Pretty cool. That means people could also donate CPU time to instances they love.

He mentioned it in his "Apollo will close down on June 30th" post on /r/ApolloApp (I'm linking it here, but here's the quote so you don't have to gift Reddit your traffic):

Will you build a competitor? Move to one of the existing alternatives?

I've received so many messages of kind people offering to work with me to build a competitor to Reddit, and while I'm very flattered, that's not something I'm interested in doing. I'm a product guy, I like building fun apps for people to use, and I'm just not personally interested in something more managerial.

These last several months have also been incredibly exhausting and mentally draining, I don't have it in me to engage in something so enormous.

I think Christian mentioned he isn't planning to port Apollo to Lemmy, but I haven't given up hope just yet!

I use a mix of CLI, the Git UI built into VSCode, and Sublime Merge.

Sublime Merge is great for getting an overview, it's very snappy (especially when compared to Electron Git UIs), and I love the merge conflict editor. It's not cheap, but worth every penny.

I doubt manufacturers would want to put millions upon millions into research and development if they'd have to open source it all anyways.

I doubt they'll circumvent this. They don't seem to circumvent the mandated USB-C port if the rumors are to be trusted.

Louis Rossmann did a video on this and pointed out that there were phones that had IP67 (Samsung Galaxy S5) or even IP68 (some Sony phone) rating with user replaceable batteries. So yeah, they should be.

I'd actually love if companies/products/software went back to forums and other specialized means to get support. I hate when they refer to Reddit or worse, Discord.

I used Apollo. Now I'm only using it to check whether Christian Selig commented on anything, but nothing more than that.

I plan to nuke my last remaining Reddit account on June 30th.

So they "broke into Reddit" back in February and contacted Reddit in April. After Reddit didn't react they contacted them again a few days ago at this very opportunistic time.

They never specified exactly what kind of data they stole, nor did they prove it by providing samples.

For all we know this story could be entirely made up and they actually have nothing.

But even if they have something, them trying to come across as the good guys in this is so weird to me. No, you're not the good guys. You are criminals.

It's pretty reliable. For livestreams, it doesn't always show correct timestamps and scrubbing back in time doesn't work properly. But for videos it works well. It replaces the YouTube player with the default iOS video player and adds buttons to the top to change things like quality and the native player allows you to choose subtitles and set playback speed.

As it uses the native player, it also supports picture in picture, so you get that without YouTube Premium. It also works for YouTube embeds on other webpages.

Same. With iOS, there isn't much of a point in using third party browsers, as they all have to use the Safari WebKit engine anyways.

Safari also feels great to use, especially with the new-ish bottom navigation layout. It doesn't feel bloated with features, which I feel pretty much any other major browser is nowadays (Edge with its heavy Bing and "shopping" integration, for Brave I'm not sure on iOS but on desktop it has crypto stuff and whatnot built in).

AdGuard works great for the most part. I also use Vinegar for YouTube videos.
