    Good, you're finally awake.

    Tom Scott’s channel will stop six months from now
  • Haha sorry! The title was based of his YouTube video title, I could have saved a few scares!

  • Tom Scott’s channel will stop six months from now

    Because its a web app, you can rename it to anything you want...
  • I think I’m favouring Memmy of the TestFlight apps. Although I like Thunder’s markdown preview. Otherwise wefwef feels like home

  • God speed, Apollo
  • Good to know. I guess it’s just a coincidence it started happening same time as RIF then. Either way, this might be it for reddit for a lot of users.

  • Pretty sure RIF is officially down now.
  • Apollo is down too. Like this is it.

  • God speed, Apollo
  • I had no idea how long I was using reddit for until this whole thing blew up. 10 years and the last several years have been exclusively through Apollo. Moving on now.

  • God speed, Apollo

    I was just browsing Apollo for the last time when it closed on me and now won’t open. I guess this is it. Thanks for everything!

    Christian, if you build it they will come!
  • There’s a web app called wefwef that is based on Apollo. It works just like the app when you add it to the Home Screen.

  • Google is about to make life more difficult for custom ROM fans
  • TL;DR from the article itself

    Google has quietly deprecated support for the Dialer and Messaging apps in AOSP. This means brands need to use their own apps or Google’s latest phone and messaging apps. This news could also be a blow to the custom ROM community.

  • Life After Death? Scientists Discover a Planet That Shouldn't Exist
  • ChatGPT summary:

    This article discusses the discovery of a planet called Halla orbiting a red giant star named Baekdu. The star is currently in the phase of helium fusion in its core, which is puzzling because it should have expanded and engulfed the planet. The researchers propose two possible scenarios to explain Halla's survival. One possibility is that Baekdu was originally part of a binary star system, and the merger of the stars prevented the expansion that would have engulfed the planet. The other possibility is that Halla is a relatively new planet that formed from the gas and dust produced by a collision between the stars. This discovery highlights that exoplanets can appear in unexpected places, challenging our assumptions about their formation.

  • Feature request: merge up/down vote buttons with up/down vote count icons

    Not sure if this has been requested already, but as the title says, merge the vote arrows at the bottom of each post. The count can be part of the button so there doesn’t need to be a second set of arrows to vote.

    Soon, hopefully
  • I’ve started using lemmy as my go to now. I still have Apollo installed, but once that stops working I won’t be going back to reddit.

  • Reddit CEO defiant as moderator strike shutters thousands of forums: 'We made a business decision that we’re not negotiating on'
  • Yeah, wasn’t part of Reddit’s reasoning for not backing down that the API backlash only affects a small subset of users and that most of their use base won’t notice what’s going on (besides being inconvenienced by the blackout)? This kind of shines a spotlight on the fact that everyone is seeing what’s going on.

  • What is Lemmy?

    I know there are posts out there explaining this quite well, but I would love an ELI5 version. What is Lemmy and the Fediverse?

    Sad
  • As an Apollo user I can at least say I won’t forget
