  • Except they were too stupid to do it for the only change that mattered to a lot of us, API pricing/access to the full Reddit.

    I was ready to pay up to $15/mo but after they way they treated the Apollo dev and the fact that for all intents and purposes Apollo was Reddit for me by the end. I’d been on Reddit since the start and used many clients but Apollo was the best and I couldn’t go back to the official or any of the clients that put up with what Reddit did.





  • Was this article written with AI or just by someone who has no clue what they are talking about?

    During his testimony on Thursday and Friday, Bloomberg reports Giannandrea took the time to mention a feature of Safari for iOS 17 that wasn’t reported on for its introduction. The quietly introduced feature allows users to set a different browser when using Private Browsing than the default.

    “Different browser”, what they mean is “different search engine”. Even if this author was competent this article is a nothing-burger. Not sure how setting a different search engine in private mode has anything to do with the Google antitrust trial.


  • The CFPB is an AMAZING tool to have in your back pocket. Pretty much if money is involved and a company is screwing you over you should jump straight to filing a complaint. When I filed on after Spectrum (formally Time Warner, formally Road Runner) was trying to screw on me equipment I had returned (and I had spent hours on the phone with them) I got a call FROM Spectrum in <3 days from a real person who immediately fixed the issue.

    10/10, would use again. If there is a business screwing you over look for the right government agency and file a complaint. You’ll be surprised how effective it is. I’ve also had very good luck with FCC complainants.


  • I really hope they expand this button in software later. Long press as the only activator is absurd. How about single? Double? Triple? Short-long?

    I hate that the only option is long. Also I wish I could change the behavior based on context (is the phone locked, what app is active, etc). I don’t need camera or flashlight if the phone is locked, they are right there but elsewhere that might be nice.

    I’m leaning towards camera in video mode as what I set it to, since getting to video mode takes longer than I’d like in most cases, even from the Lock Screen.


  • This sub sucks. No really, it’s be great if we could actually have conversations about Apple products and decisions instead of it being full of people that just want to dunk on Apple with uninformed and tired takes.

    There is a legit way we can talk about the dongle, how it’s existence makes perfect sense, and how there are cheaper/better alternatives on the market. Instead we have “Hur hur hur, Apple expensive, what do you expect? Are you new?”. It’s not intelligent, it’s not right, and it completely ignores so many realities.
