Appropriately-rated comment.

Yeah, better use the linter too, that way it’s limited to 80 characters

Get Pixel Experience or LineageOS. It’s the whole point of having a Pixel phone; you can still upgrade it after it was planned obsolescenced.

Being connected online is advertising intrusion vectors to would-be nefarious actors

Firefox has built-in ads (that you can disable) on the home page.

Not as hot garbage as Brave cryptoscamming and replacing ads with their own and hijacking affiliate links, but it might be of interest if you want to try Firefox.

What Dart looks like when written by ActionScript programmers

Lots of posts where I disagreed at first, but I managed to find an understanding and, I guess, become a slightly better person.

One thing I fucking loved was when u/TotesMessenger snitched on their posts and it created drama. That was glorious, every time.

low-hanging fruits*

They only documented it when it came for a non-hateful subreddit and it had lots of upvotes and it wasn’t removed by moderators, except for r/teenagers.

Yeah, that culture is coming from the top, nothing much to do about that one sadly

A government-sponsored instance could be interesting, but I’m not sure what value it would bring. Also it would probably turn instantly into worse than Facebook with toxicity.

Putting Tumblr on ActivityPub could be interesting and potentially save it, but there’s so much deleted content from when it was in its prime that I’m not sure if it’s even worth it. The platform is so dead.

That said, giving taxpayer money to private social media businesses is the worst idea ever. In the first place, public money should mean public code.

I don’t even think all apps supported redgifs. I’m making a web app and… how in the fuck am I supposed to support that website? Other image hosts have an extension like .gif in their URL so that’s easy, but what about redgifs? Am I supposed to hard-code something specifically for them? That doesn’t sound right.

Hey, that’s like an IPFS gateway

It would help on other websites and on some in-app ads from mobile devices

You should try it, you’ll see it’s not that bad. It has an overlay that pops up when you open a link with it, so it’s actually a pleasant experience.

I actually paid for all Reddit third-party apps with Google Opinion Rewards at some point because I wanted to find the “best” one. Turns out they all looked terrible or didn’t have moderation features, so I had to settle with Slide.

I’d also be happy to pay for it if it was open source. Having a free version on F-Droid and a paid one on the Play Store for convenience would be awesome.
