I don’t understand that to begin with. They tout the whole “connected universe” angle but then if you look even slightly behind the curtain it’s obvious there’s nobody overseeing the lore between projects. Not when one is beginning while another is undergoing reshoots and rewrites. It’s not possible and it shows, just like how Tiamut has been sticking out of the ground in universe for like 2 years and all we’ve gotten is a joke reference in She-Hulk lmao.

Wow it’s true. Linux users are like vegans. You never have to wonder because they’ll tell you they are whether you care or not

You literally cannot trust a word any of these clowns say. After Roe was struck down they said “we’ll just leave it up to the states” and now that a majority of Americans are making it clear state by state that they want the right to control their own bodies they’ve once again changed their tune.

“This is why a pure democracy doesn’t work”

i.e. let’s subvert the will of the people. Trump tried and failed to do it too. I’m beginning to believe the worst words you could possibly hear from someone’s mouth is “I’m a conservative”

Right it was a Democrat president who ordered the military marched into the Middle East based on completely made up information only to kill millions 🙄

Ah yes, let’s defend Google for not raising the price of features that were free to begin with like listening with screen off and background listening? Not really sure how much lower the bar can get here

11% can be substantial, especially if the users were the ones generating a majority of the “good” content for the platform. Just look at Reddit. User numbers may not be down that much, but the quality of the site is far, far worse than it was just a few short months ago.

So he wants to built WeChat for US, but everyone here will either be on WhatsApp or iMessage, and good luck moving people from either of those platforms, it’ll never happen. Especially given his continuously worsening reputation.

HDOS has released their RuneLite plugin system into open beta. If you don’t know this client is a recreation of the 2009/2010 era client that contains the original HD update released in 2008.

The developers have also “remastered” several OSRS exclusive regions to be correctly textured and have that classic HD look.

Sadly if you’ve converted over to a Jagex account you cannot use this client yet. While it’s an approved third-party client it has not as of yet been added to the Jagex launcher.

Dropped Netflix and got a Plex share with tens of thousands of movies and TV shows. Costs less than their 4K plan for several streams. Now they’re doing the “you can’t login in more than one location” bullshit? Back to sailing the high seas for me and hopefully many others

A popular third-party Reddit app shut down Friday – and some of the social network's users are pledging to walk away as a result.

Some "Redditors" said in posts on Apollo's subreddit that they'll abandon the network.

"I'm gonna be dropping it," one user wrote. "I just finished using power delete suite to purge my entire history over the past 8 years."

Apollo founder Christian Selig said he would close down the app on June 30 after the company announced a pricing policy to charge developers an "egregiously high" price to access its API.

Third-party apps do not display the advertisements that generate revenue for Reddit – a problem for a company eyeing a stock market listing.

The app, which let Redditors access the platform through its own interface, had more than 1.5 million monthly users in June, Selig said, citing data from analytics firm Mixpanel.

"I suppose I feel a lot of emotions," Selig told Insider on Friday. "I'm heartbroken that an app I loved building and so many people enjoyed using over the years has come to an end so abruptly. And I'm genuinely surprised by how callous and dishonest Reddit has been toward developers, moderators, and the community as a whole over the last few weeks."

He said he felt "incredibly fortunate" to have built and worked with an "amazing community" who helped shape the app: "It's been the journey and honor of a lifetime, and I wouldn't have changed a thing."

The Canadian developer previously said Reddit's demands for compensation were unreasonable compared with how much money Apollo made from paid subscriptions.

"I'm going to quit mobile Reddit," said one user. "If it's not Christian who brings me news, memes and (let's be honest) porn, then I don't want it."

Another said it's "goodbye Reddit, not just goodbye Apollo. Switched to Apollo once Alien Blue went away. Have tried Reddit's official app; unusable is an understatement. Instead of getting used to a new app, I've been practicing getting used to no Reddit. End of an era."

Opponents of Reddit's changes have argued the company was built on the free labor of independent developers, and they should not be required to support Reddit financially.

Major communities on Reddit opted to go dark to protest the API changes, significantly reducing the amount of content on the service. Certain communities have labeled themselves as mature, therefore making themselves ineligible for advertising, to reduce Reddit's revenues.

Reddit did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, made outside normal working hours.
