into it but unfortunately I don’t think my earlier price points will work.

I’ve had to add something like #infinite_scroll_content > div:nth-of-type(1):others() for a few sites in uBlock Origin because every site wants you to just scroll the site forever now and attaches a bunch of other random articles to the bottom of any page you open.

I also block a lot of sidebars, sticky title bars that follow you as you scroll, widgets prompting me to chat with a salesweasel and so, so many cookie notice bars because sites still think they’re a get out of jail free card by EU law.

I’ve actually got quite a few Youtube lines in my filters file, because it’s my computer and it still does what I want despite the best efforts of big tech companies:

www.youtube.com##.yt-formatted-string.style-scope.yt-simple-endpoint:has-text(YouTube Music):nth-ancestor(13)
www.youtube.com###video-title-link:has-text(Mix – ):nth-ancestor(7)

Why don’t titles sponsored by one company also do extra work for free to support a different company’s competing proprietary technology?

Gee, I wonder.

Article doesn’t say a single word about NVIDIA titles that don’t support FSR, either.

Me too.

I originally intended to do a pcie passthrough setup with a second video card and use a Windows VM for gaming, but then DXVK hit and it just wasn’t necessary. The Windows games I cared about worked under Linux so I never got around to it.

Ukraine has the popcorn ready.

They’re apparently planning on hoovering up everyone else’s data while keeping theirs to themselves.

It’s Meta, after all.

There’s also the fact that Lemmy is an open source project, so people who want improved accessibility can do it themselves and send a pull request instead of duct-taping something together that sits on top of the platform or just hoping that improvements happen some day.

The world’s oldest recorded joke, from 1900 BC, was a fart joke.

It’s been 4000 years, it’s probably time to just admit that we as a species are never going to mature past this.

I’ve got a Brother AIO printer/scanner, and it has a Linux driver. Even for the scan function.

I can start the brscan service on my Linux machine and then just press the scan to PC button on the scanner and the scans land in ~/brscan/ over the network.

It makes me smile a little when I get ads for restaurants in the suburb in a completely different city where my ISP has its registered business address.

This. For a lot of people Reddit isn’t reddit.com, it’s Apollo or Relay or Sync or Reddit Is Fun.

After the apps stop working, they won’t be able to keep using the thing they’re used to. They can’t just go back, they’ll have to switch to something different.

Well, he used to have a really good PR team, along with teams at Tesla and SpaceX to prevent him from breaking anything important.

Then he fired the PR team and took direct control of a company that didn’t have a team of handlers.

We’re now seeing the real Musk instead of Musk filtered through teams of competent people.

The more I hear about Windows these last few years, the more it feels like I got out just in time.

Gaming on Linux just keeps getting better, and doing anything on Windows just keeps getting worse.
