I’m thinking of switching to an Apple Watch from a Garmin Vivoactive 4. But I’m not sure if that’s a good move.

Nice app, but that “unlock” button under “in-app purchases on sale” is a little scummy though.

First it promises to unlock that feature if you log in or create an account. But once you do that, it’s still not unlocked until you pay.

Say up front that it’s a paid feature. That at least would be honest. Now I just feel used.

I’m sure. But my raspberry pi 3 can barely run Hass without overheating. (had to remove adguard from the same device because that made it overheat a few times a week)

Maybe when I upgrade it to a proper home server, I’ll look into replacing my Google home speakers.

It’s easier to say “hey Google, turn off all lights” than go to Home Assistant and turn each off by hand.

It’ll slowly fizzle away, becoming more and more irrelevant.

btw tumblr isn’t dead either.

Nope, it really doesn’t need that, just use any of the web clients if you need that.

But lemmy, nor Mastodon, nor Pixelfed, nor kbin need that.

“thrives”, “inflates its userbase using instagram”.
Potato, potato.

Musk has fully entered the altright edgelord arena.

Meanwhile, Amazon does sell ads. Sponsored products are advertisements.

What do you mean with “replacing”?

Example, I’m not visiting reddit anymore, instead spending some of my social media time here on Lemmy. So for me it has already replaced it.

But if you mean replacing reddit as “the Internet’s frontpage”. I don’t know. It would be nice, but on the other hand, maybe we shouldn’t want that.

That’s really weird then

Do you add links in your YouTube comments? If so, then that’s the reason. Don’t add links in YouTube comments.

He created Apollo, because he was a reddit user and wanted a mobile app that didn’t suck. So he created one of his own.

He’s not (yet?) a lemmy or kbin user. So he has no need for an app here.

There are plenty other developersp here that do use lemmy/kbin and are busy with creating apps for those platforms. How about you support those other developers instead of complaining that this one developer isn’t doing what you want him to do.

Also, he didn’t try to sell Apollo. He was making a point how ridiculous the API charges were.

There are now in total 26 wallpapers per platform (iPhone, iPad, Mac) up for download.

If you’re on mobile, try scrolling to the bottom of the page.

It very much isn’t a hail Mary to generate money, they’d have bent over backwards if they’d wanted to keep big players like Apollo and RIF on board, if it had been a hail Mary. 20 million bucks a year is nothing to be sneezed at.

The fact that they left Apollo out to dry shows that it never was about making more revenue, but rather to stamp out competition for their own app. As soon as it has accessibility parity with other apps, it’ll turn off API access for unofficial reddit apps alltogether.

Go to wefwef.app in your browser. Now open the options menu of your browser (the three dots, if on Android, the square with the arrow pointing up, if on iOS) and find the option to put a bookmark on your home screen (in iOS it’s called “add to home screen”)

This will create a sandboxed version of wefwef.app, tap it and it should load like a normal app. (this is what Apple envisioned as apps way back when, before they realized that they could make money selling apps)

When the page has loaded, in the bottom middle, tap on “lemmy.world”, and log in to your Lemmy instance.

Enjoy.

One thing to be aware of. If you have selected more than one language in your Lemmy profile, wefwef fails to post comments because you need to select which language you typed in, and you can’t select that (yet?) in wefwef.

You would still know what Meta is thinking of doing on the Fediverse, and adjust course accordingly. Now we 1) know nothing, and 2) have closed off an avenue to gain information.

The 7th one will shock you!
